Upgrading to a ductless HVAC system improves your home’s energy efficiency. This equipment comes in single-zone and multi-zone setups, both of which can be controlled remotely. Use this guide to understand the differences between these options to determine which is better suited to your heating and cooling needs. 

How do Single-Zone Ductless HVAC Systems Work?

This HVAC configuration includes one outdoor compressor and an indoor air handler that cools or heats a single room. This option is popular with those building home additions or converting a space, like a garage or an attic, into a functional living area. 

A single-zone system also provides climate control to rooms that don’t have functioning ductwork. If you have a space with unique temperature concerns, such as a basement or sunroom, this unit reduces strain on your HVAC system and keeps the area comfortable.

How do Multi-Zone Ductless HVAC Systems Work?

When you have more than one room to cool or heat, a multi-zone system is a cost-effective option. This HVAC setup consists of one compressor connected to two to eight indoor units. As there are multiple air handlers, the equipment controls the entire home’s climate.

Multi-zoned systems are often used in new constructions as alternatives to central air. They’re also popular for older homes that don’t have existing HVAC systems, as ductwork is often more costly to install. In large households, they allow each member to control the climate of their room so they can stay comfortable regardless of how other thermostats are set throughout the house.
