Ductless AC Replacement & Installation Services
Our ductless air conditioner installation begins with an evaluation of your home. We perform a load calculation to determine the BTUs you’ll need for effective cooling. In addition, we look at the size of your rooms and the layout of your home.
What other factors influence ductless AC installation?
- Ceiling height
- Insulation type and degree
- Sun exposure
- Number of people living in household
- Heat generating factors (appliances like ovens and clothes dryers)
We’ll use this information to recommend how many indoor air handlers are necessary. Furthermore, we guide you about the best location for each air handler to ensure good airflow and temperature direction. We can also recommend a suitable area for the outdoor compressor, keeping airflow, shade, and accessibility for maintenance in mind.
Once we find the ideal ductless HVAC in San Antonio for you, we mount the air handlers in the rooms you wish to cool. We’ll need to drill a small hole in the wall for the line set, which includes the refrigerant line, drain line, and electrical wiring. We’ll put the outdoor compressor in place and connect it to the air handlers with that line set. Once the job is complete, we do a pressure check to ensure everything is secure and functions properly.
Why Replace Your Ductless AC?
There will be warning signs that let you know when it’s time for a mini-split replacement. Your current one will struggle to keep you cool. You may also notice uneven cooling, which can go hand in hand with weak airflow. Most importantly, you may suddenly be having higher-than-normal energy bills.
You could begin experiencing more obvious problems, too. Your current system may be frequently cycling on and off. It can start making loud noises and cause unpleasant odors. It might even leak or have excessive ice buildup.
What are the benefits of a ductless AC installation?
- Energy efficiency
- Flexible installation
- Quiet operation
- Better indoor air quality
- Year-round comfort
- No ductwork necessary
- Zoning capabilities
- Higher home value
While repairs can take care of many of these issues, you need to consider how much you’re spending on these repairs. Those costs add up, which can make investing in a mini-split replacement the best option.
Most importantly, consider the age of your cooling system. The average mini-split will last up to 15 years or longer. This varies from one mini-split to the next, but we can help you determine when it reaches the end of its lifespan.
