Question

What Is A Ductless Mini-Split System?

A ductless mini-split system is a type of heating and cooling system that doesn’t require ductwork to distribute conditioned air throughout a building. It uses small, indoor units that are connected to an outdoor unit through a conduit. This allows for greater flexibility in use.

The indoor units are typically mounted on the wall or ceiling and are connected to the outdoor unit by a small conduit that contains refrigerant lines, a power cable, and a drain line. The refrigerant flows between the indoor and outdoor units, absorbing heat from the indoor air and releasing it outside.

The mini-split ductless HVAC system is known for its flexibility and energy efficiency, as it allows for zone heating and cooling and eliminates the energy losses associated with ductwork. It is often used in homes and commercial buildings where ductwork is not possible or desirable, such as in older buildings or in rooms where adding ductwork is difficult or expensive.

The Benefits

Benefits Of Mini-Split Ductless Systems

There are several benefits of mini-split ductless systems that make them a better option over traditional HVAC systems. Here are some of the benefits of mini-split ductless systems:

  • Energy efficiency: Mini-split ductless systems are highly efficient because they use inverter-driven compressors and do not have the energy losses associated with ductwork. This can lead to lower energy bills and reduced carbon emissions.
  • Highly programmable: Mini-split ductless systems can be installed in a variety of configurations, making them a great option for retrofitting older buildings or adding HVAC to new additions. They also allow for zone heating and cooling, which means you can control the temperature in different areas of your home independently.
  • Easy installation: Unlike traditional HVAC systems that require ductwork, mini-split ductless systems are easier and quicker to install. They only require a small conduit to connect the indoor and outdoor units, which can be run through a small hole in the wall.
  • Improved indoor air quality: Mini-split ductless systems have advanced filtration systems that can remove dust, pollen, and other pollutants from the air, leading to better indoor air quality.
  • Quiet operation: Mini-split ductless systems are typically quieter than traditional HVAC systems because the compressor and condenser are located outside the building.
  • Cost-effective: Although the upfront cost of a mini-split ductless system may be higher than a traditional HVAC system, the long-term savings in energy bills and maintenance costs can make it a cost-effective option over time.
  • Unique aesthetic: We understand the importance of beautifying your home, and keeping themes and styles in every area as you like. You don’t need the inconvenience of working around large in-room units that distract the unique decoration of your home. The small indoor units are also easy to decorate and design around, blending into the decor of any room.

Our Process

Mini-Split Installation Process

The installation process for a ductless mini-split system is relatively simple. A small hole is made in the wall for the conduit that connects the outdoor unit to the indoor unit. The indoor and outdoor units are then connected and the system is charged with refrigerant.

The final step is to test the system to ensure that it is working properly. The process usually takes a day or two, depending on the size of the system and the complexity of the installation.

Maintenance

Mini-Split Repair & Maintenance

Ductless mini-split systems require regular maintenance to ensure that they are working properly and efficiently. This includes cleaning and replacing filters, checking the refrigerant levels, and ensuring that all of the components are working properly. If any issues are found, they can usually be repaired quickly and easily by a trained technician.

Pricing

Mini-Split Pricing vs. Standard Systems

Ductless mini-split systems are generally more expensive than traditional HVAC systems, but the advantages over time, may outweigh the price against a traditional system. The cost of the system also depends on the size and complexity of the installation, but it can be an investment that pays off long-term.

Our certified technicians will help you weigh your options, and determine what would be the most cost-effective for your home and family. Our aim is to keep you safe, comfortable, and give you an affordable option that will bring you peace of mind for many years ahead.
