Ductless systems use alternating current electricity to power their equipment, which converts it to direct current that is directed through the air handlers inside your home. The air handlers require a fraction of power to cool the entire home, as they don’t need to work as hard in order to regulate temperatures and move air. This lets the system attain higher SEER ratings than a conventional AC system that doesn’t have a dedicated ductless unit.

Furthermore, it takes approximately 3 inches of space on your floors, walls and ceilings to run the necessary lines from the outdoor unit to each indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting that is required by a HVAC system.

Each air handler in your home works independently from the others, which means you can cool your bedrooms, while leaving the living area at a warmer temperature and conserving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler also has its own programmable thermostat which allows you to fine-tune the temperature based on the preferences of each family member.

The ductless system functions similar to a heat pump however, it does not have air ducts. The indoor unit, sometimes called an air handler, blows air on the evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs the heat from the air, is then released outside through tiny holes in your ceiling or wall. The air handler is mounted in a variety of places such as garages, attics, or even a home addition.

Mini-split ductless systems are used as standalone units or combined to cool the entire home. They’re ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing house, as well as renovations or new construction that do not have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re also an excellent choice for homes with low ceilings such as in a converted attic or garage.

A single-zone ductless unit is usually enough to cool homes with small spaces, and connects only one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers via the use of a single condenser. This lets you individually regulate the temperature of each room, which is particularly suitable for homes with a large number of rooms.
