At Cubby Oil & Energy, we’re honored to have served families in the greater Boston area for 80 years. Generations have counted on our team for a wide range of home comfort services. Indeed, we’ve become the most trusted air conditioning provider in this region, offering home cooling products to match just about any kind of home.
So many of the houses in our service region have no ductwork, which is a requirement for central A/C. When we talk to homeowners about their cooling options, many mistakenly believe that no ducts equal no options besides window A/C units, which tend to be loud, unattractive and ineffective. The truth is another matter. Ductless mini-splits offer energy efficiency, dependable cooling and so much more.
In this post, we’ll discuss five considerable benefits of ductless A/C.
Ductless mini-split systems consist of an outdoor unit and one or several indoor air handlers that connect to the outdoor equipment with thin cables. That means that the installation process for ductless A/C tends to be relatively quick and unobtrusive. It typically involves only drilling to mount equipment and run cables through walls. In fact, the Cubby team can often complete a ductless A/C installation in a single day!
If you’re sick of bulky window units blocking your sunlight and jutting out of your home, then ductless A/C offers a welcome improvement. The mini-split equipment we sell and install is compact and sleek. Our team will work closely with you to develop a setup that uses the minimum amount of air handlers strategically positioned for optimal coverage. This will ensure a discrete setup and the best value for your money.
Plus, today’s ductless systems run whisper-quiet. You won’t have to crank up the volume on your TV to hear it over your HVAC system.
Ductless A/C systems are highly efficient, offering targeted cooling for specific areas of your home, which helps save energy and reduce costs by focusing only on spaces in use. Unlike traditional systems, they eliminate the energy losses associated with ductwork, improving overall efficiency by up to 30%.
Additionally, many of the ductless systems we install also provide heating functionality. That means you can use them as your main heating option in the fall and early winter while using your oil-fired heating equipment when it gets really cold outside.
Investing in ductless mini-splits means getting high-performance A/C for the long haul. If you properly maintain your ductless cooling equipment, it can run reliably for 20 years or more before needing to be replaced.
Another considerable advantage of installing high-efficiency ductless A/C is that many of these systems are eligible for cost-saving rebates from Mass Save and potentially also tax incentives. These options can significantly defray the upfront costs of your home cooling upgrade. At Cubby Oil & Energy, our team will work diligently to identify all possible financial incentives to save you money.
