Let\u2019s run through the basics.<\/p>\n<p>A ductless system is a heat pump system that doesn\u2019t rely on ductwork in your home. Since this system is a heat pump, it can both heat and cool your house. Ductless systems use individual air handlers installed throughout your home rather than a centralized heating system. These air handlers work autonomously to provide fine-tuned heating (or cooling) to different spaces in your home.<\/p>\n<h2>The Benefits of a Ductless System<\/h2>\n<p>So here\u2019s why you should go ductless.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cost Effective: <\/strong>The biggest downside to a centralized heating system is the energy loss through the ducts. If you let your duct system get really out of shape, duct losses can account for more than 30% of energy consumption. This is especially true if your ducts are in an unconditioned space like your attic. Since ductless heating is more energy efficient you save on energy and, in turn, your heating bills are much lower.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increased Comfort: <\/strong>Ductless heating can provide you with better comfort. Have a room in your home that always seems to run cold? You can add an air handler here. You don\u2019t have to use ductless heating alone\u2014if you have centralized heating that just isn\u2019t making the cut then you can add ductless heating to the mix. Many of our customers do this here in Staten Island so they can stay warm during the harsh winter temperatures.<\/li>\n<li><strong>High IAQ: <\/strong>Ducts lose energy and they also accumulate lots of dust, dirt, and grime. When they accumulate, these contaminants get stuck in a closed loop cycle, the only way to clean it is to have a professional service your system. A ductless system bypasses these problems and offers a home with higher indoor air quality and less hassle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Easy Installation: <\/strong>If you want to put a centralized heating system in your home, it\u2019s a huge affair. It takes lots of time and effort to install one of these systems in your home. Ductless systems are great because the installation is relatively quick and efficient\u2014it can be done in the span of just a couple days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">If you need great ductless heating services here in Staten Island then be sure to <a href=\"\/contact-us\/service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">contact our amazing team here at Scaran<\/a>.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s why you should install a ductless system in your home here in Staten Island.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[103,126,127,88],"class_list":["post-609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-heating-service","tag-ductless-heating","tag-ductless-mini-split","tag-ductless-systems","tag-staten-island"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/609","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=609"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/609\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":612,"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/609\/revisions\/612"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=609"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=609"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=609"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
