Summer seems to be extra warm this year, and we’re probably all looking forward to fall and cooler temperatures. But it’s definitely not time to turn off our air conditioners in favor of that cooler weather just yet, right? That said, how’s your cooling system operating this season?
If it hasn’t been operating at what you feel is its best, you shouldn’t have to settle for this. It could be time to consider an upgrade! And if you’ve been using a traditional central air conditioner all this time, you should know that there are other options out there, such as ductless air conditioning (and heating). Curious to know more and find out if going ductless is right for you? Read on!
What Does It Mean to Go Ductless?
You might be wondering what exactly a ductless mini-split air conditioner and heater actually is. They’re growing in popularity, but still aren’t that common, so we understand if you’re not completely familiar with them. Read on to learn more!
Ductless systems operate on heat pump technology. This means that they both cool and heat homes from the same unit. They’re a little different from traditional heat pumps though, because instead of having a single indoor air handler that distributes air through vents into the entire home, they have up to 4 indoor air handlers that can be operated independently of one another.
Why is this a good thing? Well because it’s way more efficient than using a standard air conditioner or even a heat pump–if you only want to cool (or heat) one or two rooms, you can!
