Ductless mini-split systems offer energy-efficient heating and cooling without the expenses of installing and maintaining ductwork. Ductless systems come in single-zone and multi-zone varieties. The guide below explains the differences between these options to help you determine which is right for your home.

How do Single-Zone HVAC Systems Work?

This option includes an outdoor compressor and an indoor unit that heats and cools one room. This is typically used in areas of the house that don’t have vents. For example, if you build a home addition or convert the basement into a recreational space, a single-zone AC allows you to heat or cool that area without the costs of adding new ducts.

Although it’s similar in application to a window air conditioning unit, this type of product features advanced filtration for cleaner air, remote control, and energy efficiency.

How do Multi-Zone HVAC Systems Work?

This system also uses an outdoor compressor, but it has multiple indoor components to heat and cool many rooms individually. Since you can set each thermostat to a different temperature, the multi-zone setup ensures personal comfort for every member of the household.

In addition to letting family members maintain unique temperatures in their bedrooms, this option allows you to lower your energy bills by turning off units in zones that aren’t occupied. If you have a large family, own a house without ductwork, or are building a new home, a multi-zone ductless system is an eco-friendly alternative to central air.
