Typically, we hear more about ductless HVAC systems in Europe or Asia. However, they are gradually becoming more popular in the United States, and with good reason. This is less because ductless HVAC systems have anything wrong with them, and more because Americans just don't realize that they're an option. There are two different components to a ductless HVAC system. One is an indoor air-handling unit and the other is an exterior condenser or compressor.

You may not have realized that you could choose this option, but now that you do, why not look further into it? A ductless HVAC system comes with many benefits. Let's look into a few of them below!

1. Save Money

We spend a lot of money on heating and cooling. Typically, heating your home will use more energy and costs more money than any other system in your home. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, this will take up about 42% of your utility bill. A ductless HVAC system is much more efficient than the traditional alternatives, and they can heat and cool homes at a much lower cost than traditional HVAC systems.

2. Smaller Size

Ductless HVAC systems are smaller and more flexible than the alternatives, and can therefore be placed in a variety of different locations. If you want, you can heat and cool a single room with ductless HVAC systems. Therefore, if you want to make an addition to your home, a ductless HVAC system could be an ideal option.

3. Look Better

Often, homeowners prefer the look of a ductless HVAC system, and with good reason. They're often slim, and most are just seven inches wide. They can be hung at any place on a wall, or they could be suspended from the ceiling or mounted into a drop ceiling.

4. Easier On Allergy Sufferers

It's often easier for allergy sufferers to live with a ductless HVAC system. Ductless systems come with air purifying filters, which absorb many of the irritants that cause allergic reactions. They also circulate fresh air throughout the home constantly, making it easier for allergy sufferers to breathe.

While it can be difficult to have a new HVAC system installed, ultimately switching to a ductless HVAC system could benefit you in all of the manners mentioned above, while also providing additional benefits. Consider switching to ductless today!
