The ductless system would supply both heating and air conditioning to the new addition
When you aren’t a HVAC technician, choosing a new Air conditioning unit can be a bit daunting. There are many types of AC units on the market, so it can be overwhelming to make the right choice. A ductless AC system may be called a mini-split and it has no ductwork in the ceiling or walls to distribute the air conditioning. A ducted air conditioning unit sends cooled air throughout the house through ductwork that is installed within the walls and ceilings. Ductless air conditioning units send refrigerant to the smaller air handling, or blowers, that are placed in every room. If you have central HVAC in your home, it is best to stick with central air conditioning. However, if you are putting an addition onto your home or planning on putting air conditioning into a garage, there may be things to consider which may have you choosing a ductless HVAC system. The new addition may end up being unable to be hooked up to the existing ductwork. Maybe your HVAC system doesn’t have enough power to be able to reach the newest area of your home. In these cases, using a ductless HVAC system would make sense. You would have an outside unit and an inside unit. The ductless system would supply both heating and air conditioning to the new addition. If you are looking to add air conditioning or heating into your garage and there is no way to put ductwork to that area, once again you may choose to get ductless HVAC. If you are in doubt what to do with the HVAC in these areas, consult your local HVAC technician. They can help you to choose the most efficient and money saving HVAC system for every situation you have.
