Breathe Easy in Your New Space: Why Ductless AC is Perfect for Home Additions & Renovations

April 10, 2024

At Superior Heating & Cooling, in Helena we understand the joy of expanding your living space. Whether you’re adding a home office, a guest suite, or even a man-cave, a well-climatized environment is key to maximizing your comfort and enjoyment. But when it comes to heating and cooling these new additions, traditional ductwork can pose a significant challenge. That’s where ductless air conditioning systems come in – a breath of fresh air for your renovation or addition project.

Traditional Ductwork Can Be a Headache for Additions

Adding ductwork to an existing HVAC system for a new space can be disruptive and expensive. Here’s why:

  • Disruption: Installing ducts often requires tearing through walls, ceilings, and floors to accommodate the new airflow paths. This can be messy, time-consuming, and damage the aesthetics of your existing home.
  • Cost: The cost of materials and labor for installing new ducts can be significant, adding a hefty sum to your renovation budget.
  • Inefficiency: Existing ductwork can leak conditioned air, wasting energy and driving up your utility bills.

 

Ductless Mini-Splits: A Smarter Solution for Targeted Comfort

Ductless mini-split systems offer a superior alternative for heating and cooling home additions and renovations. Here’s what makes them a winning choice:

  • Targeted Comfort: Ductless systems consist of two main components: an outdoor condenser unit and one or more indoor air handling units mounted on the walls or ceilings of the space you want to cool or heat. This modular design allows for independent temperature control in each zone, ensuring your new addition feels just as comfortable as the rest of your home.
  • Easy Installation: Because they don’t require ductwork, mini-splits can be installed quickly and with minimal disruption. A small conduit connects the indoor and outdoor units, requiring only a small hole in the wall for refrigerant lines and electrical wiring.
  • Space-Saving Design: The sleek indoor units of ductless systems are relatively small and unobtrusive, blending seamlessly into your new space’s design.
  • Year-Round Comfort in Montana: Most ductless systems function as heat pumps, providing both heating and cooling capabilities. This makes them a cost-effective solution for maintaining comfortable temperatures throughout the year.
