Ductless Mini-Split HVAC Systems

A ductless mini-split is a heating and cooling system that doesn’t require ductwork. It consists of an outdoor condenser and one or more indoor air handlers, connected by refrigerant lines, to provide efficient temperature control for individual rooms or zones.

Unlike central air systems that rely on ductwork to distribute conditioned air, ductless mini-splits deliver air directly into each room. This allows for more precise temperature control, reduced energy loss, and improved efficiency.

They can be installed in almost any space, including bedrooms, living rooms, offices, garages, and home additions. Because they don’t require ducts, they’re especially ideal for older homes, remodels, or rooms without existing ductwork.

Yes. Mini-splits are highly energy efficient because they avoid duct losses and offer zone-based control, allowing you to heat or cool only the spaces you use. Many models are ENERGY STAR® certified.

Yes. Multi-zone ductless systems can connect a single outdoor condenser to several indoor units, making it possible to control different rooms independently.

Most ductless systems are heat pumps, meaning they can both cool in the summer and heat in the winter, providing year-round comfort.

With proper maintenance, ductless mini-splits can last 15 to 20 years or more. Regular cleaning of filters and scheduled servicing help extend their lifespan.

Yes. Indoor units typically operate at a low sound level, often quieter than a conversation. Outdoor condensers are also designed for low-noise operation.

Basic maintenance includes cleaning or replacing filters every few weeks, keeping outdoor units free from debris, and scheduling professional inspections annually.

Costs vary depending on the number of zones, system size, and features. While the upfront investment is higher than window or portable units, the energy savings and long lifespan make them cost-effective over time.
