How Does Ductless AC Work?

Ductless systems are frequently called mini-split AC units, because they have two main components – an outdoor and an indoor unit. The outdoor unit holds the compressor. The indoor unit contains the air handler. The cooled air is blown directly into each room rather than through a network of air ducts.

Each outside unit can support multiple inside units (a system with more than one interior module is called a “multi-split”). A conduit containing refrigerant, electrical, and drain lines connects the outside and inside units. Installing a ductless system involves drilling a small hole for the conduit, locating the outside unit, and mounting the indoor unit on the ceiling, wall, or floor.

Ductless Air Conditioning Can Be an Economical Alternative

Budget-conscious homeowners often struggle between a comfortable home and a comfortable energy bill. With ductless AC, you don’t have to worry about walking that tightrope. Right off the bat, ductless systems can help save you up to 30% on cooling costs (if EnergyStar certified) because they eliminate the energy loss as the conditioned air travels through ductwork. Here are three other ways mini-splits can save you money:

• Temperature Control: A separate thermostat controls the temperature for each inside unit. This means you can lower your setting and customize your comfort room by room.
• Energy Efficiency: With SEER ratings of up to 28%, ductless systems have almost double the efficiency of forced air systems.
• Targeted Cooling: With a ductless mini-split, you can cool rooms only when you need them. Hello lower electric bills!

Is Ductless Right for Your Home?

One of the central advantages of a new ductless air conditioner installation is its flexibility. Relatively easy to install, ductless HVAC is ideal for many situations:

• Homes that don’t have existing ductwork
• Homes that don’t have room to install ductwork
• Converted living space such as attics or garages
• Remodels and room additions
• Retrofitted historical homes and buildings
• Unique cooling for computer rooms and data storage areas
