Ductless Heating and Cooling Systems

Ductless Systems

Ductless systems have a condensing unit that is stored outside. They also consist of an air handler which is mounted indoors on a wall and a conduit to connect it to the outdoor unit. You can connect as many as five indoor units to the one outside condenser. This allows you to create zones for your heating and cooling. Ductless systems provide reduced energy costs and cleaner air while offering a more comfortable space and less maintenance.

Why Choose a Boiler Over a Furnace?

While furnaces are the most common heating system in the U.S., boilers remain a preferred choice for many homeowners due to their efficiency, comfort, and heating method. Here’s why some people opt for boilers instead of furnaces:

1. More Even & Consistent Heat

Boilers use radiant heat to warm homes, distributing heat through hot water or steam in radiators, baseboards, or radiant floor systems. Unlike furnaces, which rely on forced air, boilers provide consistent warmth without temperature fluctuations or drafts.

2. Better Energy Efficiency

Boilers generally have higher energy efficiency than furnaces because water retains heat longer than air. High-efficiency condensing boilers can reach AFUE ratings of 90% or higher, reducing fuel consumption and lowering heating costs.

3. Improved Indoor Air Quality

Since boilers do not rely on air ducts, they do not circulate dust, allergens, or dry air throughout the home. This makes them ideal for people with allergies or respiratory conditions, as they help maintain cleaner indoor air and better humidity levels.

4. Quieter Operation

Furnaces require blowers and fans to push heated air through ductwork, which can create noise and vibrations. Boilers operate silently, making them a great option for those who prefer a quieter home.

5. Longer Lifespan

Boilers typically have a longer lifespan than furnaces, often lasting 20–30 years with proper maintenance. Their fewer moving parts mean less wear and tear, resulting in fewer breakdowns and lower maintenance costs over time.

6. Ideal for Older & Multi-Story Homes

Many older homes in Minneapolis and St. Paul were built with boiler-based heating systems and may not have ductwork for a furnace. Boilers are also more effective at heating multi-story homes evenly, reducing temperature imbalances.

7. Compatible with Radiant Floor Heating

Boilers work seamlessly with radiant floor heating systems, which provide warmth from the ground up. This method of heating is energy-efficient, comfortable, and eliminates cold spots.

8. No Ductwork Required

For homes without existing ductwork, installing a boiler system can be more cost-effective than adding ductwork for a furnace. This is especially beneficial for historic homes or homes with limited attic and crawl space.
