What Are the Advantages of Ductless Air Conditioning?

Ductless air conditioning delivers comfort straight to a room inside your Linwood home. It eliminates leaky ductwork that can drain your pocketbook and pollute your conditioned air.

Want to turn your attic or garage into a gathering space without extending air ducts? Go ductless.

Want to add air to a charming older home built without ductwork? Install a ductless AC unit, switch it on, and enjoy the breeze.

Ductless systems—also referred to as mini splits—are the most flexible heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems you can purchase. You can install a ductless AC for cooling purposes only—or upgrade to a ductless heat pump that provides heating and cooling for year-round comfort.

Broadley’s Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning offers ductless systems from Mitsubishi and Bryant, two of the most trusted names in the HVAC industry. Let’s look at some of the advantages of ductless air conditioning for your home.

Quiet, Convenient Comfort at Your Fingertips

Ductless systems operate so quietly, you might not notice they’re running.

How do they work? Mostly, like an air conditioning unit.

A ductless unit includes an outdoor unit and one or more individual air handlers equipped with an evaporator coil and a fan. The air handlers, sleek in design, attach to the walls of your home. Refrigerant tubing and electrical wires connect the outdoor and indoor units.

The indoor air handler delivers cooled air directly into your living space—no ductwork necessary. You can choose between a single-zone system that provides comfort to one specific area or a multi-zone system that combines one outdoor unit with up to eight indoor air handlers for zoned comfort throughout your entire home.

A remote control orchestrates the whole operation. Broadley’s Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning would be happy to provide you with a free consultation on how ductless can improve your comfort and save you money.

Spend Less on Ductless

• Beginning on January 1, 2023, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) offers up to a $600 federal tax credit on qualifying high-efficiency air conditioning models and up to $2,000 in federal tax credits on qualifying air-source heat pumps.
   
   With gas, oil, and electricity costs going higher and higher, these federal tax credits help offset the costs of upgrading to high-efficiency systems that use less energy.

• A multi-zone system divides your home into different temperature zones, with a separate thermostat controlling each individual air handler. No longer will you spend extra money to heat and cool unoccupied rooms.

• High-efficiency ductless systems include inverter-driven compressor technology that uses the precise amount of energy needed to cool or heat your New Jersey home. These systems run longer at lower speeds, avoiding the constant cycling that wears down components and drives up energy bills.

• Leaky ducts cost you bucks. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), leaky ductwork allows up to 30 percent of your conditioned air to escape through small tears and loose connections. A ductless system eliminates this problem.

• Improve your indoor air quality (IAQ). Ductless air conditioning offers advanced filtration to drastically reduce bacteria, dust, pollen, allergens, and other pollutants in the air. Plus, they come with washable filters you can clean and replace regularly.
   
   And because ductless systems are more energy efficient than conventional fuel-burning HVAC equipment, you reduce your home’s carbon footprint. Doing so helps protect our state’s natural resources.
