A [ductless air condition](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/rodenhiser-blog/ductless-mini-split-technology-keeps-making-major-strides.html)ing system is an option to consider. It is a flexible, affordable alternative to ducted central A/C or window units. The benefits of ductless air conditioning show why it is a serious contender for keeping your space cool. ### Some Essential Benefits of Ductless A/C \[caption id="attachment\_2785" align="alignright" width="300"\][![ductless air conditioning](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/ductless-air-conditioning-e1432732274151-300x225.jpg)](http://www.istockphoto.com/photo/serviceman-2846891?st=c25a684) Source: iStock.com/Digiphoto\[/caption\] Let's look at some benefits you get from going ductless: - **Easy installation** - This happens because there are no ducts to run. Using a two-man crew, a typical central A/C system can take up to a week to install. All the ductwork needs to be run, the air handler installed in the attic or closet, and the outside compressor set. A [ductless mini-split](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/rodenhiser-blog/ductless-mini-split-installation.html) usually takes a day or less for complete installation. - **Small footprint** - The external compressor for a ductless mini-split is only a fraction of the size of the compressor for central A/C. The interior unit is even more petite. A regular central air system requires a large air handler installed into the attic or a closet. A ductless system uses air handlers that hang on the wall. - **Very efficient** - A [ductless mini-split](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/rodenhiser-blog/ductless-mini-split.html) typically uses far less energy than a typical central air system. Plus, because there are air handlers in individual rooms, it is possible to control temperatures in each room, making the system even more efficient. - **Remote control operation** - Every air handler has its own remote control. This makes it possible to control the exact temperature within a room without running out to the central thermostat all the time. The room's occupants can control the temperature from the bed, the couch, or even the water closet. - **Very quiet** - Many A/C systems make a ton of noise while keeping your home cool. A ductless system is built for residential quiet. At most, the occupants hear a low hum. If you need an efficient, affordable way to cool your space, consider the benefits of ductless air conditioning.
