Ductless Systems
You may have heard about ductless heating and cooling systems, but do you know about their advantages?
A Flexible Solution
The most common HVAC systems are central air conditioners and heat pumps that use ducts to deliver conditioned air throughout a building.
Ductless systems are more flexible than traditional systems, because ductless systems don’t use ductwork. All that’s needed is a small outdoor unit and one or more indoor units, along with access to electricity and a place to mount the units. Ductless systems can be installed in either new or existing construction.
More Affordable
Traditional heating and cooling units can run inefficiently for a number of reasons, costing you money in lost energy. The actual units are larger than a ductless system, also costing you more money overall, because they naturally consume more power. Also, conditioned air can be lost through gaps in the ductwork before it ever reaches its intended destination, illustrating yet another example of lost energy for which you also pay.
Ductless systems are smaller than traditional HVAC systems, which means they use less power. In addition, the temperature-controlled air of a ductless system is delivered directly into a room instead of throughout an entire building. This means that you don’t heat or cool rooms that aren’t occupied. Translation: less needed power, less money spent.
Improved Indoor Air Quality
Did you know the quality of indoor air is typically lower than that of outdoor air? Ductwork collects dust, allergens, bacteria, as well as many other contaminants. Traditional forced air systems blow air directly through these contaminants and consequently throughout your house.
Ductless systems offer multi-stage filtration that greatly reduces this type of air contamination and creates a healthier indoor environment.
Cleaning Your Ductless Unit
Ductless units should be cleaned annually by a professional. OSA’s technicians will clean your entire system (blower, blower motor, cooling coil, external surfaces of the heat exchanger), allowing it to function at full efficiency. They will also add an air ionizer to help remove airborne particles that can lead to poor indoor air quality. Ensure that contaminants such as bacteria, pet dander, dust, skin cells and mold are not trapped in your unit. Contact Ocean State Air to schedule a professional cleaning of your ductless units.
Easy to Install
Ducted systems can take several weeks to install. They interrupt daily life in the home and can take up valuable real estate due to their size.
Conversely, ductless systems can be installed in as little as a day, depending on the number of units required. The pipes required for the systems only dictate a three-inch hole that makes them easier to integrate into a building.

“Install of 3 Mitsubishi mini splits and condenser just now completed.Everyone I have had contact with at Ocean State Air has been professional and super to work with from the design with Joe DeSilva, to the install with Jesse and Ethan, the electrician Joe Lima, Amber in the office and Sam from the warehouse. Everyone seemed to work well together and have a good understanding of the whole operation. I deeply appreciate that they were able to accommodate my very short window to get the work completed, and the excellent communication all the way through. I very much like that this is a full service local operation. All in all a good experience. THANKS!”

“We recently had a mini ductless system installed and it was a better experience than we had envisioned. Our expectations were really high to begin with, but they outperformed those by a mile!! Anthony was just phenomenal, a very hard worker, a pleasant individual and so easy to work with. He never stops! He arrives early and does not leave until he has completed his task each day and boy, was it a lot of work. I was astonished at how neat and careful he was, laying tarps down and making sure he did not knock into anything. At the end of the day everything was picked up and the rooms looked as neat as a pin. You would never know anyone had been working in my house. He is also a great guy who relates to people and will take time for a question or just to chat for a minute (but then immediately back to work!!). The completed work was done perfectly, as Anthony paid great attention to detail and we are thrilled with the entire proceedure. My husband could not find one thing to critique and he is picky, so that means Anthony did a phenomenal job. Can't wait to really use the system this summer!! Anthony, you have made both of us very happy campers!! Thank you!!”

“Last week a new ductless mini split system was installed in four rooms of my home. I cannot say enough about the professionalism, work ethic and degree of courtesy I experienced while the system was being installed over a period of 5 days. Joe from the Sales division was extremely versed in his products and able to answer every question I posed. His approach was low key and his follow up ensured the project would go smoothly. I could contact him or Kristy at any time and my calls were returned promptly.
Lenny of the Operations division was very familiar with the products and system, and did a great job of explaining the big picture, but also in addressing many small details before I could even ask about them. He was flexible in making a few changes that created more work for the installers but would result in a better install.
Installers Ethan and Jack spent 5 days here. Throughout their stay they were extremely personable, polite, and made every effort to keep the parts of the house they were working in picked up. Instantly likeable and most trust worthy, both of them quickly became like members of the family. They worked steadily from the minute they arrived until the end of each day, always keeping me informed of their arrivals and departures. They provided a briefing on each part of the system as they were installing, and answered any question promptly and informatively. They were also flawless in keeping the pet gates closed and not tracking any dirt into the house, etc.
I would recommend this company and these installers without reservation of any kind. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. I did originally get another company’s estimate, which was actually a bit lower. But I am SO glad I decided to go with Ocean State Air Solutions – a top notch professional service company from top to bottom!
Thanks Guys!!!”
