What is a Ductless Mini-Split System?
A ductless air conditioning system or “mini-split” consists of one or more wall-mounted air handlers inside your home or office and an outdoor compressor.
Small tubes carry refrigerant from the compressor to the indoor units, so you only have to drill a small hole behind each air handler.
The inverter-driven compressor makes mini-split systems ultra energy-efficient, which saves you money, the indoor air handlers have a sleek, non-invasive design that goes with any decor, and they are much quieter and safer than window units, making them the perfect solution for:
- HOME ADDITIONS. Ductless systems can heat or cool home additions like a sunroom, bonus room, or lounge - without diverting air from the rest of the house and, because you’re not sharing ductwork, you don’t have to worry about “stinking up the rest of the house” if you’re smoking cigars in your man cave.
- GARAGES. Garages can get extremely hot in the summer, making a ductless system the perfect solution if you’ve converted your garage into a gym, or you’re just like to tinker in the garage for hours at a time.
- EMPTY NESTERS WITH UNUSED ROOMS. Closing air vents creates a pressure imbalance that causes your central air conditioning system to run inefficiently, costing you more in the long run. Ductless systems allow you to heat or cool the areas you’re currently using, while keeping the temperature in unused areas just low enough to avoid mold.
- ROOMS WITH SPECIFIC TEMPERATURE REQUIREMENTS. If you have a home office with computer
