You’ve probably heard the terms before: ductless, mini-split, or mounted cooling systems. So what is a ductless air conditioning system? It’s actually as simple as it sounds; an HVAC system with no ductwork. If you’re in the market for a new unit, you might wonder what the differences are between this system and if it’s suitable for your home. Below we highlight how a ductless AC system works and why it is a good option for many homeowners.
What Is a Ductless Air Conditioning System?
A ductless air conditioning system includes an outdoor and indoor unit connected by refrigerant tubing and electrical wiring. The indoor unit is often mounted on a wall and delivers heated or cooled air straight into a room. Instead of a traditional system that relies on long lengths of ductwork transporting warm and cool air back and forth, a ductless system delivers conditioned air directly into a room through the small mounted unit that pulls in warm air and sends it back out as cold air. Ductless systems are popular because they involve a much less intrusive installation, blend in better with the room, are quieter, versatile, and very energy efficient.
Each ductless AC has an outdoor unit connected to one to four indoor units, with its own remote control and thermostat. In other words, if you have a ductless AC in your bedroom and want to keep the temperature at 65 degrees in the summer while you keep your guest room at 70 degrees, you can!
Advantages of a Ductless AC Install
The most significant benefit of installing a ductless AC over a traditional system is the ease of installation. Because they require no ductwork, installation is often fast and less intrusive, with no more than a 3-inch hole in the wall for the conduit. There are a host of other advantages to ductless ACs, including:
- Highly energy-efficient cooling system
- No ductwork means no hassle
- Efficiently cool a room added to an existing home
- Effectively cool a space converted into a living area like a basement, attic, or garage
- Preserve the integrity of an older home without space for ductwork or vents
- Preserve the décor of indoor spaces with a low-profile unit
- Add cooling power to a room with an existing air conditioner or uneven temperatures
- Compatible with Solar systems as they are fueled with electricity
