Are you planning on getting a new AC system? If so, you may not know all of your options. Some homeowners assume that their upgraded system must be designed the same as their older system. There are a number of AC system options. Some of them require ductwork. However, there are ductless AC systems too. The following points will help you to understand more about ductless AC systems and how they might benefit you.

Zone Control

If you currently have a traditional AC system, you may have encountered times when some family members were too hot or too cold. Others might have felt as though the temperature in your home was comfortable. A ductless system will allow you and your family members to set the temperature in each room. Zone control is also beneficial when you have rooms that are not occupied. You do not have to cool those rooms. You can turn on the AC in the occupied rooms only.

Energy-Efficient

A central AC system with a traditional design cools an entire home, which can mean wasted energy. The wasted energy equates to high energy bills. By choosing which rooms you need to cool, you can save money on energy costs. This is also a good way to lower your carbon footprint. If you live alone, you likely do not need to cool your whole house. It makes sense to opt for an AC system that gives you full control over which rooms you desire to keep cool.

Fast and Affordable Installation

There is a lot of labor involved with a traditional AC installation. Sometimes the existing ductwork has to get replaced as part of the installation. Ductless systems do not use ducts, and this can cut the labor time involved with the installation. Installations are often billed by the hour. Saving time on installing a new AC system equates to saving money on the installation.

Reduce Allergens

Ductwork is often filled with dust and other allergens. The ductwork is responsible for circulating air throughout a home. This means that the allergens get dispersed into the air. It can aggravate the allergies of allergy-prone individuals. By choosing a ductless system, you will not have to worry about allergens from your AC system.
