What Are Ductless Systems & How Do They Work?

Ductless HVAC systems work the same way an air conditioner or heat pump works: by moving heat around using refrigerant and blowing the cold air left behind into your home. A traditional system has a single indoor unit connected to a single outdoor unit, which then blows through your ducts to cool all rooms.

By contrast, a ductless system connects a similar outdoor unit to as many indoor units as you want placed throughout your home, directly serving cold air to those rooms. These units are all connected directly by refrigerant lines, which are much smaller than ductwork.

The Benefits of Ductless AC Systems

Want to make the leap to ductless air conditioning the next time you replace your cooling system? You could enjoy these advantages:

• Improve efficiency by eliminating energy waste from ductwork.
• Reclaim space that a large central unit and ducts would otherwise take up.
• Set up zoned climate control to allow different rooms to target different temperatures.
• Enjoy cleaner air without ducts to accumulate dust, mold spores, and other allergens.
• Better control humidity by placing units throughout your home instead of in one place.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many indoor air handling units can be connected to a single outdoor ductless condenser?

Depending on the model you select, we can typically connect up to eight indoor units to a single outdoor condenser. This allows you to customize the temperature in individual bedrooms, living areas, and home offices while only maintaining a single exterior footprint.

Can ductless mini-split units be installed in interior rooms without direct access to an outside wall?

Yes, our technicians can use specialized condensate pumps to move moisture away from interior units to a distant drainage point. This flexibility allows us to mount indoor heads on virtually any wall or even in the ceiling, as long as we can route the small refrigerant lines through the attic or crawlspace.

How do you ensure the outdoor refrigerant lines are protected and aesthetically pleasing?

We use high-quality, weather-resistant “line hide” covers that protect the copper tubing and electrical wiring from UV damage and debris. These covers can be painted to match your home’s exterior siding or trim, ensuring the installation looks professional and blends into your home’s architecture.

Will I need to perform any specific maintenance on the indoor units between professional visits?

Homeowners should wash the reusable mesh filters inside the front panel of each indoor unit every 4 to 6 weeks to maintain optimal airflow. Keeping these filters clean prevents dust from coating the sensitive evaporator coils, which helps maintain the unit’s high-efficiency rating and prevents musty odors.
