You may have heard of the term ductless heating and cooling, and probably have seen the units inside homes and businesses.  What are the benefits of adding a ductless system?

1. Installation is a breeze!  While your traditional duct systems can take a lot of time to install – the ductless systems can be installed quickly without much disruption in the living spaces.
2. High Efficiency = Lower Operational Costs.  With old inefficient systems, monthly bills can climb tremendously. Ductless systems operate on less power and create zone heating and cooling – in the rooms you use most!
3. Improved Indoor Air Quality.  Ductless heating and cooling systems come equipped with multi-stage filtration that works to eliminate dust, allergens and other bacteria in the air. Your traditional HVAC requires ducts that need to be cleaned regularly.
4. Flexible Solutions.  The beautiful part of ductless systems, also known as mini-splits, is the ability to add them in locations where traditional forced heat and air is not able to reach. The unit simply needs a place to be mounted with electricity close by. The outdoor condenser can be mounted or set on the ground. You now have the ability to control temperature to your desired degree!

Ductless Heating and Cooling systems are perfect for those cold rooms above your garage, converted 3 seasons porches, or any single room you would like to keep a consistent temperature. There are single-zone and multi-zone options. Stop in and let us help you decide which unit is best for your needs!

Do you have a room that is always too hot or too cold? Mitsubishi Electric has a Zoned Comfort System that will fit your unique needs. Ductless Heating and Cooling is the way to go!  Whether you are building new or remodeling, a ductless “mini split” system may be perfect for you.

How does Ductless Heating and Cooling work?

Ductless Heating and Cooling systems are reversible, two-way heat pumps that simply take heat energy from one place and move it to another by compressing and expanding refrigerant. The outdoor portion of the unit connects to the indoor unit by a small bundle of cables, including a refrigerant line. This unit is placed outside the home on ground level. The Indoor portion is mounted on a centrally located wall. One ductless system is generally enough to heat and cool an average-sized home.

Use the remote control to adjust the settings for maximum efficiency, comfort and control.

 Single- Zone or Multi-Zone?

• Single-Zone: Ductless is a perfect solution for homes with problem rooms that just never feel comfortable. You know, a great room with a high ceiling, or large glass exposure. A sun room or addition. Even a converted attic, or a remodeled room over a garage. Ductless systems allow you to pinpoint the area of your home you want to condition, which always takes some of the load off your existing HVAC system, saving you money.
• Multi-Zone: With a ductless system it’s easy to choose exactly how much you want to heat or cool each room or zone of your home to accommodate your family’s preferences and lifestyle. With a ductless solution from Colony Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning, you can eliminate energy use in the rooms you’re not using, or design a climate in your home based on the factors that make you and your home unique.

Is a Mitsubishi Ductless Heating and Cooling System right for you? Mitsubishi is a well-known brand, inside and out of the Heating and Cooling world. Using innovative technology, Mitsubishi delivers comfort solutions designed to enhance user lifestyle indoors.

Mitsubishi Ductless heating systems offer personalized comfort without compromise in other areas of the home.

Their ability to zone and cut duct energy loss makes Mitsubishi heating system up to 40 percent more efficient than forced air heating systems. There are a variety of different indoor units that can be added to rooms in the multi-zone system. When using one branch box (to branch different vents off the main heat pump), you are able to have five units (or vents) in your home. When using two branch boxes, you are able to achieve eight units (or vents).

Each room (zone) operates independently with its own wireless or wired remote control, so people in different rooms can choose the temperature that makes them most comfortable.
