Scarborough Ductless Air Conditioning

While central air conditioning is the most popular type of cooling system for homes and businesses around the Scarborough area, it is not always the best solution. Smaller spaces, new additions, ADUs, finished garages, or even basements are all areas that may need cooling but are not necessarily practical to cool with a central AC system. 

A ductless air conditioner may be the answer to your problem for these applications. Offering efficient and effective cooling in a small but affordable package, a ductless HVAC system is an ideal solution for cooling smaller, individual spaces. Because of their smaller size, they generally use far less electricity than a traditional central cooling system. That makes keeping these spaces cool easy (and means you don’t need to install new ductwork to do it)! At Mersey Heating and Air Conditioning, we’re proud to be the neighbourhood experts in ductless air conditioning services, including repairs, new installations, replacements, and maintenance.

Whether your system needs a tune-up or you’re looking for a new cooling solution, reach out to Mersey Heating and Air Conditioning to schedule service today.

How Ductless HVAC Systems Work

When many people think of a ductless air conditioner, they think of one of two things: a window-mounted cooling unit that’s often loud and requires the constant use of an outlet in your room or an old wall-mounted unit that makes a ton of noise without doing a lot of cooling. Today’s units are far more advanced than their predecessors, offering features like increased efficiency, better temperature control, variable speed motors, humidity control, and run-quiet fans that make it possible for even the lightest of sleepers to remain comfortable.

As their name implies, a ductless air conditioner does not have air ducts to carry air around a property. Instead, they disburse the air they condition directly into the space they are located in. They are typically controlled either by a touch panel on the unit or a remote control, while some models also have the ability to be controlled by an app on your smartphone.

Here are a few other reasons people choose ductless AC systems:

• Low maintenance: Ductless AC systems are easy to maintain and upkeep. With one annual maintenance service, you can enjoy efficient cooling with remarkable reliability.
• Installation flexibility: A ductless AC system can go almost anywhere. In fact, just about any exterior-facing wall is a perfect place to install a unit.
• Affordability: Depending on the size of your unit and the nature of the installation, a single ductless air conditioner unit costs only around 10 to 20 percent of the total cost of a new central AC system, and around 25 percent of the total cost of replacing all of a home’s ductwork.

For mini-split systems, installation can usually be completed in about a day, and generally requires nothing more than a small hole in your wall to allow refrigerant and electrical lines to pass through to your outdoor unit. 

Whole-Home Ductless Air Conditioning

A single ductless air conditioning system cannot cool an entire home. However, several ductless AC units combined together can be a fantastic, energy-efficient alternative to a central AC system. If you live in an older home without built-in air ducts, or you’re looking to cut back on your energy consumption, talk to Mersey Heating and Air Conditioning about replacing your HVAC system with several ductless AC systems.

Many modern ductless AC units offer a range of features that make them incredibly flexible. For example, some can have several indoor units connected to the same outdoor unit, helping to bring costs down and make installation easy. When each room or zone of your home has its own unit, you can set temperatures independently or even restrict use to just the areas of your home you are using. That means less energy consumption and more uniform, customized comfort throughout your home.
