What is the difference between a ducted air conditioning unit and a ductless unit?

What is the difference between a ducted air conditioning unit and a ductless unit?

What is the difference between a ducted air conditioning unit and a ductless unit? For seasoned homeowners, this can be an easy question.


But, for new homeowners, there may be some questions and concerns.


There are several differences between the two units, which are meant to accommodate different households.


 Ducted air conditioning units require a series of metal networks throughout the walls and ceilings called ducts.


These networks move both cool and warm air through your home or workplace.


On the other hand, ductless air conditioning units do not require ducts, and the unit can be installed inside or outside the wall or on the ceiling.


 Ducted air conditioning units work best when ducts are already installed in your home or workplace.


Should you require ductwork, our trusted experts at Twin Tech can inspect your ducts and make any necessary repairs or installations.


If you find there is an area in your home or workplace that gets more humid than others, a ducted unit might be best for your home.


Finally, ducted air conditioning units provide better airflow, as there is a system for the air to flow more freely.


 Ductless air conditioning units have their benefits as well.


If the area does not have the space for ductwork, these units may work best.


If dust is a concern, then these particular units are right for you.


This is because ductless air conditioning units do not distribute dust, as there are no ducts for it to travel through.


Additionally, with ductless air conditioning, you can have multiple units for different rooms.


Each unit can be set at a different temperature, which means there will be no more fights about where the temperature should be set at! Whether you go with ducted air conditioning or ductless, you can be sure to trust our experts at Twintech.

See What Our Customers Are Saying:

by Elizabeth and John L from Scarborough on Twintech Heating and Cooling

In October 2018, I contacted Greg at Twintech to do a furnace cleaning. Greg discovered that my furnace, installed in 2006 by another company, had been installed incorrectly, leading to restricted air flow. The heat exchanger was also defective. As well, my furnace was too large for the size of my house.

In my opinion, the biggest concern most of us have as consumers is that we have no idea of the quality or knowledge and experience of the technicians any heating and cooling company will send into our homes. I could have avoided having my 2006 furnace installed improperly (leading to early replacement), had I known about Twintech then.

With Twintech you get it all. Because Twintech is a smaller company you can rest assured that the only technicians who will work in your home are Greg and his twin brother Grant who are co-owners and fully licensed and certified with over 30 years of experience in installing and servicing heating and cooling equipment. They are both friendly and personable and answer all your questions. Their workmanship is outstanding. We had a 2 stage, variable speed Goodman furnace installed. My wife and I noticed a difference in the heating and even temperature of our 2 storey home almost immediately. Our old furnace always heated too much on the main floor and too little upstairs. We are also impressed with how quiet the furnace is.

Twintech's office manager, David Gergley, is equally friendly and not only gave us a competitive quote to replace our furnace (we sought other quotes), but also went above and beyond my expectations when he made arrangements with an energy audit company so that we would be considered for a grant from Enbridge and IESO.

Needless to say, I give Twintech a 10 out of 10 and highly recommend them!

by James, Ajax on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Clean, Fast and Efficient Work. Between all the quotes I received Twintech was a few dollars less and offered the best warranty.

by garysumnec360, Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

They did an excellent job. Everything was very well explained. At the end of the job everything was very well cleaned up.

by Glade, Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Twintech offered me a competitive price but more importantly great sales and installation service. They did everything with attention to detail and quality workmanship that is hard to find in this day and age. Dave who first game to visit me answered most of my questions and probed about my needs. For the technical/install questions he was unable to answer he quickly had Greg and Grant the owners answer for me. They did not cut corners on the installation or do anything to simply save time. They stayed into the early evening to complete the job and removed all my old components and even fixed up mistakes other workers ahd made in the past. I would highly recommend them and use them again if the need arises in the future. If you are looking for service or new equipment I would highly recommend Twintech be on your list of Heating companies to get a quote from and ask your questions to.

by Anne of Major Oaks in Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

The company epitomizes high quality service: from the initial client interaction with Dave to the installation and follow up with the technical team. One of the key features I look for is the ability of a technical person to talk to and not talk down to the customer when responding to questions and I had quite a few, all of which were very professionally addressed. I was also quite impressed with the follow up service, promptness, the obvious competence of the team who left no stone un-turned to ensure I was a satisfied customer. Thank you guys.

by Aileen Johnson in Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

All staff concerned were total professionals. Sales rep Dave was like having an old friend at your house. No up selling or pressure, just good honest facts and figures. The owners and assistant who installed our unit worked quietly, efficiently and left our home clean. We could not have been happier with the service and attention we were given. We are so happy a family member recommended Twintech. She said "don't call anyone else, just call them...they are amazing". And they were!!! Thank you guys for the great work!!! A. Johnson

by Lynsey from Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

We are completing a large project adding an addition on to our house and couldn’t be more pleased with our decision to trust Twintech with our hvac work. They removed and replaced the furnace, installed a new A/C unit, swapped our tank water heater for a tankless unit, and completed ducting and new A/C lines through the addition. Without hesitation we would recommend Twintech to anyone.

by Oldtown in Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

by Mike B. Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Very professional, courteous, knowledgeable staff. Sales staff (David Gergley) excellent in knowledge and getting the job setup and installation was very prompt. Greg and Peter (technicians) knew their stuff and stuck around after completion to make sure it all worked properly and that I understood how it all was installed and how the unit worked. Would highly recommend them! Thanks for a great job-house is now cool and comfortable.

by Steve S in Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I had Twintech install a brand new air condition back in June of this year and I'm very happy with their service. I have a very busy schedule so I sent out an email to 7 or 8 HVAC companies just to get an idea of what it would cost. Dave at Twintech and only one other company were able to give me an approximate quote through email. Many of the companies I reached out to didn't even respond. I decided to meet with Dave and he was very friendly and professional. He gave me a good quote for a name brand/energy efficient AC with installation from their certified technicians. It was an easy decision to go with them.

Within a week I had the unit installed and working perfectly. Their technicians were very helpful and answered all of my questions. I'll definitely be calling them back for all of my HVAC needs in the future.
