What is a ductless, mini-split AC system?

Like regular central A/C systems, ductless mini-split A/C systems place the noisy compressor and condenser outside of your home. But, one major benefit of ductless AC systems is that they require no basement- or attic-located evaporator units and they eliminate the need for bulky ductwork by using thin copper tubing to pump refrigerant directly to discreet wall-mounted blowers inside your home. Unlike central A/C systems, ductless mini-split systems work in reverse during winter, absorbing heat from the air outside and moving it inside to heat your home for efficient year-round cooling and heating. And, ductless A/C systems come in a range of capacities and configurations to fit even the most difficult spaces.

  • Remote control - optional wired remote lets you control temperatures in different rooms or zones of the home.
  • Energy efficiency - no ductwork means you lose less than 5% cooling vs. up to 40% for traditional central A/C systems, with increased efficiencies up to 27.2-SEER for lower utility bills.
  • Helps you go green - R410A refrigerant is most systems is designed to be environmentally friendly.
