Ductless & Mini-Split Systems in The Villages & Ocala, FL
Ductless AC systems, also known as split systems or “mini-splits”, are a great way to efficiently heat and cool a single space or entire building. Like your central AC system, ductless air conditioners use refrigerant to heat and cool. However, ductless split systems do not require air ducts. In fact, installation is easy and only requires a 3 in. hole to allow wiring to run from the compact, sleek indoor air handler to the quiet outdoor unit. If you would like to use your ductless system for multiple rooms or if you want to adopt the energy-efficient zone air conditioning and heating method, you can install two or more outdoor units and support several indoor air handlers throughout any size building.
When to Go Ductless
The most popular application for ductless air conditioning and heating in our area is in enclosed sun rooms. If your lanai is completely enclosed or you have a converted garage, you definitely need air conditioning in order to enjoy it during our hot Florida summers. Other times to go ductless include:
- Enclosed sunroom
- Computer rooms or other spaces that house electrical equipment
- Converted garage or attic
- Bonus rooms
- Master bedrooms/suites
- Any space without existing ductwork
Benefits of Ductless Heating and Cooling
There are many advantages that go hand-in-hand with ductless heating and cooling:
- Indoor air handlers work independently from the main unit and each other, giving you complete control of your indoor environment
- Increased energy efficiency will result in lower monthly utility bills and more money in your pocket
- Ductless systems have built-in air purifiers, so you breath cleaner air and avoid dust and mold spore circulation that can be attributed to dirty air ducts
- Easy, noninvasive installation
- Whisper-quiet operation
- Cash incentives from local utility companies for upgrading to a greener system (check with your local provider)
