Top Applications for Ductless Air Conditioning

Ductless air conditioning is perfect for a wide variety of uses. We go over several of them below and how you can get a personalized quote for a ductless system designed to fit your needs.

Attics

If you’re converting your attic to a living space or storing delicate items, ductless air conditioning can give you targeted cooling and humidity control without having to connect the system to your existing ductwork.

Basements

Ductless AC is an ideal solution for basements with limited access to ductwork and ventilation. Not only do mini-splits offer superior cooling power, they also function as a dehumidifier. This helps control the humidity in your basement and reduces the damp, sticky feeling of the air inside it. Plus, mold and mildew will have a more difficult time spreading in a drier environment, so there will be fewer musty odors.

Sunrooms

Sunrooms are designed for maximum light exposure, but with this comes extra heat that can make your bright, beautiful space feel sweaty and uncomfortable. By installing a mini-split AC, you can keep your sunroom at a consistent temperature all year long, allowing you to enjoy natural light in your home whenever you want.

Additionally, ductless air conditioners also function as heaters during the winter, so you won’t have to worry about how to keep your sunroom warm when it gets chilly out.

Offices

If you have a home office or workspace that you need to keep cool, mini-split air conditioning offers flexible and energy-efficient comfort when it’s hot outside. These sophisticated systems have dozens of features that make them perfect for an office environment, like adjustable louvers, thermal room scanning, and remote control operation.

Garages

Do you work in your garage in the summertime or just want to keep your car cool so it’s not blazing hot when you open the door in the morning? Air conditioning is a must. That said, how you install AC in your garage matters.

If you connect your garage to your home’s main ducts, you could end up pumping exhaust from your car into different rooms of your house. Ductless can prevent this by eliminating the need for ducts and keeping your garage climate entirely separate from the rest of your home.

Other Home Additions

Ductless air conditioning is a great fit for any addition where it’s expensive or impractical to connect to the home’s main duct system. Whether you’re adding another bedroom or a flex space that can be used for multiple purposes, ductless technology allows you to customize your comfort for less than the cost of operating a central or window air conditioner.

Restaurants

Ductless AC allows restaurant owners to keep patrons and staff cool even with high kitchen temperatures from hot ovens and stovetops. If you own or manage a restaurant with ductless, you can also create multiple temperature zones with separate units if you want to control different areas of the restaurant individually. For example, a mini-split system with three indoor units could keep your kitchen and each side of your dining room at its own temperature.

Gyms

Ductless air conditioning is a great way to stay cool when working out at both home and commercial gyms. While climate control might not seem like a big issue for exercise rooms, keeping the space breezy can help reduce discomfort and increase stamina during physical activity.

Retail Stores

Not only do retail establishments need to keep customers comfortable while browsing merchandise, they need to keep supplies in good condition before they hit the shelves. This is especially true for perishables and clothing items.

For example, climate control for a candy store can keep products from going stale and reduce waste-related losses. Patrons are also more likely to stay and shop when it’s hot out and stores are cool.

Computer Rooms

Climate control is also crucial for computer rooms and data centers where electronics generate heat that could cause them to malfunction. Not only do IT spaces require more cooling than the average commercial building, they also need less humidity and dust. A mini-split air conditioner lets you control all of the above to keep sensitive components clean and cool. This helps avoid downtime due to overheating and extends the lifespan of your computer equipment.
