Which ductless system is right for you?
If you’re looking into installing a ductless hvac system in your home in the Greater Toronto Area, there are two styles of ductless HVAC systems to choose from.
Ductless Air Conditioners
Looking for a cool solution without the ductwork hassle? Ductless ACs are your answer! These systems use multiple indoor units connected to a single outdoor condenser to deliver cool air exactly where you need it. Each unit is independently programmable, allowing you to create personalized comfort zones and maximize efficiency.
Ductless Heat Pumps
These all-in-one heroes cool your home in summer and heat it in winter. They work like a regular air conditioner, but can also reverse the process to extract heat from the outdoors and warm your space efficiently. This versatility can significantly reduce your utility bills.
Benefits of Ductless Air Conditioning in Toronto
Ductless air conditioners and heat pumps have several benefits that you couldn’t otherwise get unless you install new ductwork in your home, so we’ve broken them down for you.
Efficiency
Ductless air conditioning is a much more efficient option for Toronto homeowners that are without the necessary ductwork for a forced air system, and even though you’ll be spending less on your monthly utility bills, you’ll still be cool on the hottest days.
No Noise
Ductless air conditioners and heat pumps are extremely quiet, and they also have more intuitive settings so you can have more control over the temperature in your Toronto home.
Easy Installation
Many people are reluctant to put ductless systems in their homes because they think they require an extensive installation process. The reality is, it’s pretty easy because there is no ductwork required.
Increase Home Value
Many prospective buyers are turned off by window units because they’re loud and inefficient, but ductless systems tend to be a selling feature because they’re extremely efficient and offer a high level of home comfort.
More Comfort
Installing a ductless air conditioner or heat pump leads to an increase in overall home comfort due to their inverter technology. These systems can automatically turn up or down their cooling/heating output based on the real-time demands as reported by their constant monitoring of the indoor temperature.
Maintenance Tips for a Ductless Air Conditioner
Ductless air conditioners have a lifespan of about 15-20 years and can be extremely durable and reliable. A way for homeowners to ensure the longevity of their ductless AC is to stay on top of simple maintenance and cleaning tasks throughout the year. These include:
- Dusting the indoor unit
- Ensuring the outdoor unit is free from grass, twigs, and other natural debris
- Giving your indoor and outdoor unit space from clutter to work properly
- Cleaning your system’s air filter when necessary
- Calling for annual preventative maintenance with expert technicians
What are the installation options?
Another benefit of ductless systems is that installation is a breeze. The outdoor units are somewhat standard in terms of their style and makeup, but there are four options to choose from for your indoor ductless unit installation in Toronto:
- Ductless Wall Mounted
- Ductless Ceiling Cassette
- Ductless Floor Mounted
- Ductless Ceiling Concealed
Are Heat Pumps Enough to Heat my Home in Toronto?
For better or for worse, it’s commonly understood that heat pumps are not adequate for a freezing Toronto winter. In the past, this was true, heat pumps did not have the technology to withstand extreme temperatures. However, as time and technology have progressed, so have heat pumps and their ability to serve Toronto homes. Heat pumps today are capable of withstanding weather conditions as low as -30 Celcius (-22 Fahrenheit).
While heat pumps are capable of handling extreme temperatures to a certain degree, it’s understandable that Toronto homeowners may shy away from heat pumps in case of extreme weather lower than -30 Celcius (-22 Fahrenheit). Instead of giving up having a heat pump in your home and all the advantages it brings, you can choose to have emergency supplemental heating in the case of extremely cold weather. A backup heat source like a boiler or electric heating is always a viable option for Toronto residents.
