Ductless Air Conditioning Solutions
The best way to avoid unexpected ductless AC repairs is through seasonal maintenance. We recommend scheduling this every spring before you need to cool your home. If you do experience a problem, there are viable repair options. Our HVAC technicians can correct most issues, including musty odors, excess condensation, low refrigerant, and weak airflow.
If you want to install a ductless HVAC system, the first step is to determine how many zones you need. The average system has between two and four zones, but there are options for larger homes that need even more. That includes installing multiple outdoor units in a series. Once you’ve established the zones, our installers will perform a load calculation for each. That will reveal the cooling output for each zone and the overall output required of the whole system.
From there, you can explore seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) ratings. The higher the SEER rating, the cheaper the ductless air conditioning will be to operate. Systems with higher SEER ratings are generally more expensive due to their sophisticated designs. That said, they may also make you eligible for incentives that offset some of that premium.
Another consideration is how you’ll mount your indoor units. There are various alternatives, and you can mix and match them as needed or preferred throughout your home. Wall units tend to be the least expensive and most popular option. Modern wall units are relatively small and don’t take up much space. If you prefer ceiling mounting, there are several possibilities. Those include suspended units, cassette models that install flush, and cassette models that extend down. The dropdown models are particularly effective in large, open areas where traditional wall models aren’t practical.
