What Are Ductless Air Conditioners?

Mini-split cooling systems have two primary units — an outdoor compressor/condenser and an indoor air-distributing unit. Other parts include the conduit, which contains a power cable, refrigerant tubing and suction tubing, and a drain for condensation.

The outdoor and indoor units are linked together to perform efficient and effective cooling. Ductless mini-splits are compact and easy to install.

Ductless mini-split ACs are convenient and effective for cooling many residential, commercial, and community buildings.

Whether you’re considering installing a mini-split in a single-family home or several mini-split systems in multi-unit housing, a large apartment or condo complex, business offices, or a community performance center, ductless mini-splits may be an ideal choice.

These systems can cool entire homes, small apartments, or company meeting and conference rooms. These versatile cooling units are also very useful and effective as additional cooling sources during summer heatwaves for homes or commercial facilities that currently have ductless HVAC systems.

Benefits of Ductless HVAC Systems

Compact Size & Flexible Zoning

Mini-splits are small in size and offer flexibility in terms of zoning. Different brands and models are often available with up to four indoor air handling/distributing units, each of which is connected to a single outdoor unit and compressor/condenser.

The four indoor units can cool four separate rooms or areas of your home or office. Each room or zone will have a separate thermostat for simple and easy temperature adjustment, as needed. These indoor air handling units can be re-positioned to provide cooling for other rooms. These are just a few important and valuable benefits of a mini-split system.

Easy Installation

Ductless mini-splits are remarkably easy to install compared to other large HVAC systems. The connection between the indoor and outdoor units can be accomplished with a conduit inserted in a three-inch hole through the width of a wall.

Since mini-split manufacturing companies can supply customers with varied conduit lengths, you can place your outdoor unit up to 50 feet away from the indoor unit.

This is especially helpful when homeowners or commercial property managers want to install the compressor/condenser unit on an exterior sidewall of a building while cooling rooms in the front or back areas of a home, office building, showroom, or factory.

Energy Efficiency

Because they don’t use ducts, mini-splits don’t experience the degrees of energy loss that the ductwork used in central AC systems allows.

Energy losses due to ductwork in more traditional AC systems account for over 30% of energy consumption during use, particularly if the ducts are in a room or area that’s not being cooled.

Most mini-split users find that they’re conserving energy usage by keeping their AC running consistently during the hot, humid days and nights of the summer and turning the temperature up or down as needed.

Cost-Effectiveness

Each indoor air handling and distribution unit of your mini-split system is controlled independently, allowing you to raise or lower room (zone) temperatures as you like, by remote control.

Throughout each day and night, you can easily and conveniently cool only rooms in your home or commercial building that are being used, which will lower your monthly energy costs.

Also, if you don’t want to spend enough to cool all the zones in your home or office at the time of your initial mini-split purchase and installation, you can cool one or two zones, adding the remaining zones later. This versatility is one of the many benefits of a ductless system.

Interior Design Options

With a mini-split AC installation in your home or business, you’ll have more interior design options available. Your interior air distribution units can actually be suspended from the ceiling or hung on a wall, if necessary.

If you choose units that stand on the floor, their placement can be changed, as needed. Most interior air handling units are only about 7 inches deep and are finished with sleek, high-tech jacket designs.

Noise Control

Current brands and models of mini-split cooling units offer quiet operation. Earlier models were often somewhat noisy, especially when set to higher levels of AC for cooling. However, the fans of modern mini-splits run at lower speeds than earlier designs while providing optimal degrees of cooling throughout each zone.

Especially since the compressor/condenser is installed outside your home or commercial building, there’s less noise to contend with indoors. Ductless mini-splits, in general, provide smoother and quieter operation than most traditional AC systems.

Home Security

Because they only require small holes in the walls for connecting the outside compressor/condenser to your indoor air handling units, mini-split AC installations offer considerably more home security than ACs installed in windows or walls.

Wall AC units are easy to dislodge from outdoors, enabling an intruder to enter your home or office. Providing better home or office security is one of the important benefits of a ductless mini-split system.
