As a resident of Punta Gorda, FL, you have various options to help you stay comfortable at home. Among them, ductless HVAC systems deserve special attention. Here are three of their many advantages to consider:
Efficiency
Ductless air conditioning and heating systems are substantially more efficient than nearly all other kinds of HVAC systems. They have Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) ratings of 20 to 30. This means that if you install a mini-split, your utility bills will probably be considerably lower this winter.
Versatility
Ductless HVAC systems have a group of indoor air handler units, each of which will sit in a separate climate zone in your home. This means that you could use a mini-split to create a different heating and cooling schedule for each of your home’s rooms/zones.
Like heat pumps, mini-splits can operate as both heating and cooling systems. Traditional HVAC systems don’t have such a combination of features. Because they’re so versatile, ductless mini-splits can give you an enormous amount of power to customize your home’s indoor climate.
Easy Maintenance
Since the individual units that make up a ductless mini-split are easily accessible, maintenance is a relatively simple task. The primary work that you’ll need to do is to wash the filter in each handler every two weeks.
Other tasks, like cleaning the coils or compressor, will require professional intervention. But since there is no ductwork to navigate, even these duties are easier to perform. And there’s no need to be on the lookout for ductwork leaks. Remember to schedule inspections and tuneups for your system every year.
Ductless mini-splits can put much more power into your hands while saddling you with a much smaller burden. To install one of these impressive systems in your home, call Executive Cooling and Heating and ask for our ductless single- and multi-zone HVAC services.
