Ductless Cooling

A ductless cooling system, or mini-split system, features individual, wall-mounted blowers that provide precise temperature control in any one room or area. Instead of traditional ductwork, these units are connected by a refrigerant line set to a single outdoor condensing unit. They are commonly used for multi-family homes, new room additions, or as add-ons to other cooling systems.

Ductless cooling systems offer many advantages over traditional HVAC systems. One of the biggest benefits is that ductless systems allow for zoned cooling, which means you can set different temperatures for each room. This is perfect for households with multiple occupants who have different temperature preferences or rooms with unique temperature requirements. By using zoned cooling, you can reduce your energy consumption significantly. For instance, if you like your bedroom to be cooler at night, you can easily control the temperature of that room without wasting energy cooling the entire house when the other rooms are not in use. Additionally, ductless systems come with built-in air filters that can improve the air quality in your home, making it an excellent choice for people with allergies or asthma. Ductless cooling systems are also relatively easy to install and can be installed in homes that do not have traditional ductwork.

With flexible placement options and a compact size, ductless cooling units are more discreet and visually pleasing than other add-on units, such as window air conditioners. Indoor units are often less than 12” deep and produce less noise than traditional HVAC systems, making them an unobtrusive option for cooling your home. Most ductless cooling units are wall-mounted and include a wireless remote control so you can easily adjust the temperature to your liking from anywhere in the room.
