Among the many HVAC solutions that homeowners in La Quinta, CA, have for staying cool, ductless air conditioners deserve special attention. Here are some of the benefits of using a ductless AC system:
Streamlined Design
The most obvious advantage that ductless mini-splits offer is their greatly simplified design. Standard central HVAC systems have both indoor and outdoor units and a large number of interacting parts dispersed over a fairly wide area, many of which divide responsibility between heating and cooling. Mini-splits, by contrast, have only one outdoor unit plus one indoor unit for each cooling zone that you set up, and the system as a whole combines both heating and cooling functions.
Another benefit is that mini-splits don’t require any ductwork. Altogether, these things will save you a great deal of room and make it much easier for service technicians to perform maintenance and repair the system if anything should ever go wrong with it.
Enjoy Zoning With Ductless AC Systems
Typically, central HVAC systems take a one-size-fits-all approach to indoor comfort, using the same cooling regime for your entire home. However, this may displease some household members.
Mini-splits allow you to divide your home into distinct cooling zones and arrange for unique temperatures and patterns of cooling in each without the need for extra equipment. You can have as many zones as you have indoor air handler units.
Higher Efficiency
The relatively simple architecture that we’ve described above gives ductless mini-splits an additional advantage that everyone will welcome: greater efficiency. Without ducts, there’s no possibility that any air your ductless AC system produces will vanish because of a leak.
A ductless air conditioner’s zoning capabilities also make it easier to direct treated air to exactly where you need it. These things eliminate some major sources of HVAC inefficiency.
The power and versatility of ductless AC systems make them attractive to a great many homeowners in La Quinta and beyond. If you’d like to consider one of these systems for your home, call Esser Air Conditioning and Heating today to ask for our ductless AC services.
