Air Conditioning Systems

Save Money By Air Conditioning Without Ducts

You can keep your home cool without a central air conditioning system by taking advantage of ductless air conditioning.

Traditional air conditioners use large systems of ducts similar to those in forced air heating systems or units mounted on windows. Ductless air conditioning uses a unit mounted on the ceiling which generates cool air. Since heat rises, this pulls the heat out of the home while drawing cool air in. This enables the ductless air conditioning system to cool your home without a fan.

Not having a fan means that ductless conditioning systems use less electricity than traditional systems. This can lead to lower energy costs in the summer time when air conditioning use can lead to high electric bills.

Ductless Air Conditioning Systems can cool your home much faster than traditional central air conditioning because the air coming from a ductless unit is cooler than that from a traditional system. Even though ductless air conditioners are colder that traditional conditioning your home won't get as cold with a ductless air conditioning system because the cool air is being released near the ceiling.

The lack of duct work can make your home a healthier place because a fan isn't blowing air through ducts which can fill with dust. The ductless air conditioner is only moving air through rooms which means it only has to cool the air around not the duct system. This gets the cold air to you quicker and makes more efficient use of the cooling system.

There are other advantages to ductless air conditioning, some ductless Air Conditioning Systems allow to cool just one room at once. This can save energy because it would enable to cool only the rooms you were using. For example you could only cool the bedroom at night rather than the entire house.

Some ductless Air Conditioning Systems come with some very special features including dehumidifiers and air cleaners which can make your home healthier as well as more comfortable. Other ductless air conditioning systems can be set to distribute air throughout the entire home. A few ductless air conditioning systems can even double as heating systems when it gets cold outside.

Ductless air conditioning systems would be an excellent investment for homes that lack central heating systems or houses with hot water heat. Since these homes don't have the ductwork needed for traditional centralized air conditioning ductless conditioning would be an economical alternative in situations where homes have no ductwork.

The cost of purchasing and installing a ductless air conditioning system is still about 30 percent higher than the price of putting in a traditional air conditioning system. This means that it would probably take several years for the energy savings from a ductless air conditioning system to offset the additional cost. Despite the added costs, ductless air conditioning is probably the future of air conditioning because of its efficiency and versatility.
