It wasn’t long ago when I remember talking with my friends about the difference between ducted & ductless HVAC systems.
The reason why the people I was with and I got to talking about this is because one of our friends recently obtained a ductless HVAC plan & had that installed by a local company.
He kept saying that he wasn’t sure what to expect at first, but the plan turned out to be better than ever. He said it was amazing because it was seriously energy efficient & made his beach home perfectly comfortable & cozy. I asked him about what kind of air filters that type of plan used & he said his used washable air filters that were pre installed in the inside HVAC units. He said he has 5 zones in his beach home where he can have odd temperature control settings in every zone. Most of us laughed & thought that couldn’t be possible, but the people I was with and I chose to go to hang out at his venue just to see this for ourselves. The conversation really turned when the people I was with and I all saw how excellent this ductless HVAC plan was. Our buddy told us there were numerous reasons for the comfort & energy savings. He explained that using air duct forces you to lose some 20% of energy efficiency alone, & worse if you have any leaks in the air duct system. Also, these ductless systems are variable speed systems. Operating at odd speeds accordingly allows for the HVAC to save a lot of energy. And of course, the zones make it so you don’t have to heat or cool the whole home, which also saves crucial currency.
