VRF systems are an excellent way to enjoy the benefits of central air without having to install ducts. This type of system is composed of an outdoor condensing unit and several indoor units connected by refrigerant lines. It functions similarly to a central air conditioner, but without the need for bulky and difficult-to-install ducts. Ductless systems are often used as supplemental, energy-saving air conditioning units in homes that already have central air conditioning systems.
However, they are also a great choice for homes that don't have an air conditioning system or duct system. In these cases, a ductless air conditioning system can work just as well as a central air conditioning unit. What's more, these heat pumps offer more flexibility. Ductless air conditioners can be used to treat a single room or multiple indoor units can be installed to create separate, on-demand air conditioning zones.
Installing a ductless system is relatively easy and straightforward. The outdoor condensing unit is usually mounted on the side of the house or on the roof, while the indoor units are mounted on the walls of the rooms that need cooling. The refrigerant lines are then connected between the outdoor and indoor units. The installation process is much simpler than installing a traditional central air conditioning system with ducts.
It also requires less space and is less disruptive than installing ducts. Plus, it's much more affordable than installing a traditional central air conditioning system with ducts. Ductless systems are also much more energy efficient than traditional central air conditioning systems with ducts. They use less energy to cool the same amount of space, which can result in significant savings on your energy bills.
In addition, ductless systems are much quieter than traditional central air conditioning systems with ducts. This makes them ideal for homes where noise levels need to be kept low, such as bedrooms or home offices. Overall, ductless systems are an excellent option for homes that don't have an existing air conditioning system or duct system. They offer all the benefits of central air without the hassle and expense of installing ducts.
