Ductless AC

Ductless AC Installation in Hueytown

Do you have issues with keeping each room and each person in your household comfortable? Some people are cold-natured while other people are always hot. Maybe your air conditioning system is older and having issues, and you’re looking into the next system you will have installed. Brown Cooling, Heating, Plumbing and Electrical ductless AC’s provide a solution to all your temperature and system needs.

How Does Ductless AC work?

A ductless AC system not only helps the Hueytown environment but allows you to control the comfort level in each room of your house. You can keep some rooms colder and others warmer with this type of AC. Ductless air conditioners are also known as mini-split systems, and they work much differently than your typical, central AC unit. A mini-split system is installed directly into the wall of your home, where cool air is directly distributed into your household.

Similar to your central AC system, ductless systems are controlled by a panel on the interior unit. Some systems also come equipped with a remote. These systems do not use ducts. Instead, the interior wall-mounted units are connected via tubes to an outdoor compressor unit. A single, exterior compressor unit can control up to eight indoor mini-split mounts.

5 Benefits of Going Ductless

They Offer Highly Flexible Solutions

Whereas traditional heat pumps and central air conditioning systems force cooled and heated air through ducts, ductless heating and cooling systems deliver air directly into different zones. They are comprised of a small outdoor unit and one or more indoor units that require nothing more than mounting capabilities and access to electricity.

Ductless heating and cooling offers homeowners a cost-effective way to replace inefficient window air conditioning units, space heaters and electric baseboard heaters. They can be installed in home additions, new construction, condominiums and apartments, or to improve temperature control in specific rooms. Ductless systems can even be fit for homes that currently use ducted forced-air systems.

They Save You Money

One of the biggest reasons why Hueytown homeowners switch to ductless heating and cooling is overall cost savings. In recent years, utility costs across the country have skyrocketed. When a home’s temperature depends upon an inefficient system, monthly bills can quickly climb out of control. Ductless heating and air conditioning systems operate on less power – they are smaller than traditional forced-air systems, and because the temperature-controlled air is delivered directly into a room, there is no loss in efficiency. Multi-split systems also allow homeowners to create “zones” in their homes, which means they no longer have to cool or heat rooms that aren’t occupied.

They Improve Indoor Air Quality – Happy Breathing!

Oftentimes, your Hueytown indoor air quality can actually be lower than the quality of the outdoor air. With traditional central AC systems, air ducts must be professionally cleaned on a regular basis, and even after cleaning, dust and allergens are left behind. Ductless air conditioning and heating systems, on the other hand, offer multi-stage filtration that can drastically reduce dust, bacteria, pollen, allergens and other particulates in the air.

They Are Quick and Easy to Install

Installing a traditional, ducted system can take several weeks and disrupts daily activities in the home. Ductless systems are far less invasive to install, and depending upon the number of indoor and outdoor units required, can be up and running in as little as one day when you work with Brown Cooling, Heating, Plumbing and Electrical.

Mini-split systems run on small pipes that require a mere three-inch hole. That means Hueytown homeowners don’t have to worry about rebuilding walls or ceilings around ductwork and there is no loss of precious square footage.

Ductless Air Conditioning Lowers Your Carbon Footprint

The small size of a ductless cooling system and its zoning capabilities allows for greater energy efficiency than a central AC system. Ductless heating and air conditioning systems follow ENERGY STAR guidelines, which means they are far more energy-efficient than the minimum standards set forth by the U.S. federal government. Improved efficiency saves money, of course, but it also helps reduce your total carbon output.
