What Is a Ductless Mini-Split System?
A ductless mini-split air conditioner is an AC system that delivers whole-home air conditioning without the use of ductwork. Ductless ACs use an outdoor unit very similar to a traditional split-system air conditioner in combination with individual indoor blowers instead of ducts.
What Are the Benefits to a Ductless Mini-Split System?
There a several benefits to installing a ductless air conditioner:
- No need for expensive ductwork – as the name indicates, and as stated above, no ductwork is needed for a ductless system to work. This eliminates the need to install expensive ductwork into a home without it, as well as the need to install ductwork into any addition you may add to your home.
- Automatic zone control – each blower you install is programmable, allowing owners to set an exact temperature for each room or area that it covers. This creates better comfort and energy efficiency.
- Easier installation – blowers for a ductless system are rather small andinstall easily above doorways and windows, can be mounted flush against a wall or hang from a ceiling. The blowers connect to the outside unit through a 3” hole placed in an exterior wall that will hold the conduit that connects the two components. One outside unit can support up to 4 blowers.
- Small space requirement – as stated above, the individual blowers for a ductless air conditioner are not very large, allowing for them to be mounted in spaces where larger ductwork or window air conditioners won’t work.
- Great for specialized architecture – specialized architecture, such as vaulted ceilings, can be a challenge to cool evenly. With a ductless blower, you can cool individual spaces as needed without affecting other parts of your home.
