These units are small and mounted up on walls. They send conditioned air straight into rooms without the need for an inch of ductwork.<\/p>\n<p>What are the benefit of having a heating and cooling system like that? Quite a few!<!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Ditch Those Window Units<\/h3>\n<p>If you live in an older home\u2014and there are plenty in a place with as long a history as Staten Island, where there are still houses standing built in the 17th century\u2014you probably don\u2019t have space for ductwork. With a ductless system, you no longer have to rely on space-consuming window ACs for your summer cooling! Not only are these window units ugly and underpowered, they can make a home less secure. Ductless mini splits deliver cooling around your house, without having to make any changes to the house.<\/p>\n<h3>Save Energy<\/h3>\n<p>Ductless mini split heat pumps cost less to run than ducted systems.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They use smaller motors to run compared to the blower motors that power central ACs, furnaces, and heat pumps, so they consume less energy in general.<\/li>\n<li>They don\u2019t suffer from heat loss or heat gain that happens along the length of ducts. The system doesn\u2019t have to overcome these temperature changes.<\/li>\n<li>Without ducts, there are no duct leaks that can steal up to 30% of the heated and cooled air moving through the ventilation system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Zone Control\u2014Built Right In!<\/h3>\n<p>We could\u2019ve included this benefit under \u201cSave Energy,\u201d because it does. But that\u2019s one benefit of many from zone control. A comfort system with zone control means that different parts of the house can be heated or cooled separately from the others. Each wall unit in a ductless mini split system can operate independently of the others. You only have to heat\/cool the rooms that need it\u2014saving money, allowing people personal control over their climate, and creating an even spread of temperatures around the house.<\/p>\n<h3>Better Conditions for Allergy and Asthma Sufferers<\/h3>\n<p>If allergies and asthma are problems in your household around the year, a ductless system can help out. Ducts are gathering spots for all kinds of dust, pollen, dander, lint, and other allergens; each time the blower comes on, a concentration of these particles is blasted into the air. Without ducts, this reservoir for allergens goes away\u2014and you have healthier air!<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a <a href=\"\/service-areas\/edison-hvac-plumbing-contractor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">contractor for HVAC in Edison, NJ<\/a>\u2014someone who can take care of not only ductless mini split heat pump services, but all heating and cooling needs\u2014you have come to the right people. Our experience goes back long before the invention of the ductless mini split: we\u2019ve kept up with all changes in technology over 85 years of being in the heating and cooling business.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Scaran\u2014Serving Staten Island and Its Neighbors since 1930.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are the benefit of having a heating and cooling system like a ductless mini split?
