Ductless Air Conditioning
Ductless AC cools individual rooms without ductwork, connecting indoor units to a single outdoor unit for targeted cooling.
A ductless mini-split air conditioner cools individual rooms or areas without the need for ductwork. These systems are perfect for spaces where traditional ducts aren't practical, like new additions, sunrooms, garages, or areas that require extra cooling. Homeowners can connect up to five indoor units to a single outdoor unit, allowing multiple rooms to be cooled simultaneously.
How Does a Ductless Mini-Split AC Unit Work?
A ductless AC system consists of an indoor and outdoor unit, similar to central air conditioning but without ducts. The indoor unit mounts on a wall, ceiling, or floor, connecting through a small hole to the outdoor unit, which expels warm air. This setup provides efficient cooling without the need for extensive ductwork.
Types of Mini-Split Systems
Ductless systems come in various configurations, including:
- Mini-Split Air Conditioners: For cooling specific rooms.
- Mini-Split Heat Pumps: Capable of both heating and cooling.
- Ductless Zoning Systems: Tie multiple rooms together for customized temperature control.
Maintenance for Ductless Mini-Split Units
Routine maintenance for a ductless AC is similar to traditional units. Regular cleaning and troubleshooting will help extend the system's lifespan and maintain efficient performance.
