What is a Ductless HVAC System?
Ductless HVAC units are pretty new to the neighborhood, so you may find yourself asking, what is a ductless hvac system?
A ductless hvac system is a hvac unit that can cool one room, or multiple rooms with multiple units, without the use of duct-work.
This can be a great solution for providing cooling for a number of different situations where you may have difficulty connecting to your existing HVAC duct-work.
Where would someone need a ductless HVAC system?
-
Garage
If you’re not actually using your garage for your car, you can reclaim that living space. Have you considered turning your single or double car garage into a man cave or rec room? A ductless HVAC system would solve the issue of comfort in the hot summer months.
Because the garage wasn’t originally a living space, it isn’t insulated at the door and doesn’t have supply air vents from your homes main HVAC system. All you need to do it insulate your garage door and add a ductless split system. You can save on power as well by only turning the unit on when you are using it!
-
Attic Room
A lot of older homes have stairs going up to a room in the attic. These days, a lot of people are all about Shabby Chic. What’s Shabbier than an old attic!? Turn that dusty attic room into a guest room with a few carefully planned steps and add a ductless split system to keep your guests comfortable!
-
Bonus Room
You know, that room above the garage that no one wants to go in because the building didn’t put supply vents… You can add a ductless split in that room so your family will want to use it. A ductless split is a much more attractive option than a window AC unit. It also will cost less energy and be more energy efficient!
-
Addition
If you are thinking about adding onto a room, like expanding your Kitchen, think about adding a ductless split system. Adding square footage to your home that is currently vented is an awesome idea and will increase the value in your home.
Unfortunately, when you add square footage, your existing unit may not be able to handle the load of that extra space. Adding a ductless split will save you from having to change out your entire system.

A room that has bigger windows or higher ceilings
Does every room in your house stay comfortable but one? It happens to people all the time. Those high ceilings are beautiful, but those rooms are impossible to keep comfortable when it’s 100 degrees in Nashville. Adding a ductless split system to that one room will change your life. You will immediately feel more comfortable as soon as it comes on!
-
Every Room
Purchasing an older home that doesn’t have central HVAC? Or are you looking to upgrade the efficiency of your current unit? A ductless split is a great option for both. In older homes, there is going to be a big amount of money to spend to get HVAC put in.
You have to start from scratch and get all new lines, duct-work, vents… etc. Utilizing new technology and choosing ductless is a perfect way to keep your home comfortable and to keep your costs down. Not to mention, increase the property value!
