Variable-speed technology stands out as a pinnacle of comfort and efficiency with the promise of utility savings and enhanced comfort. However, like any technology, it comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. In this post, Schmitt’s expert technicians will explore both sides to help homeowners make an informed decision.
Gone are the days when you had to stand up and walk over to the thermostat from time to time to manually adjust the temperature. With programmable thermostats and their smart versions that are accessible via Wi-Fi, indoor temperature control becomes much easier and more convenient. But do they really help save money? Local air conditioning repair contractor Schmitt Heating & Air Conditioning sheds light on the matter here.
Many people find that trying to keep their living space comfortable is becoming increasingly challenging. For one thing, there are some homes that have to rely on window air conditioners to provide a little cooling comfort, but these AC systems are typically loud and hard to regulate. Other times, people have central heating and cooling systems, but there are still rooms that get too hot or too cold. Fortunately, ductless split system offer an affordable and effective solution for just about everyone.
Ductless split HVAC systems offer many excellent advantages. For example, they can reduce energy costs; an important factor for any budget conscious homeowner. Ductless systems are more energy efficient than even HVAC equipment that is SEER rated from 13 to 26.
The unique nature of a ductless split HVAC system ensures quiet operation and total comfort control. The split system utilizes an indoor fan coil, which is typically housed in an attractive cabinet. This cabinet can be hung on an exterior wall or even on the ceiling, ensuring it does not take up valuable space. The other component of the ductless system is the condensing unit. This unit is placed outdoors in an out of the way location. Being located outside, helps ensure the ductless split HVAC system will always offer quiet indoor operation.
Another important benefit that many homeowners should consider is the fact that a split system does not rely on traditional ductwork to carry the air that is heated or cooled. Over time, ductwork can accumulate dust, dirt, pollen and other contaminants that are in the air. When the HVAC system is operating, air is pushed through the ducts, carrying those particles out into your home. With the recirculation of irritants and pollutants, many people will notice an increase in health issues, especially those who have respiratory problems.
Quit, safe and convenient comfort, combined with energy efficient operation, makes a ductless split HVAC system a great choice for many homeowners. We can help you find the home comfort solution that is right for you!
