Why You May Want to Cool Your Home without Air Ducts

June 1st, 2015

Traditionally, the use of air ducts in cooling one’s home was the norm. A central air conditioner would remove heat from the air in the house, and that heat would be vented outdoors. Following the removal of this heat, the cooled air would then be redistributed throughout the house via a system of ductwork.

While ducted whole-house cooling systems are still probably the most prevalent cooling option, many homeowners today are opting for ductless alternatives. There are a few reasons as to why they choose to do so. Consider the following information, and let us know if you think that ductless cooling is the right option for your home and personal preferences. If so, schedule your ductless air conditioning services in Fresno, CA with the professional cooling technicians at Donald P. Dick Air Conditioning.
