Ductless Mini-Split HVAC System Installation

A ductless mini-split HVAC system operates just like a conventional heat pump, providing both warmth and cooling as you need it. The difference is that instead of a single indoor unit distributing heated or cooled air through ductwork, a ductless mini-split system has multiple small units serving individual rooms or zones. That makes it a great choice for room additions where extending or installing distribution ductwork is not feasible, as well as older homes without air ducts.

A split-system HVAC setup could be a great choice for heating and cooling your home because it can be installed more easily than those units that require ductwork. Each indoor unit is connected to an outdoor condenser. Typically, the only alterations that need to be made to your home is drilling small holes to accommodate the conduits that connect all the components together. Ductless heating and cooling systems make a good alternative to traditional setups because they don’t require the installation of ducts running throughout your property.

Split-system AC also gives you the ability to customize the environment within your home. Because you can set the temperature for each room individually, you can enjoy a cooler temperature in your bedroom while the rest of your house is kept warm.

With centralized air, you’re keeping every room at the same setting until you adjust the thermostat. This means not everyone in your family will necessarily be comfortable at the same time. Not to mention, you’ll be spending money heating or cooling rooms that no one is occupying. A split system can prevent those issues by giving you total control over the climate in each space with a unit.

Why Choose Ductless HVAC?

• Their small size and flexibility for heating and cooling individual rooms.
• Many models can have up to four indoor air-handling units connected to one outdoor unit.
• Each zone has its own thermostat, so you can condition each space individually, potentially saving energy and money.

Ductless mini-split AC systems can be relatively expensive to buy and install. In fact, these systems might cost about 70% of what a central AC system costs—and could even cost five times as much as window units.
