The pros and cons of a ductless HVAC system
There's a new ductless air conditioning technology in town. It can be used in a variety of settings, including residential, commercial, and industrial.
Ductless systems have been around for a while now and have changed the game when it comes to HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning). The main question we get a lot from Cocoa, FL residents is ‘what are the pros and cons of ductless systems compared to traditional systems’.
PROS:
- Because of its modest size and versatility, it's ideal for single rooms or add-ons where ducts aren't available.
- Each zone has its own thermostat for precise temperature control
- More efficient than other types of systems (potentially energy saving)
- Ducts often result in up to 30% energy loss. Going ductless could save you big.
- Improved indoor air quality (no ductwork collecting dirt, grime, etc.)
CONS:
- Higher initial investment for Cocoa Florida properties
- Lower capacity per unit than a major HVAC system
- Some Cocoa residents prefer the unit outside not INSIDE the home
