A ductless mini-split system is a heating and cooling setup that does not rely on traditional ductwork to distribute air. It includes an outdoor compressor/condenser connected to one or more indoor air handlers by refrigerant lines and wiring. Each indoor unit operates independently, allowing zoned temperature control in different rooms or areas. Ductless mini-splits are efficient, easier to install than ducted systems, and ideal for additions, renovations, or spaces where ductwork is impractical.

What is a ductless mini-split system?
It is a heating and cooling system that uses an outdoor unit connected to one or more indoor air handlers, delivering zoned comfort without ducts.

Mini-splits deliver room-by-room comfort without ducts.
In homes with hydronic or electric baseboard heat, a ductless mini-split adds efficient air conditioning and supplemental heating without extending ductwork. It is also a strong option for sunrooms, garages, attics, or additions where targeted comfort is needed.
To maximize efficiency and lifespan, ensure the indoor and outdoor units are properly sized and installed by a qualified HVAC technician. Regular maintenance, including filter cleaning and refrigerant checks, keeps performance high.

Ductless mini-splits are especially popular in regions where older buildings or space limits make ducted systems difficult to install.
Can a ductless mini-split heat and cool my home?
Yes. Most mini-splits provide both heating and cooling, and can handle a single room or multiple zones depending on the system size.
How many indoor units can one outdoor unit support?
It depends on the model, but many outdoor units can support two to eight indoor heads, each controlled independently.
Do ductless mini-splits improve indoor air quality?
They can. By avoiding ductwork, they reduce dust buildup and eliminate duct leakage that can pull in pollutants.
