First things first, what is a ductless mini-split?

A ductless mini-split works much like a conventional HVAC system, but with the major difference that it does not use air ducts to route air throughout the home. A traditional HVAC system distributes air throughout the house from a single unit, making installation a longer process and can sometimes waste energy by heating or cooling rooms that aren’t often occupied. With a ductless mini-split, you will be able to cool or heat only the places you spend time in most, which simplifies installation.

How does it work?

It works the same as traditional air conditioning systems. The outdoor unit draws air in and pushes air out through one or two vents. Some air conditioners have vents on the side and rear, so you may need to mount the air conditioner a foot or two away from the outside wall of your home. Mini-split systems rely on an outdoor unit combined with a small wall-mounted unit inside the space you want to heat and cool. Most homes have multiple indoor heads. The only modification that is made for proper operation is a small hole through the wall so that the flexible tube that carries air and power to the indoor unit can function properly. It’s very unobtrusive; the pipe is only a few inches in diameter and is a quick and easy installation.
