A ductless mini-split heating and air conditioning system warms and cools a home without the need for intricate ventilation structures and elaborate ductwork. As a result, HVAC contractors can install the entire system in a fraction of the time of a standard furnace or air conditioner. Below, learn more about this popular climate control option and the benefits it provides.

How Do They Work?

Ductless units work similarly to traditional ones. An air conditioner takes in air from a room, removes heat and moisture, and returns the cool air back into the space. A heater essentially switches this process, drawing in air from the outside, heating it, and circulating it throughout the room. But instead of having one central unit handle the needs of every room in the house, ductless systems are installed separately in each room. This is an approach known as multi-zone heating and cooling. In most settings, each room is a zone, and you can program different temperatures in different zones.

What Are the Benefits?

One of the biggest benefits of a ductless mini-split is the versatility it offers. The whole home does not need to maintain the same temperature. Each individual zone can be tailored to meet the climate control needs of whoever is utilizing that space. Also, you can switch off the ductless mini-split in a room that is not in use, which conserves energy and saves you money on heating and cooling costs. There is a more comprehensive coverage area as well, with fewer hot and cold spots than a traditional air conditioner or furnace. An HVAC contractor will install a ductless system quickly, easily, and without disruption to your home and life.
