Ductless Split FAQs
Ductless air conditioners, also known as ductless mini-split systems, are worth it for many homeowners. They offer several benefits, including:
- Energy Efficiency: Ductless systems are highly efficient.
- Zoned Cooling: They allow for targeted cooling, so you can cool specific areas of your home without wasting energy on unused spaces.
While ductless air conditioners have many benefits, there are a few disadvantages:
- Initial Cost: The upfront cost can be higher compared to traditional window units or even some central air systems, though this may be partially offset by energy savings over time.
- Aesthetics: The indoor units are visible on the walls and might not blend seamlessly with the home’s decor.
The cost of a ductless air conditioner can vary widely depending on the size of the system, the number of indoor units, and the complexity of the installation. Generally, you can expect to pay around $6,000 per unit installed. For a multi-zone system with several indoor units, the cost can rise to $11,00 0 or more.
Ductless air conditioners do not need to be vented like traditional window units. However, they do require a small hole (about 3 inches in diameter) to be drilled through the wall to connect the indoor and outdoor units. This hole allows for the passage of refrigerant lines, electrical wiring, and a condensate drain line.
No. While having a unit in every room can provide the most precise temperature control, it’s not required. Many homeowners choose to install units in the most commonly used rooms and rely on the airflow from those units to cool adjacent spaces. The number of units you need will depend on your home’s layout and your specific cooling needs.
A single ductless unit can effectively cool a single room or a designated zone. Multi-zone ductless systems, which consist of one outdoor unit connected to multiple indoor units, can cool several rooms. Depending on the model and capacity of the outdoor unit, you can have up to eight indoor units connected to one outdoor compressor, allowing for comprehensive cooling of multiple rooms or zones within a home.
