Ductless Air Conditioning FAQs
Q: What is a ductless mini-split system?
A: Ductless mini-split air conditioning systems are an excellent option for whole-home or zoned air conditioning. A mini-split air conditioner is made up of one outdoor unit and one sleek, unobtrusive indoor unit that can be affixed to any interior wall. Depending on your preferences and the size of the building, you can have multiple indoor units installed.
Q: How does ductless mini-split air conditioning work?
A: The outdoor unit and indoor unit(s) work together to provide efficient and even cooling. The defining feature of ductless mini-splits is that they require no central ductwork to distribute the cool air. Instead of blowing cool air through duct vents, like central A/C, the cool air is blown from the interior unit(s) in your home.

Q: Can a ductless mini-split keep my entire house cool?

Conversely, ductless mini-splits are also great for cooling single rooms or parts of the house that are beyond your ductwork, like additions or attics.
