What Is a Ductless Mini Split?

A ductless mini split is a comprehensive heating and cooling solution. It is a “split” system like a heat pump or air conditioner, and it circulates refrigerant from the indoor evaporator/air handler to the outdoor compressor/condenser to input and remove thermal energy from the home, depending on what time of year it is.

Its most distinctive design feature is its lack of ductwork. Instead of having ductwork as an intermediary between you and the cooled and heated air, the indoor unit sits directly in the living space. This means that there will be multiple indoor units distributed throughout the home for every outdoor unit.

Ductless Mini Split Installation

The installation of a ductless mini split system must be carried out by an HVAC professional just like any other type of system. In this, it is no different than a heat pump or a furnace.
