Advantages of Ductless Heating & Cooling System Installation
What are Ductless Systems?
The outdoor unit is placed at ground level outdoors, while the indoor unit is typically placed up on a wall in bedrooms and main living areas. These days, most ductless units come with a remote control so that you can easily adjust the system settings for greater comfort and efficiency.
A ductless heat pump is energy saving technology that conveys heat without the need to generate heat. Compared to traditional heating and cooling units, ductless systems are quieter, distribute air more efficiently and offer numerous benefits to occupants of a living or working space.
Signs You Need to Replace Your Ductless System
When we think of ductless systems, we often think of how efficient they are at reverse heating and not needing any ductwork installation. Even though all of those things sound great, you should still be aware of common problems that come with this system and be aware of when you may need to replace your system.
Water Leaks -
With a ductless system, it is connected to a refrigerant line, power line and a condensate line. With the condensate line, it removes the moisture for the air and helps reduce the humidity throughout your home. Although, if you notice a water drip behind the air handler on the wall, this can lead to the air handler falling to the ground.
Leaking Refrigerant -
A problem that can occur in ductless systems as well is a leaking refrigerant, just like heat pumps, ductless systems rely on refrigerant to run properly. Once your system starts to leak refrigerant, you may notice a few things. You may see that your heating or cooling isn't working as well, maybe even the coils on the air handler icing over. If you notice things things you may need a repair or replace your ductless mini split.
Age -
Ductless air conditioners are usually made to last around 15 to 20 years. Having a system older than that, you'll probably be facing frequent repairs on your ductless system. If you notice that this is happening, you will end up saving money in the long run by replacing your system all together.
How Long Does it Take to Install a Ductless System
If you call in for a ductless system installation service, you can anticipate the project to take from as little as a couple hours to as long as four days. This will depend on the number of units that are being installed, the type, and if this will be for a home or commercial installation. Generally speaking, the process is quite quick shall there be no unforseen circumstances where additional repair may be required.
Benefits of Making the Switch to Ductless
Here are the most significant benefits of a ductless system:
More Comfort –Ductless systems distribute warm and cool air in open spaces more efficiently, especially if your home features a modern open-floor plan style.
Cheaper Installation – Installation of a traditional heating and cooling unit can be costly if you require new ductwork or have to replace your existing ductwork. Ductless systems do not require any ductwork and just need one installation point. In most cases, they can be installed and operational in a day.
Cleaner Air –Ductwork builds up with dust, dander, debris and hair over the years. You typically need to clean out your ducts professionally every year or 2 years depending on the volume of contaminants they are likely to collect. While they are present, these particles are emitted into the air. Ductless systems feature air purification in addition to heating and cooling, which means the air is consistently cleaner and healthier.
Efficient Running Costs – Ductless heating and cooling systems keep your home comfortable at a fraction of the cost of traditional heating and cooling methods. You can also turn off the air in rooms that are not in use, thus ensuring the energy your unit consumes only what you need.
Year-Round Comfort – Ductless units can be used for all seasons because they emit heated and cooled air.
PGE Savings – Portland General Electric also offers incentives to customers that install ductless systems. These incentives range from rebates to overall better efficiency. The exact savings will vary, but as long as you use a PGE contractor for your ductless unit, you are bound to save even more.
