For decades, central AC has been the dominant cooling option in the US. It’s so dominant, in fact, that many believe it’s the only efficient way to cool a home. Unfortunately, not every home has the ductwork necessary to support central AC. And a central system doesn’t always fit into some homeowners’ home design. In such cases, you should be aware of an alternative. Trust Alps Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. to install a ductless AC in Newport Beach, CA.
A ductless mini-split installation can provide unbeatable efficiency and perfect comfort. A ductless air conditioner can cool anywhere from a single room or space to an entire home. After installing it, we can help with ductless AC maintenance to keep it running at its best for many seasons to come.
Newport Beach Ductless AC Installation
A ductless mini-split is a unique cooling option that may not be familiar to you. They combine a space-saving centralized outdoor unit with one or more wall-mounted air handlers. As a result, you can install a mini-split in virtually any space with minimal disruption. Mini-splits only require a small bundle of refrigerant and electrical lines linking their components. To install one, all you need is a roughly three-inch hole drilled through each wall hosting an air handler. To simplify installation, our team typically tries to place air handlers along exterior walls.
Ease of installation is a primary benefit of a ductless air conditioner. However, it’s not the only benefit. Another is that mini-splits typically offer superior efficiency compared to central AC systems. Their lack of ductwork is a significant reason they increase efficiency. Ducted ACs often waste up to 30% of the energy they consume via ductwork losses. Mini-splits also provide zoned operation by default. That means you don’t waste energy cooling spaces you’re not using and can turn off air handlers as needed.
- Improved indoor air quality
- Excellent installation flexibility
- Great scalability
- Reduced cooling costs
- Even cooling in each space
A mini-split AC installation can even work if you need cooling capacity beyond what your central AC provides. For example, you could use one to cool a garage or a newly finished space like a basement or addition. In that configuration, your mini-split would work independently of your central AC, providing cooling only where needed.
