If you have an older home, you might have resigned yourself to living without the comforts of central air conditioning. A new technology called high-velocity air conditioning can be added to almost any home – even those without existing ductwork for air conditioning .Ductless air conditioners are ideal for homes without ducts
Mini-Spit air
Also known as “mini-duct” systems, high-velocity air conditioning uses a
typical outdoor compressor to cool the air, combined with a high-pressure
blower Usually mounted in the attic for air conditioning to drop down to cool
your living areas. But instead of bulky metal ductwork, this technology uses
flexible tubing only two inches in diameter. The insulated tubes can be
threaded behind walls or inside closets without damaging sheetrock or plaster.
Most home owners prefer this method because the contractors does all work
in the attic thus not disturbing any of the finished ceilings, and structure
of the home. In the early sixties many of the homes in Mississauga Etobicoke
Oakville Burlington Toronto and GTA used electric baseboard heating and hot
water boilers for their source of heat. You need for duct work to have forced
central air conditioning . Hence the name ductless.
And instead of large metal registers, you’ll have a two-inch vent in the
ceiling on high on a wall that’s nearly invisible when painted. The system is
much quieter than air conditioning through traditional metal ductwork.
A mini-duct system also dehumidifies the air more effectively. The high
pressure blower compresses the air and allows it to be in contact with the
cooling coils longer – which reduces the temperature and removes more humidity.
