Supplement Your Central HVAC with a Ductless Unit

Do some rooms in your home stay cold in the winter or warm during the summer? Age, disrepair, or poor design can make a central HVAC system incapable of maintaining a consistent temperature in any living space. If you’re worried that you might have to replace the entire system, here’s some good news. A supplemental ductless HVAC installation can help ensure you enjoy a comfortable environment year-round in Charlotte, NC.

A Duct-Free Solution to Indoor Comfort

The lack of ductwork differentiates ductless heat pumps from central HVAC systems. Commonly referred to as mini-splits, they feature sleekly designed air handling units you can install anywhere you need heating or cooling. Instead of air ducts, conduit lines connect the air handlers to a single outdoor unit. Each air handler has its own thermostat, so you can alter the temperature to match your needs.

Energy-Efficient Operation

In the average central HVAC system in the Greater Lake Norman area, ductwork accounts for up 30% of its energy consumption. Eliminating the ductwork middleman make ductless systems some of the most energy-efficient systems on the market. When it comes to other kinds of supplementary systems, there’s no contest. Ductless mini-splits use 60% less energy than electric heaters and 30% less energy than window AC units.

Easy Installation

Compared to central air systems, a ductless HVAC installation takes relatively little time. It also requires fewer alterations to your property. Once the outdoor unit gets installed, a single hole is drilled behind each air handler to accommodate the conduit line.
