If you’re looking to keep your home cool this summer with a lower energy bill, you may consider upgrading to a new HVAC system. While perusing current models, you may see ductless AC options. These unique units offer many benefits you should understand before making a final decision. Below, Williamson Air Conditioning in Orange Beach, AL, shares five questions they are commonly asked about these systems to help you decide if they’re the right fit for your home.

4 Ductless Air Conditioner FAQ

How Do They Work?

These small units contain both an evaporator coil and a fan, mitigating the need for multiple pieces inside and outside the home like traditional air conditioners. Ductless AC’s are strategically placed throughout a home to fan air into all the important places to keep you cool all summer.

Where Do They Work Best?

Bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchens can all benefit from these handy HVAC units. They are compact and discrete, and you can place them almost anywhere. Each unit serves a particular range or zone of cooling power you should look at before deciding where to best place it for optimal use. These systems can be installed in new construction, home additions, and to replace existing ductwork or pipes.

Are They Efficient?

Ductless AC units use up to 50% less energy than their traditional counterparts. This is because the cool air doesn’t grow warmer while traveling through ductwork — it blows directly out of the unit to keep your home comfortable.

Are There Rebates Available?

Because of their excellent use of energy, some states offer rebates for installing ductless air conditioners. Talk with your local energy office to learn what options may be available to you through your state or federal programs.
