Providing Efficient Ductless Air Conditioning In San Antonio

For decades, the standard single-split AC unit was the go-to technology for providing homes with central heating and air. While reliable, these systems do come with their drawbacks, mainly in terms of efficiency.

While traditional air conditioning undoubtedly still has its place in the industry, and the professionals here at Bravo Heating and Air Conditioning are more than happy to install and work on them — we’re also proud to offer our customers a chance to upgrade their HVAC experience with a ductless mini-split cooling systems.

Ductless AC systems offer an energy-efficient alternative to the traditional single-split system that could save homeowners on both maintenance and utility bills. To help our customers feel confident about a San Antonio mini-split AC installation, we’ve put together this brief rundown on a few of its key advantages.

How Does A Ductless HVAC System Work?

Mini-split systems function using many of the same principles as single-split units, but they achieve the same goal using slightly different equipment.

Traditional units cool air using the thermal conductive properties of a chemical refrigerant, and then use a centralized air handler to distribute this cooled air throughout the home using a system of ductwork.

Mini-split systems utilize the same properties of this chemical refrigerant. However, instead of relying on ducts to provide a pathway for conditioned air to travel between an air handler and the rooms of your home, a ductless system separates the structure into “zones.” You can install one or more individual air handlers to provide conditioned air directly into each area.

What Are The Advantages Of San Antonio Ductless AC?

Even though both mini-split and traditional systems operate using similar base techniques, the removal of ductwork and the utilization of air handlers allow for an efficient and variable system.

It has been proven that ductwork can account for up to 30 percent of a system’s efficiency loss. The removal of it entirely allows for a number of benefits.

Lower Utility Bills And Maintenance Requirements

Because ductwork represents such a large point of efficiency loss, removing it can create a system that is more efficient. The increased efficiency can directly translate into lower utility bills.

Additionally, It’s recommended that you have your ductwork cleaned and serviced once every 3–5 years. Investing in ductless AC removes this maintenance cost, saving you money.

Zoned Heating And Cooling

One of the biggest advantages of switching to a mini-split system is the ability to independently control the temperature at each zone of your home. This operation means temperatures can be catered to the needs and requirements of the people in each area.

Lower Space Consumption

Another advantage of the removal of ductwork is the space gained in its removal. Even though ductwork tends to exist in the attics and crawl spaces of our homes, this is space that can be used for storage and other practical purposes.

Best Uses Of San Antonio Ductless Air Conditioners

Mini-split air conditioning is an efficient addition for many San Antonio homes. There are many opportunities for its utilization. Understanding its capabilities can help you determine if adding this unit to your space is an effective comfort decision.

A few areas in your home that can benefit from air handler installation include:

  • Office spaces
  • Mother-in-law suites
  • Sun rooms
  • Workshops
  • Game rooms
  • Pool houses
  • Spare bedrooms

This technology is especially effective for multi-story homes where it’s hotter upstairs than it is downstairs. Since heat rises, San Antonio summertimes can take a detrimental toll on the comfort of upper floors. Installing air handling units provide direct conditioned air to these spaces, ensuring room additions and areas with inadequate airflow remain comfortable year-round.
