Lakewood Ductless HVAC Services

Ductless Mini-Split Experts Proudly Serving the Greater Denver Area

It can seem strange to think about an air conditioning or heating system that doesn’t require ductwork, but it is possible! Ductless systems – also known as mini-split systems – are an ever-increasingly popular choice to provide Colorado homes with cool, clean air in the summer and heated air in the winter. These energy-efficient comfort providers are known for their ability to provide cold air while taking up far less space than traditional central HVAC units.

At Apple Aire, we offer a full suite of Lakewood ductless HVAC services, from installation and replacement to routine maintenance and emergency repairs. No matter your needs, you can always expect friendly, prompt service provided by seasoned technicians. Earning your satisfaction and optimizing your home’s comfort are our top priorities.

Why Choose a Ductless HVAC System?

As their name implies, ductless HVAC systems operate without the use of ductwork, meaning you never have to worry about duct cleaning or duct repairs. What’s more, ductless systems offer more personalized cooling control options thanks to their separate air handlers.

Other advantages of installing a ductless HVAC system in your home include:

Energy efficiency. Ductless systems are highly energy efficient, mainly because they eliminate the energy losses associated with ductwork in traditional systems.
Cost savings. While the initial installation cost of a ductless system can be higher than traditional systems, the energy savings over time can be substantial. The increased energy efficiency and the ability to zone your heating and cooling needs mean that you only pay to condition the spaces you use, potentially leading to lower utility bills.
Flexibility in installation. Mini-split systems provide significant flexibility in terms of installation. Each outdoor unit can support multiple indoor units, which can be located in various rooms (or “zones”). This flexibility allows for targeted heating and cooling, contributing to the overall comfort and energy efficiency of your living spaces.
Minimally invasive installation. Installing a ductless system typically only requires a small hole in the wall for each indoor unit, making the installation process much less invasive than that of traditional ducted systems. This makes ductless systems an attractive option for homes where installing ductwork would be impractical or too disruptive.
Zoning capabilities. Ductless systems excel in providing zoned comfort solutions. Each indoor unit has its own thermostat, so you can heat or cool spaces as needed. This is particularly beneficial for households with varying temperature preferences or spaces that are rarely used.
Saved space. Unlike traditional systems that require bulky ductwork, ductless HVAC systems are compact and save considerable space. The indoor units can be mounted on walls, suspended from ceilings, or even installed as floor-standing models, offering further versatility and space-saving options.
Lower operational noise. Ductless systems are designed for quiet operation. The loudest components (compressors and motors) are located in the outdoor unit, significantly reducing indoor noise levels.
Improved air quality. Indoor units of ductless systems often come with multi-stage filtration features that drastically reduce dust, bacteria, pollen, allergens, and other particulates in the air. This is a stark contrast to traditional HVAC systems, which can circulate these particles throughout a home via ductwork.

Do Ductless Mini-Split Systems Work Well in Colorado?

Our Lakewood ductless HVAC services are specifically designed to accommodate Colorado homes. These systems’ versatility frequently makes them a great choice for the region’s fluctuating weather conditions. Ductless systems excel in these environments due to their ability to provide both heating and cooling from the same unit, ensuring comfortable indoor temperatures year-round. Additionally, their zoning capabilities allow homeowners to customize temperature settings in different areas of the home, enhancing comfort and energy efficiency. This is particularly beneficial in Colorado, where day and night temperatures can vary significantly.

How Often Does My Colorado Ductless HVAC System Need Professional Maintenance?

Maintaining a ductless HVAC system is crucial to ensuring its longevity, efficiency, and the quality of air it circulates. Regular maintenance typically includes cleaning or replacing the filters every few months to prevent dust and debris from accumulating and obstructing airflow.

Ductless HVAC systems should generally receive professional maintenance twice a year – once in the spring and once in the fall. During these check-ups, our technicians will clean the evaporator and condenser coils, check the refrigerant level, and ensure all electrical components and connections are functioning correctly. Proper maintenance ensures that ductless HVAC systems run efficiently, providing optimal heating and cooling while keeping energy costs low. When you schedule your ductless HVAC maintenance with one of our Tru Tech-certified techs, you will enjoy the promise of 100% customer satisfaction along with some great warranties that no one else can offer.

Signs Your Ductless HVAC System Needs Repairs

While ductless HVAC systems are known for their reliability and efficiency, they can develop issues that require professional repairs, just like any type of complex mechanical equipment. Addressing warning signs promptly can not only extend the lifespan of your mini-split system but also ensure that it reliably delivers comfortable temperatures and good indoor air quality.

You should request our Lakewood ductless HVAC services if you notice any of the following problems:

Unusual noises. Ductless systems are designed for quiet operation. If you start noticing unusual sounds, such as grinding, buzzing, or whistling coming from the indoor or outdoor units, something is likely wrong. These noises could indicate problems ranging from a loose component to a malfunctioning compressor.
Weak airflow. A noticeable decrease in airflow can be a symptom of several issues, such as a clogged air filter, a malfunctioning fan, or issues with the system’s compressor. Regular cleaning or changing of the filters can sometimes resolve this, but if the problem persists, professional attention may be required.
Ice formation. Seeing ice on the evaporator coils or surrounding the outdoor unit is a sign of a potential refrigerant leak or airflow issues. Refrigerant leaks can not only reduce efficiency but also cause environmental harm and require immediate professional repair to prevent further damage to the system.
Unresponsive controls. If your ductless system’s indoor unit doesn't respond to remote control commands or the wall-mounted thermostat, there could be an issue with the electrical components or the communication links between the indoor unit, the outdoor unit, and the control systems. Electrical issues can range from simple fixes to more complex problems involving the circuit board or wiring.
Odd smells. Any unusual smell emanating from your ductless HVAC units could indicate a serious problem. A musty smell often suggests mold or mildew formation inside the unit, while a burning odor could signal overheating components. Both situations require timely professional assessment.
Increased energy bills. If you notice an abrupt rise in your energy bills without a corresponding increase in usage, it could indicate that your ductless system is working harder than it should to maintain desired temperatures. This inefficiency can stem from a variety of issues, such as leaking refrigerant, dirty components, or a malfunctioning thermostat.
Inconsistent heating or cooling. If certain areas of your home are not being adequately heated or cooled, or if the system struggles to maintain the set temperature, you may be dealing with inadequate refrigerant levels, issues with the compressor, or problems with the indoor unit's blower.
