Over the last decade, ductless mini splits have made the transition from the commercial world (they\u2019re popular in restaurants and hotels) into the residential world. Ductless systems have some important advantages that may tilt your choice for air conditioning installation in Hammond, NJ in their favor.<\/p>\n<p>You will need advice from air conditioning professionals to make the best choice for your new AC. Call A\u2013Professional Heating and Air Conditioning and speak to our comfort specialists about the options available for cooling your home this summer.<\/p>\n<h3>Why ductless may be the way to go<\/h3>\n<p>A ductless mini split heat pump works the same way that standard heat pumps do: using the circulation of refrigerant between indoor and outdoor units to move heat from one place to another. The difference with a ductless mini split is that instead of a single indoor unit connected to a ventilation system, they use multiple smaller blower units mounted in various rooms. Each blower has its own coil, and connects through the back of the wall to the outdoor unit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s how this system can benefit you<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>No ducts! <\/b>This sounds obvious, but consider the sort of problems that ducts can cause your air conditioning. Ductwork gather dirt, dust, and even less pleasant contaminants, which then blow out into your home, lowering the air quality and dirtying the space. Dirt also impedes airflow and makes the system strain harder. You need to schedule regular cleaning to make sure the ducts remain dirt-free. Any breaks in the ductwork require repairs or else the AC will lose air pressure. Ductless systems have none of these issues.<\/li>\n<li><b>Zone control saves money!<\/b> The individual blowers of a ductless system allow you to control the temperature in rooms separate from each other. You no longer have to cool down the whole house when you turn on the AC, only the places that require it. You\u2019ll see a drop in your power bills when you only need to keep the air conditioning running in the spots of the house that need it.<\/li>\n<li><b>Heating and cooling! <\/b>Although we\u2019ve focused specifically on cooling down your home in this post (summer is coming up, after all), a ductless mini split heat pump has the same advantage that all heat pumps have: they work as air conditioners <i>and<\/i> heaters. Their heating power is far more efficient than that of fuel-burning systems like furnaces and boilers\u2014another way you\u2019ll save money.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ductless mini splits are not the ideal comfort solution for all homes. If you already have ducts in your house, you may consider installing a standard heat pump. However, for new construction projects and add-on rooms, ductless systems are great options.<\/p>\n<p>Call A\u2013Professional Heating and Air Conditioning to schedule an appointment regarding your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aprofessionalheatingandair.com\/air-conditioning\/installation-replacement\">new air conditioning installation in Hammond, LA<\/a>.
