4 Ways a Ductless System Can Help With Efficiency

Monday, March 13th, 2023

Yes, ductless HVAC systems are efficient … but how efficient are they?

This is a question we get all the time and it’s hard to answer it with numbers. Every model of ductless mini split is going to differ, and every home is going to have a different level of energy efficiency. For instance, a home with the door left wide open all year is going to be much less efficient than one that’s tightly insulated. We can’t really control that, and it might lead to a homeowner getting frustrated after being promised that their ductless system was efficient.

What we can do is point to the ways that a ductless system improves efficiency in Logan, South Harrison, and East Greenwich. And, if they’re maximized properly (with insulation, mild thermostat settings, and more) then you can reduce your energy bill by a substantial amount.

Let’s get into it, and be sure to contact our team for ductless AC service in Gloucester County, NJ.

Monday, September 12th, 2022

This is a great question! Short cycling is something we talk about often on this blog, and it’s also something that we constantly ward against. It’s a problem, but when pressed on why it’s a problem, many people don’t have the answer. That’s okay!

We’re not expecting anyone to be an HVAC expert, especially with how much training is required to actually get licensed and be a pro. If you’ve been told why short cycling is bad before but you just forgot, then this blog post is perfect for you. We’re going to talk about why short cycling is so bad for the efficiency and longevity of your air conditioner, and why it might end up requiring an early replacement if you’re not careful.

Ambient Comfort’s Guide to Efficiency

Monday, July 18th, 2022

Ah, efficiency. It’s one of the most important aspects of air conditioning, heating, and indoor air quality. Ever since energy prices started to rise and we’ve dealt with the effects of climate change, it became clear that energy is going to cost us. Every time you switch on a TV, and every time you turn on a light in your home, that consumes a certain amount of electricity that’s going to cost money paid to the utility company. The more energy you use, the more you pay for the electricity. And, as things are today, an air conditioner consumes the largest amount of electricity of any appliance in homes throughout Greenwich, Hainesport, and even Evesham.

In order to measure how effective your air conditioner is, or the condition it’s in, we need to talk about its efficiency. This blog is devoted to all things efficiency—what it is, why it’s important, and what you can do to improve your HVAC efficiency in Cumberland County.
