Heat and Cool Rooms Without Adding Ducts

Hayes Heating and Cooling installs, repairs, and maintains ductless heating and cooling systems in Puyallup, Washington.

When you add a bedroom, finish a basement, or convert a garage into a workspace, running new ductwork to those rooms can be expensive and disruptive. Ductless systems let you heat and cool individual spaces without tearing into walls or ceilings, which is why they are often used in remodels and older homes in Puyallup that were built without central air. Each indoor unit mounts on a wall and connects to an outdoor compressor through a small conduit that carries refrigerant and power.

Hayes Heating and Cooling provides full-service ductless solutions including installation, repair, and maintenance for homes throughout Puyallup. Systems are designed for zoned comfort, meaning you can set different temperatures in different rooms depending on how each space is used. Ductless units also integrate into hybrid HVAC configurations, where they work alongside a furnace or boiler to provide efficient heating and cooling year-round. Hayes Heating and Cooling has experience with Daikin and other ductless brands, and can recommend systems based on your home layout and energy goals.

Each Unit Is Positioned for Airflow and Access

Installation begins by mounting the indoor unit on an interior wall and placing the outdoor compressor on a concrete pad or bracket outside. A three-inch hole is drilled through the exterior wall to run the conduit, which carries refrigerant lines, electrical wiring, and a condensate drain. Hayes Heating and Cooling positions each unit to avoid furniture placement issues and to make sure air circulates evenly across the room. In Puyallup, outdoor units are often placed on the side or back of the home to minimize noise near windows and patios.

After installation, you will notice immediate temperature control in the room where the unit is installed, with no waiting for air to travel through ducts. Each unit operates independently, so you can turn off heating or cooling in rooms that are not being used, which reduces energy waste compared to a central system that conditions your entire home at once.

Ductless systems require filter cleaning every few weeks and annual maintenance to check refrigerant levels and inspect electrical connections. Repairs typically involve replacing sensors, cleaning coils, or addressing refrigerant leaks. The service does not include structural modifications or electrical panel upgrades that may be needed if your home lacks sufficient capacity for additional circuits.

Most People Want to Know How It Works

Homeowners in Puyallup often ask how many units they need, whether ductless systems work during cold weather, and how much maintenance is involved once the system is running.

How many ductless units do I need for my home?
It depends on how many rooms you want to control independently and how large those spaces are. One unit can usually handle a bedroom or office, while larger open areas may need two units or a multi-zone system with one outdoor compressor.
What is the difference between ductless installation and ductless repair?
Installation involves mounting new equipment and running refrigerant lines through your wall. Repair addresses issues with existing systems such as units that will not turn on, poor airflow, or refrigerant leaks that reduce heating and cooling performance.
How often should I clean the filters in my ductless unit?
You should clean or replace filters every two to four weeks depending on how often the unit runs. Dirty filters reduce airflow and force the system to work harder, which lowers efficiency and increases wear on internal components.
Why would I use a ductless system if I already have a furnace?
Ductless systems are efficient for rooms that are hard to reach with your existing ductwork or for spaces you do not use every day. Many homeowners in Puyallup use them in additions, home offices, or finished basements where installing new ducts would be impractical.
What brands of ductless systems does Hayes Heating and Cooling work with?
Hayes Heating and Cooling has experience with Daikin and other ductless brands. They can recommend systems based on your heating and cooling needs, budget, and how the equipment integrates with your existing HVAC setup.
