Size can be deceiving, and when it comes to ductless cooling, it may appear, based on the size of the indoor blowers, that a ductless system canb�t cool your entire home as you need it to. This simply isnb�t true. Not only can the system provide you with whole home air conditioning, it can provide other benefits as well, as web�ll discuss in more detail below. Understanding how a ductless AC can effectively cool your home in Asheville, NC, is dependent on understanding, in a basic way, how the system works.
How Does a Ductless System Cool?
A ductless system uses just about the same outdoor unit as a traditional split system; the difference is that the outdoor unit connects directly to the indoor blowers by a conduit placed in an exterior wall. The indoor blowers (a single outdoor unit can support up to 4 of them) are mounted to walls or ceilings. The conduit between the blowers and the outdoor unit contains a power cord, refrigerant line and condensate line. Once the blowers are connected to the outdoor unit, the cooling process can begin by turning on a single blower.
Covering Your Living Space
Just as you have to size traditional split system ACs, you have to do the same with a ductless system. Your trained technician can calculate your cooling load, and then determine what size outdoor unit and how many blowers youb�ll need to effectively cool your home.
Why Consider a Ductless System?
There are a few reasons why you may want to consider a ductless system:
- Customized cooling b� the individual blowers allow you to customize your cooling throughout home because they operate independently of one another.
- No need for costly ductwork b� a ductless system allows you to have whole home cooling without needing costly ductwork.
