Ductless HVAC: A Game-Changer in Home Comfort
At Gordon’s Heating & Air, we’re always excited to discuss the latest innovations in home comfort technology. Today, we’re diving into the world of ductless HVAC systems, a revolutionary solution that’s changing the way homeowners think about heating and cooling.
What is a Ductless HVAC System?
Ductless HVAC, also known as mini-split systems, consists of two main components:
1. An outdoor compressor/condenser unit
2. One or more indoor air-handling units
These components are connected by a conduit housing the power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing, and a condensate drain.
Key Advantages of Ductless Systems
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems are highly efficient because they:
– Eliminate ductwork, which can account for up to 30% energy loss in traditional systems
– Use inverter-driven compressors that adjust output based on demand
– Allow for zone control, heating or cooling only occupied spaces
Flexibility in Installation
These systems are ideal for:
– Older homes without existing ductwork
– Room additions
– Spaces with specific heating/cooling needs (e.g., sunrooms, attics)
Improved Air Quality
Ductless systems often include advanced filtration, reducing allergens and improving indoor air quality.
Installation Process
While less intrusive than traditional HVAC installations, ductless system setup requires expertise. Our technicians at Gordon’s Heating & Air are skilled in:
1. Determining optimal indoor unit placement
2. Creating a small hole for the conduit
3. Installing the outdoor unit on a firm surface
4. Connecting the indoor and outdoor units
5. Testing the system for proper operation
