How Do Ductless Air Handlers Keep Your Space Cool?

A ducted air handler is a type of air conditioner that extracts heat from inside a space and expels it outdoors, which creates a cooling effect. When your system is installed, one or more air handlers are put inside your ducts and connected to an outdoor condenser. Even though this puts your air conditioning out of sight, the controls are still easy to reach and use.

Not only does this system use a lot less energy than other kinds of air conditioners, it also works faster and keeps your indoor temperatures from fluctuating as much. This lets you stay cool for less during Boston’s unexpected heat waves.

 

Top Advantages of Ducted AC Systems

A ducted air handler can be a smart purchase for home and business owners who need:

Consistent Cooling

Unlike window units or portable ACs that only cool a single space, ducted systems deliver consistent cooling throughout multiple rooms. This keeps temperatures steady, even in multi-level homes or large commercial buildings. With a ducted system, there are no hot spots and no need to continually adjust settings from room to room.

Air Conditioning and Heating in One

Unlike window ACs and central air conditioners, a ducted heat pump can also keep your space warm during the winter. You don’t need separate heating and cooling units, which makes it a lot easier to stay comfortable and keep your system well-maintained.

Better Indoor Air Quality

When you need superior air quality indoors, you can trust a ducted heat pump to do the job right. These units utilize advanced filtration to remove dust, pollen, pet dander, and other allergens before they circulate through your space. This is a major benefit for households with allergy sufferers or businesses with sensitive equipment.

Lower Summer AC Bills

Because a ducted air handler only moves heat out of your home, it requires much less energy to operate than other forms of cooling. Many models offer advanced features like variable speed compressors and programmable thermostats to further maximize efficiency.

How is a ducted AC different from a ductless mini-split?

Ducted and ductless air conditioners both use the same cooling technology with one major difference—ducted ACs are mounted inside your ductwork, while ductless units function without ducts as their name implies. With a ducted system, you can cool multiple rooms with one unit. A ductless system, on the other hand, requires each temperature zone you want to have its own individual unit.

Is a ducted air handler loud?

No, ducted air handlers are some of the quietest units currently on the market today. This makes them ideal for spaces where low noise levels are a priority, including home offices, nurseries, libraries, and medical facilities.

Will installing a ducted system require major renovations?

This depends on your current setup. If you already have ductwork, installing a ducted system is typically straightforward and minimally invasive. If your home does not have ducts, adding them may require some construction work, like opening walls or ceilings to run duct lines.
