A ductless system, also called a ductless mini-split, delivers heating and cooling without traditional ductwork. It uses an outdoor compressor connected to one or more indoor air handlers by refrigerant lines, allowing each space to be controlled independently. Ductless systems are known for high efficiency, flexible installation, and targeted comfort with minimal visual impact, making them ideal for older homes, additions, or spaces where ducts are impractical.
