Several rooms in my house always seemed to be either too cold or overheated.
The sunshine coming through the windows, amount of shade, winter wind and all sorts of factors impact the temperature.
Adjusting the thermostat affected the temperature of every room in the house. My duct system is too old to accommodate the necessary valves for zone control, and I was unwilling to replace the entire heating and cooling system. I started researching alternatives and came across ductless split systems. A ductless configuration includes an outdoor air compressor that links to one or multiple indoor air handlers. The installation requires a small, three-inch hole in an exterior wall to accommodate the conduit and access to electricity. The air handlers are compact, lightweight and mount up high on the wall. The whole installation process was completed in a single day and caused no damage or mess. We now have air handlers located in five rooms of the house. Each one features an independent thermostat and allows for customized temperature settings. The system provides both heating and cooling capacity and provides perfect year round comfort. Because it uses something called inverter technology to regulate the speed of operation, the ductless system is wonderfully energy efficient. It maintains very even temperatures, helps to combat excess humidity in the summer and actively filters contaminants out of the air. We’re able to operate the air handlers by way of cordless remotes. We can adjust the direction of the airflow, switch from heating to cooling, raise and lower temperature setting and adjust the fan speed.
