How Ductless Mini-Splits Operate
Ductless mini-split systems function independently of ductwork. Similar to a heat pump system, these systems consist of an indoor air handling unit and an outdoor compressor/condenser unit.
Rather than being connected to ductwork, the outdoor unit links directly to the indoor mini-split unit, providing heating or cooling directly to the indoor space.
The indoor unit is connected via a small 3-inch conduit in the wall to the refrigerant line, power cable, suction tubing, and condensate drain line.
They have the following benefits:
- Separate Controls
- Compact Size and Versatility
- Ease of Maintenance & Installation
- No Ducts, No Duct Leaks
- Enhanced Safety & Security
Before Installing Ductless Mini-Split Systems in Your Home, Consider Important Factors Such As:
- Higher Initial Costs—While installation is relatively straightforward for qualified HVAC professionals, ductless mini-split systems generally involve higher upfront expenses compared to other HVAC systems. However, lower operating costs, rebates, and incentives can help offset these initial costs.
- Professional Installation—It is crucial to engage a competent HVAC contractor to ensure proper installation, avoiding potential issues like short cycling and energy inefficiencies caused by an improperly sized unit.
- Aesthetic Considerations—Although less obtrusive than window units, ductless mini-split systems are visible and lack the seamless appearance of conventional vents. Additionally, a drain condensate line near the outdoor unit is necessary.
For larger homes, ductless mini-split systems offer the advantage of multiple zones, enabling independent temperature control in various rooms. They are also an excellent choice for home expansions and properties without existing ductwork.
