We’re here to break down some differences between ductless and central AC systems.
Standard HVAC units have their fair share of pros and cons. It’s important to understand both cooling methods to determine whether or not you’d like this type of system for your home.
One benefit to consider when determining whether you’d like a central AC system is the price of installation. The cost will typically be less than that of its ductless counterpart, making this a beneficial option to consider when on a budget.
Additionally, standard AC systems are also virtually invisible during day-to-day life. This is because the ductwork used to transport air resides out of sight in your ceilings, walls or floors. The interior unit is often tucked away behind a door, meaning the only part visible is the outdoor unit.
Using an air conditioning system that relies on ductwork can bring with it some cons to consider. For instance, tears that develop in the ducts can reduce the efficiency of the system.
Ducts can also become health hazards when tears or holes appear and allow contaminants to sneak in. This can negatively impact your indoor air quality as the air that flows into your home has to pass through contaminants such as dust or mold.
To understand whether or not going ductless is a good choice for your home, you’ll need to understand the advantages and disadvantages these systems can provide.
Ductless AC units can bring a variety of benefits to homeowners! These systems are easy to install and are quieter than a centralized system. They’re also known for being more energy efficient, and they can reduce your carbon footprint significantly.
Ductless units are also more consistent in providing clean, pure air, and they give you the option of zoning or customizing the temperature of rooms throughout your home.
The cons that come with ductless systems are few and far between, but one thing to consider is the visibility of the unit. Though most manufacturers make their ductless devices thin and sleek, they’re still more eye-catching than a standard AC system.
This is because interior units are installed on the wall of your home. If you feel that the aesthetic of your home is ruined by an HVAC unit in its rooms, ductless may not be the best option for you.
Additionally, ductless air conditioning is typically more expensive to install. While its efficiency can help make up for this cost, it’s still something homeowners should consider
