Some people wonder how ductless heating in Lake City works; not only are the systems ductless, but they offer both heating and cooling, making them 2-in-1 devices. We\u2019ll explain the components and how the system works in more detail below. For all of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.touchstoneheatingonline.com\/heating\" target=\"_blank\">heating<\/a> needs, call the people you can trust: Touchstone Heating and Air Inc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Components of a Ductless System<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here are main components of a ductless system:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Outdoor unit \u2013 contains the compressor and condenser<\/li>\n<li>Indoor blowers \u2013 small blowers, about 35\u201d long, that operate independently of one another<\/li>\n<li>Conduit \u2013 the indoor blowers and outdoor unit are connected by a conduit drilled into an exterior wall; this conduit holds the power cord, condensate drain line, and the refrigerant line<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>How Does the System Work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you turn on an indoor blower, the refrigerant begins to flow and the heating or cooling cycle begins. A small coil and fan reside inside each indoor blower, allowing the system to heat and cool your home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How Does the System Heat?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ductless systems that heat your home can do so because of heat pump technology. Heat pumps are equipped with a component called a reversing valve that can change the direction of the refrigerant flow. This allows the heat pump to change modes between heating and cooling. Inside your home, a dual-mode <a href=\"https:\/\/www.touchstoneheatingonline.com\/heating\/thermostat\" target=\"_blank\">thermostat<\/a> controls what mode the heat pump is in; when you need to change modes, you simply press the button and the heat pump does the rest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Are the Benefits of a Ductless Heating System?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Zoned heating \u2013 each blower operates independently of the others, allowing for customization of your heating.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Energy Efficiency \u2013 with a ductless system, you only use the heating you need, which helps save energy. In addition, not having to use ductwork means there is no chance of air loss due to faulty ductwork.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Limited Space\/Expansion \u2013 whether your home has limited space or you are looking at expanding, a ductless system has the flexibility to handle both scenarios. The air blower for a ductless air conditioner is quite small and is typically placed flush against a wall or mounted to a ceiling; if you are expanding your property, adding an additional air blower to the space is not a difficult task as long as there is an outdoor unit to support it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>To find out if ductless heating in Lake City is a good fit for your home, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.touchstoneheatingonline.com\/contact\/contact\" target=\"_blank\">call Touchstone Heating and Air Inc.<\/a>, today and schedule an appointment with one of our experts.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ductless systems have become very popular with homeowners, offering both cooling and heating to homes.
