It’s all in the name! This type of cooling system skips the ductwork (ductless). Cooling refrigerant is transferred between the indoor and outdoor units that are “split” on either side of an exterior wall. The thermodynamic principles are the same as a traditional air conditioner without needing to blow the air to different areas of your home.
The units are connected with a conduit through a small hole in the wall containing electrical wires and refrigerant tubing. Heat is removed and transferred to the outdoors when air passes over the inside unit (AC head). Learn more about Ductless Air Conditioning in our resource center.
Each indoor unit has a capacity for the amount of space it can keep climate-controlled. But it’s important to know that multiple indoor units can be installed in different rooms. These heads can all connect to the same outdoor condenser unit.
This is known as a multi-split AC system. Typically, up to 5 AC heads can be installed with a single outdoor condenser. So if you’re looking to cool a couple of bedrooms, your living room, and the kitchen, this is a very manageable install.
Yes! Some ducted AC systems experience up to 30% energy loss. In a ducted system, energy must be used to disperse cool air around the building. Central AC can also lose some cool air to ducts that have cracks, holes, or gaps.
Ductless air conditioning provides climate control only in rooms you want. So instead of sending cool air to every vent in your home, a mini split system cools only the space surrounding the indoor blower unit.
So energy-efficient, yes. But ductless AC is limited by the size of space a single head can keep cool in hot weather.
Not every building structure is a prime candidate for ductless AC. But in the right spaces, mini split air conditioning has many benefits. These include:
