What is a ductless system?

Ductless systems are high-efficiency cooling and heating systems that allow you to keep spaces with no ductwork as comfortable as those that do. These targeted comfort systems are generally used in a single space, but there are other multi-unit options available as well. Ductless systems can be used not only in spaces that have no available ductwork, but they can also be used to balance out hot and cold spots in your home or office, increase the energy efficiency of surrounding spaces, or provide precision temperature control in areas where storage or data needs to be protected.

What does a ductless system look like?

A ductless system mounts directly on your wall or ceiling, and blends well with virtually any décor. Unlike a window air conditioning unit which blocks your view, ductless systems are non-obtrusive and quiet, so what you’ll notice more than anything else is the improved comfort level of the room. And because Clarkstown Heating & Air Conditioning provides expert installation, we can install your ductless unit in just a few hours, no patching, painting or ductwork required.

Is my space ideal for ductless?

As we’ve said, any living or working space that is without ductwork is probably a good space for ductless. Here are just a few examples of areas where ductless heating and cooling might be ideal:

• Converted attics
• New additions
• Finished basements
• Sunrooms
• Older homes
• Data or storage rooms
• Kiosks and off-hours offices

Freon is being slowly phased out due to environmental concerns over its effect on the ozone layer. Many of today’s consumers have a growing awareness of these concerns, and they’re looking for products that are Energy Star-rated and approved. What they might not be aware of, however, is the type of refrigerant that’s in their current system, the high cost of leaks, and what they can do to leave a smaller carbon footprint.

Over the next two years, the supply of Freon will be reduced by 10-13 percent each year, which will cause the price per pound of replacement refrigerant to skyrocket. There has already been a significant increase this year – from $33 per pound to $79! And, considering that on average, a technician needs to replace between 4-6 pounds of refrigerant on a leaky system, the cost for replacement Freon alone could be in the neighborhood of $480!

If your system is more than 10 years old, and your air conditioning contractor has to add refrigerant to it, it’s pretty likely that you have a leak.

When you take into account the high cost of replacing Freon in your system, you might want to consider replacing your system with one that is both more efficient and more environmentally proactive – and that’s where Clarkstown Heating & Air Conditioning can help.

When you choose to replace your system this spring with a high-efficiency cooling system from Carrier, you’ll be able to save up to $1,250 in rebates through Carrier’s Cool Cash program. Carrier’s high-efficiency systems use Puron^®, Carrier’s patented formulation of R-410A refrigerant. Not only will you benefit from great money-back savings on a new Carrier system, but you’ll benefit for years to come in savings on your energy bills as well.

That’s because Puron offers energy-saving benefits as well – which can mean lower utility bills. The heat-transfer properties available in Puron units offer higher-efficiency performance and rating. Upgrading to a new system provides future cost savings as Freon continues to be phased out and increases in price.

With the cost of Freon on the rise – and the environmental concerns over its usage – now is a great time to consider a better alternative. If you’re tired of paying more than you should be in energy bills and repair costs because of your older unit, give Clarkstown Heating & Air Conditioning a call at 845-620-1000, and we’ll be more than happy to help.

There are a few important points to take into consideration when you’re looking at heating contractors. It can be a confusing time, but if you consider the following five tips, you’re sure to find a company that’s both highly qualified and is prepared to go above and beyond to meet your needs:

Five Signs of a Good Heating Contractor

What are their certifications? A company that is invested in its employees is more likely to be invested in you. Look for a company that is NATE-certified. NATE stands for North American Technician Excellence – and this translates into highly trained technicians working in your home and on your heating system.

What products do they offer? Does the company you’re considering offer quality equipment from trusted brands? Are they a factory-authorized dealer? Most companies that are associated with a particular trusted brand are required to maintain high levels of professionalism and employee education – meaning a better product and enhanced service for you.

What are other people saying? Some of the best advertising is word-of-mouth. What are other customers saying about the heating contractor you’re considering? Once you have a name, check with your friends to see if they have experience working with the company. And, check the company’s website for testimonials.

Do they provide a full range of HVAC services? Heating contractors that offer repair services, maintenance contracts, special financing and priority service will likely be there to help you should you have any questions, concerns or other home comfort needs.

Do they provide customer education? The best heating contractors are able to provide their customers with honest, straightforward answers to all of their heating questions. Does the contractor you’re considering have a wealth of product and HVAC information at their fingertips, and are you able to easily access it? Do they have a knowledge center on their website that you can easily peruse?

Clarkstown Heating & Air can provide you with all of these benefits and more. To find out more about us, please call us at 825-620-1000.

We just want to inform you of what a positive experience we had with the installation of your Carrier air conditioning system into our home.

Your comfort specialist was a wonderful salesperson in presenting the various options. She is a very capable person and we deeply appreciate all her help and time in assisting us.

The other people I would like to thank (everyone involved) for their work, installation, and assistance in answering questions are. All these individuals are valued employees. Our journey though life is a little more difficult for our youngest son is multi-handicapped. All of these lovely people made the transition of the a/c installation go as smoothly as possible and we greatly appreciate it! Please extend our thanks to all of them.

Sincerely,
Linda and Gary Fischer
