Install a Ductless Air Conditioner and Get Rid of Your Window AC
Attempting to cool down your entire Radford, Virginia home with a window air conditioner is a fruitless effort indeed. No matter how costly or well-marketed these products are, they're always inefficient. Even the very best of them only has the capacity to cool down just one or two rooms. Worse still, window air conditioners create a visible point of ingress and compromise your home security. The good news is that you don't have to put up with your noisy window unit any longer. With a ductless mini-split air conditioner, you can bypass the need for HVAC ductwork and enjoy quiet, efficient, whole-house cooling.
Why Ductless Air Conditioners Are an Increasingly Popular Choice
Ductless air conditioners are a remarkable innovation in the world of home cooling. With these systems, even older properties that lack HVAC ducting can have whole-house AC service. Although they're comparable to central air conditioners in this respect, this is where their similarity ends. By their very nature, ductless AC systems are markedly more efficient. With ductless air conditioning, a single outside unit is connected to one or more indoor air handlers. Every room or zone in your home that has an indoor air handler will have its own thermostat and the benefit of customized cooling. You can turn the air conditioner up in your favorite space when you want to relax in a cooler environment. Meanwhile, other building residents can turn their air handlers off or adjust their thermostat settings to suit their tastes. This eliminates the energy waste that comes from central cooling systems that are designed to cool all areas of a building uniformly.
How Ductless Air Conditioners Are Installed
The installation of ductless air conditioning requires very few building modifications. Apart from installing a single outdoor component, your technician will need to drill a three-inch hole in the exterior wall to accommodate the electrical wires and refrigerant lines for each air handler. Once the work is done, your HVAC company will test the setup and give you a quick walk-through on using your new equipment.
