Purchasing resources for Ductless Air Conditioners

Ductless air conditioners are becoming more popular, in part because they take up much less space. This extra space is then freed up for other hardware, like electrical units. You can transition from an air conditioning system with a lot of duct work to using a ductless split air conditioning system. These systems allow you to control the air conditioning in specific areas of any building, and will take up a lot less space without duct work in the walls and ceilings.

As many more commercial and residential properties choose to install these units, the pricing and costs of ductless air conditioners is often more affordable than traditional central air. To choose the right model for your property, consider the following:

1. The size of the room or area that needs air conditioning.

2. The advantages of a system with a single zone versus multiple zones.

3. The availability of a professional who can service a ductless air conditioner.

Choose a ductless AC system that has a single zone

A single zone ductless AC system consists of one outdoor component and one indoor component. This type of system can also be found as a single unit placed outside. A single zone ductless AC unit is made for the areas you need to cool, but are smaller in size. This is the least expensive type of ductless air conditioner on the market, with prices ranging anywhere from $800 to $1500 and up.

Consider ductless central air conditioners with multiple zones for larger spaces

A ductless central air conditioner with multiple zones works exactly the same as a single zone ductless air conditioner. The only difference is that multiple units are placed inside the building to cool larger spaces. The system will cost more than a single zone, depending on the number of zones you need. A dual zone unit costs upwards of $2,000, while a triple zone runs between $3,000 and $4,000.

Go with ductless air conditioner providers that offer warranties

A ductless split air conditioner is a great product; but as with all major appliances, you should get a warranty to cover the product for at least the first year after your purchase. This will save on repair costs for the unit and replacement costs for faulty parts. Generally, air conditioner systems provide five or 10 year warranties on parts, and at least one year on labor. Many companies will also be able to offer warranty extensions if you want, for an additional price.

• Choose the correct size for your ductless AC. Make sure the model you choose is not too small for the space, otherwise it will be difficult to keep the area cool, especially in warmer climates. On the other hand, you could waste a lot of money in energy costs if you buy a unit that is too large for your space.
