You can choose from various types of air conditioners to cool your home in Hobe Sound, FL. Two common types of air conditioners in homes without air ducts are ductless AC systems and window units. It can be challenging to decide which one is right for you. Here are four benefits of choosing ductless AC systems over window air conditioning units:
Reduced Noises
Unlike window systems, ductless air conditioners operate quietly. They have an indoor and outdoor unit. The compressor, which is the system’s noisiest component, sits within the outdoor unit, which helps reduce the amount of noise inside your home.
Because a window unit sits inside the home, you’ll hear the humming sound it creates. The noise can increase in volume with larger systems. Some are as loud as 82 decibels, equivalent to a vacuum cleaner or lawn mower.
Zoning Capabilities
Ductless AC systems can have several indoor units so that you can have one for each room or zone. You can control these units independently to have the desired temperatures for each room. This also contributes to energy savings because you don’t have to cool spaces not in use.
Window air conditioners cool one room at a time. You must purchase and install a system for independent temperature control for each room.
Longer Lifespan
With professional maintenance, ductless AC systems can serve you for up to 20 years. Window air conditioners have an average lifespan of eight to 10 years.
Aesthetic Appeal
Ductless air conditioners have a compact design, and you can have your indoor unit installed at a discreet location to avoid interference with your indoor décor. This is unlike bulky window units, which block your view of the outdoors. They also reduce the amount of natural light flowing into your home.
A ductless air conditioner is the ideal choice for your new room addition, studio apartment or similar living space. They have several benefits over window systems. Contact North County Cooling Inc. when you need to install a ductless AC system in your Hobe Sound, FL, home.
