Demystifying Ductless HVAC Myths
Introduction
As a leading provider of HVAC services in the Barnstable, Dennis, Sandwich, and Yarmouth areas, we at Seaside Gas understand the importance of dispelling myths surrounding ductless HVAC systems. These energy-efficient and versatile systems have gained popularity in recent years, but misconceptions still persist. In this blog post, we’ll debunk some of the most common myths about ductless HVAC systems.
Myth 1: Ductless Systems are Noisy
Many people believe that ductless systems are noisier than traditional HVAC units. However, this is not true. Modern ductless systems are designed to operate quietly, with sound levels often lower than a whisper. The outdoor and indoor units are engineered to minimize noise, ensuring a peaceful living or working environment.
Myth 2: Ductless Systems are Difficult to Install
While ductless systems require professional installation, the process is relatively straightforward and less disruptive than installing traditional ducted systems. The indoor and outdoor units are connected by a small refrigerant line, eliminating the need for extensive ductwork. This makes ductless systems an excellent choice for homes or buildings without existing ductwork or where running new ducts would be challenging.
Myth 3: Ductless Systems are Inefficient
- Ductless systems are highly energy-efficient, thanks to their advanced technology and precise temperature control.
- They eliminate the energy losses associated with traditional ducted systems, where conditioned air can escape through leaks or poorly insulated ducts.
- Many ductless systems are ENERGY STAR® certified, meaning they meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
