The indoor blowers connect to the outdoor unit via a conduit and a single outdoor unit can support up to 4 individual blowers. When a blower is turned on, the refrigerant begins to flow, cueing the cooling cycle to begin. The system will operate just as a traditional AC system, accept that the cool air is delivered through a single blower (or as many blowers as are on) instead of ductwork.<\/p>\n<h2>Benefits of a Ductless System<\/h2>\n<p>There are several benefits a ductless AC can offer that are worth considering:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No need for ductwork \u2013 with a ductless AC system, it is possible to offer whole-home cooling without the significant expense of adding ductwork.<\/li>\n<li>Customized comfort \u2013 the individual blowers of a ductless system allow you to cool only what you need to and at the exact temperature you want.<\/li>\n<li>Better energy efficiency \u2013 unlike a ducted system that cools all or nothing, a ductless system allows you to cool only the areas you want cooling, which can save you energy.<\/li>\n<li>Can work with a heat pump \u2013 a ductless system that has heat pump technology can offer your home both heating and cooling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>If a ductless system seems like a fit for your Lake City home, call the experts at Touchstone Heating and Air Inc., today and schedule an appointment for ductless AC services.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring has brought some very warm weather with it this year, and if you are in the market for a new air conditioner, we have a suggestion for you: why not consider the installation of a ductless AC?
