Ductless Systems
Here in Maine, we experience a full range of temperatures—from cool summer days to frigid winter nights. At Gammon’s Home Services, we know that having flexible and efficient options for heating and cooling is essential for comfort year-round. One great option is a ductless, or mini split, heating and cooling system. These systems often provide the efficiency and adaptability that traditional systems can’t.
What Is a Ductless Mini Split?
A ductless system is exactly what it sounds like—a heating and cooling system that operates without ductwork. It includes an indoor unit (air handler), an outdoor unit (condenser or compressor), and a small conduit that connects them, housing the power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing, and condensate drain. Since the indoor unit is mounted on a wall or ceiling, this system can be installed almost anywhere in your home. Without ducts to lose energy, ductless mini splits are also highly efficient, helping you save on energy costs.
This intricate system is hidden in your walls, ceilings, and floors, connecting every room in your home. It includes supply and return vents as well as essential components like plenums, dampers, and vibration isolators. Keeping your ducts well-maintained and clean not only extends their lifespan but also reduces energy costs and promotes better indoor air quality for your health and comfort.
Where Can It Be Used?
Ductless systems are perfect for areas in your home that need targeted temperature control, such as:
- Additions, basements, or garages
- Guest rooms or spaces used less frequently
- Rooms with uneven heating or cooling
- Sunrooms you’d like to use year-round
For example, if you’re working in the garage and want it temperature-controlled, a ductless mini split is a great solution. Adding a new room to your home? This system can easily handle the extra space. Our NATE-certified technicians can assess your home and recommend the best placement to maximize your comfort and energy savings.
Benefits of a Ductless Mini Split
- Efficiency: Without ductwork, there’s no energy lost through leaks or poor sealing—savings that can add up to 30%.
- Flexibility: Compact and versatile, these systems can heat or cool specific rooms. One outdoor unit can connect to up to four indoor units, giving you customized zoning control.
- Ease of Installation: With no need for ductwork, installation is simple. The indoor and outdoor units are connected by a small conduit, which typically requires only a three-inch hole in the wall. The outdoor unit can even be placed up to 50 feet away from the indoor unit.
