Traditional Ducted HVAC Vs. Ductless Mini Split HVAC-
Why pay tens of thousands of dollars for a ducted system that loses up to 40% of its efficiency from the day of installation? That is correct, “UP TO 40% DUCT-LOSS” from DAY ONE!
How & Why? Air resistance in ventilation systems is primarily determined by the air speed within the system. Air resistance grows directly proportional to air flow. This phenomenon is known as pressure loss.
In simple terms, a traditional HVAC system requires the refrigerant “Line Sets” to run from the evaporator coil to the compressor, releasing the BTUs through a condenser coil, which also requires an expensive fabrication and installation. A fan or air handler then moves that air to a “Trunk,” where the air flows through a duct damper, which has individual ducts tapped to the trunk, then each duct runs out to the individual rooms.
The placement of the Air Handler to the “Trunk” will vary depending on the home's construction. The farther the two components are from each other, the greater the pressure loss incurred. Once the conditioned air is pushed to the “Trunk,” it then travels to and through the individual ducts to each room, creating more resistance and causing additional pressure loss.
By that time, duct loss has occurred because of pressure loss, leaky joints, and inadequate insulation of each duct. The reason some rooms have better flow than others.
So, you can picture why some rooms, farthest from the Air Handler, have a harder time getting comfortable. So, what you pay for at the air handler is not what you receive at the other end in the home.
IT GETS WORSE-
When you set your thermostat to 75° to condition a back bedroom for 70°, now you know why. Also, that thermostat cannot read the design temperature in a separate room. Little to no control over most rooms in the home. Increased energy usage –decreased comfort. Even the most efficient systems are only as efficient as antiquated designs allow.
Calculates 1° variation in accuracy = 3% Increase in energy cost= IE: 3% energy Increase in lost comfort
