You may have heard of ductless mini-split air conditioners. Ductless heating and cooling, popular in Europe and Japan, is now taking off in the United States. If you're considering installing a new cooling system before the summer heat sets in, ductless might be a good option. But ductless mini-split heat pumps (this is another term for them) aren't ideal for every home.

The best way to find out if ductless cooling is right for your situation is to call one of our professionals. But we can give you some help here to help you start thinking about whether you should buy a ductless air conditioner or a standard split air conditioner.

You're Building a New Home: For new home construction, ductless heating, and cooling is definitely one of the best things you can do. Why? Because you don't have to worry about plumbing taking up space! You can design a house without worrying about expanding the space in order to install plumbing to reach the rooms. Ductless mini-split air conditioners cool a home using wall-mounted units that can be installed almost anywhere on an exterior wall. That's all you need - no ductwork required.

You're Remodeling Your House: Not as big a project as new home construction, but when remodeling a house, you may want to consider installing a ductless mini-split heat pump instead of a standard ducted air conditioner. Reason: Same as new home construction. You don't have to worry about finding space for the pipes. You can transform your home the way you want.

You're Adding a Room to Your House: Ductless mini-splits don't have to be an all-or-nothing proposition. You can supplement your standard air conditioner with a ductless cooling system. Adding a new room to your house can affect your current HVAC system. Your old air conditioner may not be able to cool the new space, and adding ducts will throw the ventilation system out of balance. Instead, use a ductless mini-split heat pump to handle increased room cooling (and heating) needs.

You Live in an Older Home with No Plumbing Space: Central air conditioning has only been common in homes since the 1970s. Homes older than this may not have room for plumbing. While you can remodel your home to find a way to install central air ducts, it's easier to simply go with a ductless mini-split system. For professionals, these systems are quick and easy to install.

Someone in Your Home with Asthma and Allergies: One of the advantages of using a ductless system is that there is less air pollution circulating in your home. Ductwork collects a lot of dust, lint, dander, and other debris. When the air conditioner blower is activated, all of these air pollutants are expelled from the vents and into the indoor air. This can make allergy and asthma symptoms worse. However, without ducts, less dust is blown into the air. This could be a significant improvement for asthma and allergy sufferers.
