Easy Ductless Installation: Comfort Without Ductwork
June 23rd, 2025If you think your home can’t enjoy efficient, whole-home comfort just because it lacks ductwork—think again. At Associated Heating and Air Conditioning, we proudly install ductless mini-split systems throughout Eugene, OR, and the surrounding areas to provide flexible, energy-saving comfort in spaces where traditional HVAC systems fall short. Whether you’re switching systems entirely or comparing heat pumps vs. central AC, ductless may offer a better fit for your layout and needs.
What are the key benefits of ductless heat pump installation?
- Superior energy efficiency: Without ducts, systems avoid up to 30 % heat loss, and inverter-driven compressors adjust output precisely to demand, lowering energy bills.
- Flexible, low-impact installation: Ideal for older homes, additions, garages, or zones lacking ducts—with minimal construction, often completed in a day.
- Zoned and customizable comfort: Each room can have its own indoor unit and thermostat, enabling heating or cooling only where needed.
Reliable year-round heating and cooling: Many ductless heat pumps maintain efficient performance even at freezing outdoor temperatures—perfect for climates like Eugene, OR.
Whether you’re looking to upgrade an older home, finish a basement, convert a garage, or improve comfort in a specific zone, ductless solutions are a smart and powerful alternative. Let’s explore why more homeowners are making the switch.
