If you don’t have air ducts in your Abbeville, LA, home, you don’t have to resort to a window air conditioner. A ductless air conditioner offers benefits that you can’t get with a window unit. Let’s look at four benefits of having a ductless AC system.
Less Noise
A ductless air conditioner makes much less noise than a window unit. One reason is that the compressor and condenser sit outside the home. It’s also because ductless designers purposely designed them to produce minimal sound.
A typical ductless air conditioner makes around 20 to 30 decibels of sound. That’s the equivalent of leaves rustling or a whisper. A typical window unit is louder, measuring between 50 and 60 decibels.
Almost Theft Proof
It’s unlikely that anyone will steal your ductless air conditioner. But you can’t say the same about a window air conditioner.
One person can remove a window unit and carry it away. The thief can get money for the copper and scrap metal that the air conditioner provides. It’s not impossible to steal a ductless air conditioner, but it’s less likely to happen.
Keep Your View
A ductless air conditioner leaves the windows free to provide natural light, ventilation and an emergency exit. A window unit is the opposite, as it must block the window to work.
If you want to maintain window space, a ductless air conditioner is worth considering. Also, take into account that a ductless AC system generally requires less maintenance.
Energy Efficient
A ductless air conditioner is more energy-efficient than a window unit. One reason is because a ductless AC system can adjust its power usage to fit your cooling needs in the moment.
A ductless air conditioner is generally a better choice than a window unit. But that all depends on your specific situation. Contact Desormeaux’s Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc to learn about our ductless AC services.
