Maybe you\u2019ve got some serious concerns about your HVAC system. Maybe you just know your heater, your air conditioner, or both are getting old and won\u2019t last much longer. Or maybe your main concern is that you\u2019re trying to make your home more energy-efficient. Either way, you\u2019ve heard about ductless systems, and you\u2019ve got some questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although forced-air HVAC systems using ductwork is the most common type of system, the fact that something is familiar to us doesn\u2019t necessarily mean it\u2019s the best choice. Sometimes there are great reasons to go with a different approach. Ductless systems offer some big benefits that you should consider. We\u2019ll tell you all about them, and you just might find ductless is the best choice for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

No Need for Ducts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Older homes\u2014and there are plenty of those in our area\u2014might not have ducts at all. They weren\u2019t standard-issue in new construction until the 1970s, when the new popularity of central air conditioners made ductwork necessary. Now, ductwork can be added, of course, and in many older homes that has already been done. But if it hasn\u2019t, a ductless system is an obvious choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it might be ideal for homes with ducts, too. Here\u2019s the thing about ductwork\u2014and, if we\u2019re honest, about everything. Nothing lasts forever. What if your home was built with ductwork, but it\u2019s been there for decades, slowly deteriorating? What if something has happened to cause damage to your ductwork? Renovation mishaps or nibbling rodents can happen at any time. A ductless system could be less costly than replacing ductwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Duct Leaks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s entirely possible that your ductwork is deteriorating or damaged and you simply don\u2019t know it. Much of the time, ducts are installed in out-of-the-way places where you can\u2019t see that something is wrong. But even minor holes, tears, or cracks can lead to two major problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
