Also known as ductless mini-splits or ductless heat pumps, ductless HVAC systems are a type of central heating and cooling system. As the name suggests, a ductless HVAC system does not use ducts and is installed directly onto the walls of a home.
Unlike window-mounted systems, ductless systems need small holes to be drilled into the wall and are less vulnerable to air leakage while also being less noisy and visible.
The HVAC system is one of the most important inventions of modern times. Your HVAC system works round the year to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. In addition to heating and cooling your home, your system plays a vital role in maintaining the indoor air quality.
Like all other equipment, your HVAC system requires periodic maintenance. Regular maintenance minimizes problems and maximizes efficiency. A well-maintained system is more reliable than a poorly maintained one. That said, even a well-maintained system can develop problems and stop working.
If your HVAC system is on its last legs or damaged beyond repair, it makes sense to replace it. In addition to using more energy than usual, an old, malfunctioning HVAC system can pose safety hazards.
For instance, if your system has a cracked heat exchanger, the poisonous gases that get burned off, including carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrous oxide, could leak into your home, causing a variety of minor and serious health issues.
Winter is almost here. When the temperatures drop, most families use their heating systems to maintain a cozy, comfortable home. When electricity consumption increases in winter, your electricity bills will rise too.
While a slight spike in your energy usage is normal, exorbitant electricity bills are a matter of concern.
Often, homeowners unknowingly commit mistakes when using their heating systems. These mistakes do not just hurt HVAC efficiency, but can cause premature wear.

When temperatures drop, your heating system becomes your saving grace. It works around the clock to maintain a comfortable home temperature. Like everything else, a heating system can develop problems if not properly maintained.
A malfunctioning heating system is a great inconvenience. If you’ve ever returned home to a faulty furnace on a chilly winter night or woke up to a malfunctioning heat pump in the dead of the night, you know exactly what we’re talking about.
