\"ductless-system-with-technician\"We offer services for a wide range of types of air conditioning in Houston, TX<\/a>. For example, we install and service ductless mini split systems, which offer houses both cooling and heating without the need for an inch of ductwork.<\/p>\n

One of the best reasons to have a ductless AC installed is because you live in an older house that wasn\u2019t originally constructed for central cooling and has no ductwork to hook a split system air conditioner to. If you\u2019re planning to build a house and don\u2019t want to deal with pesky ducts, you can design with a ductless system in mind.<\/p>\n

Ductless Can Work in a Home With a Central Ducted System<\/h2>\n

\u201cBut I don\u2019t fit either category,\u201d you say. \u201cMy house already has ductwork in it for a central AC and heater. I\u2019m not building an entirely new house. Is there any reason to consider a ductless system?\u201d<\/p>\n

Yes!<\/em> Something people may not know about ductless mini splits is they can be used as an adjunct to a comfort system, not as the only system for a house. Going ductless isn\u2019t an all-or-nothing proposition. You may have a situation where adding a ductless mini split to your house that\u2019s already equipped with a central AC is useful.<\/p>\n

The Room Addition<\/h2>\n

The first situation where going ductless can help a home with central heating and cooling is for room additions. If you\u2019re planning to expand your house with a new bedroom, office, den, or other extension, you\u2019ll face a dilemma with how to heat and cool it. Adding ductwork from the current ventilation system isn\u2019t easy. The AC and heater already installed were not sized to take on the extra living space. Extending the ducts will also drop air pressure through the ventilation system. You could<\/em> have an entirely new AC and furnace installed. Or you could have a ductless mini split installed for the new room and not have to touch the rest of the HVAC system at all! It\u2019s better than a window AC: it won\u2019t block a window and it offers heating and cooling.<\/p>\n

The Room Repurpose<\/h2>\n

You want to change the garage or attic to a living space; it\u2019s an affordable way to expand your house without a full room addition. But neither of these rooms is attached to the HVAC system because they don\u2019t require temperature control. As with the room addition, you can make it easy with a ductless mini split to have heating and cooling without affecting the rest of the ventilation system.<\/p>\n

Hitting Those Hard-to-Cool-and-Heat Spots<\/h2>\n

Do you have a house where certain rooms never receive the level of comfort as the rest of the house? Such as a bedroom that always seems to be 10\u00b0F hotter in summer, no matter what? This is common, and one of the best fixes is to use a ductless system to apply the necessary power for cooling and heating. Since a single ductless system can have up to four wall units, you can tackle several different hot and cold spots with a single installation.<\/p>\n
