Renovating your home? Now is the perfect time to upgrade your heating and cooling system. If you’re living in an older house with an inefficient HVAC system or clogged ductwork, consider installing one without ducts. Ductless heating and cooling systems are efficient and offer a number of benefits. Here, the team at Chesterfield Electric & HVAC in Crosswicks, NJ, explains why you should upgrade your HVAC system while you’re renovating your home.

Why a Home Renovation Is the Perfect Time to Get a Ductless Heating & Cooling System

1. Easy Installation

A professional HVAC contractor can install a ductless system in one or two days, depending on the job. There is no ductwork or venting to deal with, so the process is hassle-free. The installation process involves drilling an inconspicuous hole in the wall to connect a pipe between the indoor ductless unit and the outdoor compressor.

2. Supplemental Heating & Cooling

Your current HVAC system may be working well, but perhaps you’re adding on a room or finishing a basement that is lacking adequate ductwork. A ductless system will be beneficial in spaces where it would be too cost prohibitive to install ducts. Additionally, supplemental heating and cooling may be needed in the renovated room.

3. Maintenance Is Easy

Ductless HVAC systems require less maintenance than traditional heating and cooling systems. The air filter will need to be cleaned periodically, and an annual tuneup is necessary. The contractor will check the electrical connections and clean the humidifiers and air vents to ensure the system continues to work properly for years.

4. Energy Efficiency

Ductless AC and heating don’t consume as much energy as traditional forced-air units. They allow you to control the temperature in each room for added energy efficiency. This will translate into big savings on your utility bills and provide an upgrade that will be attractive to buyers should you decide to sell your newly renovated home.
