But here's the thing: many of us are a little puzzled when selecting a new heater because there are many fantastic alternatives to consider!

You're in luck because we're going to tell you all about one of our favorite heating systems available today (Hint: it's a ductless system!) Keep reading to learn more, and don't forget to call our team if you ever need heating system installation in Hillsboro, Oregon.

What is a ductless system?

A ductless system, also called a ductless mini-split, is a heat pump that doesn't need a network of ducts to move air around a building. Instead, it uses a single condenser unit outside and several air handlers inside to keep your home at a comfortable temperature all year.

A ductless system transfers heat much like a conventional air conditioner. The reversing valve in a ductless system differentiates it from a conventional air conditioner. Reversing the refrigerant flow is all it takes to move from cooling to heating mode.

How is a ductless system best for your house?

There are numerous reasons to adopt a ductless system for your house, including:

1. Versatility

The adaptability of a ductless system is probably its most incredible feature. To keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter, the system can easily switch from "cooling mode" to "heating mode" with the flick of a switch.

2. Convenience

Depending on the design of your home, installing ducting can be arduous and pricey. You can use a ducting system if your home doesn't have enough room for ductwork. A system without ducts can be put in for less money, with less mess, and in as little as one day.


3. Cost

The hassle of maintaining two separate air conditioners is unnecessary. You will no longer have to fix, maintain, and replace a heater and an air conditioner when you go ductless.


4. Efficiency

Ductless HVAC systems don't have to deal with the energy waste from duct leaks because they don't rely on a duct system. More than 30% of the energy a forced-air system uses is lost if there is a leak in the ductwork. You may save your energy costs significantly by using a ductless system.

What are you waiting for?

Get in touch with an expert if ductless HVAC installation is something you're considering for your house. Don't try to DIY your next heating system; only a trained specialist has the skills and knowledge to find you the perfect fit. You shouldn't gamble with your comfort or finances, so it's best to hire an expert if you want the task done properly.
