A ductless mini-split system is an air conditioning and heating system that is meant to be used for individual rooms or spaces. The system has two separate units; an exterior unit that houses the condenser, and an interior unit that circulates air. The two units are connected by tubes that are easily retrofitted into existing spaces or installed into new construction. This system is unique because it does not require any ducts for air intake nor to circulate air. Multiple indoor units may be used with a single outdoor unit; however, a single air output in a room means that these systems are best suited for smaller areas or used in conjunction with zones.

Ductless AC Installation & Replacement
When installing ductless AC in your home, starting with a team you can trust is essential. Effective installation means choosing the suitable high-quality unit to suit your home HVAC needs, as much as it means the actual technical expertise to install your unit right for optimal performance and reliability.
An inadequate system for your needs will leave your home uncomfortable on the hottest or most humid days. A system that’s too much for your needs will start and start constantly, operating at a lower level of efficiency and wearing itself out early — to say nothing of the unnecessary expense of too large a unit.

Ideal Situations for A Ductless Mini-Split
A mini-split unit can fit the needs of a wide range of applications. The ductless design can easily be retrofitted in existing structures or installed in new construction.
New Construction
Mini-split systems are worth consideration when constructing a new building if you want full zone control in small areas or rooms. Each space is granted its own temperature control, meaning the rooms being used are heated or cooled. This significantly saves on energy expenses over the unit’s lifetime compared to a traditional HVAC system.
Existing Spaces
Adding a mini-split unit to an existing structure is really where the design becomes the best option. These systems are ductless, so they can be installed and operated without the high expense of adding ductwork to an already finished building. Ductless also means higher efficiency, as air is not lost traveling and escaping through leaky ducts around the house. Below are some ideal spaces for a ductless mini-split system:
- Room Additions
- Enclosed Patios
- Bonus Rooms
- Offices
- Bedrooms
- Supplement Whole Home System
- Independent Temperature Zones
- Garage Heating and Cooling
