What is a Ductless Mini-Split?
A ductless mini-split is a type of HVAC system that heats and cools individual rooms or zones without using traditional ductwork. Unlike central air systems, ductless mini-splits consist of an indoor unit mounted on a wall or ceiling and an outdoor compressor unit. These systems are perfect for:
- Homes without existing ductwork
- Rooms that need additional heating or cooling
- Garages, basements, attics, and home additions
- Improving energy efficiency and reducing utility bills
With a mini-split AC, you can control the temperature in each room independently, providing customized comfort throughout your home.
How Do They Work?
Ductless mini-splits work by transferring heat between the indoor and outdoor units. Here’s a quick breakdown of how they operate:
- Indoor Unit – Mounted inside the room to deliver heated or cooled air directly.
- Outdoor Unit – Houses the compressor and condenser, located outside the home.
- Refrigerant Lines – Connect the indoor and outdoor units, allowing refrigerant to transfer heat.
- Remote Control – Adjust temperature settings and modes with a remote or smartphone app.
Differences from Traditional Systems:
- No Ductwork – Reduces energy loss associated with ducts.
- Zoned Control – Individual room control for personalized comfort.
- Easy Installation – Faster and less invasive compared to central air systems.
How Are They Installed?
Installing a ductless mini split is simpler and quicker than installing a traditional HVAC system. Here’s an overview of the installation process:
- Mount the Indoor Unit – Typically placed high on a wall or ceiling for optimal airflow.
- Place the Outdoor Unit – Installed outside your home on a stable surface.
- Connect Refrigerant Lines – Small pipes run through a 3-inch hole in the wall to connect the indoor and outdoor units.
- Electrical Wiring – Connect the system to your home’s electrical supply.
- System Testing – Ensure everything works properly and efficiently.
Our technicians at Arctic Air Conditioning provide professional mini-split AC installations, ensuring your system is set up safely and efficiently.
