Why Ductless ACs Are Superior to Window Units in Maumelle, AR

August 27, 2025

Ductless air conditioners can cool your whole home and work more efficiently than window units. For homes in Maumelle, AR, they make more sense in the long run. Here are some reasons ductless ACs are superior to window units.

Efficiency

The industry uses the SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating to measure efficiency. Ductless ACs have higher SEER ratings than their window counterparts, sometimes double. Therefore, using a ductless AC, also known as a mini-split system, can help you conserve energy and reduce utility bills.

Quiet Operation

Manufacturers also rate units according to how much sound they make. Ductless ACs tend to outperform window units in terms of quietness. Having a quiet air conditioner can make a difference when you’re trying to relax at home.

Visual Appeal

Window ACs can block the sunlight and prevent you from enjoying the view and fresh air on pleasant days. In contrast, ductless ACs don’t interfere with your windows at all.

We often mount ductless ACs on walls, and can install them in ceilings or supply a floor model. We can help you find an inconspicuous place to mount yours as well.

Versatility

Many ductless mini-split systems can provide heat and cooling, so a single system keeps you comfortable throughout the year. Plus, one of our HVAC technicians can install a mini-split system for you in just about any room.

Additionally, we can install an air handler in almost any room. Window ACs, as their name implies, require windows. They often need windows of a certain size to ensure that they can fit properly, which not every room will have.

Because of their efficiency, quietness, visual appeal and versatility, ductless ACs have worked well for many households in our area.
