Improve Your Indoor Air Quality With a Ductless Mini Split System

Ductless systems are also known as mini split systems. A basic mini split system is capable of heating and cooling small areas. Multiple indoor blowers can be installed, so this type of system can be used to heat many parts of a home. With a basic system, however, temperature controls are installed in each room. Multi split air conditioners offer zone control, which means that you can control the temperature of each mom through a single temp control. 

How Do Ductless Split Systems Work? 

It's easy to understand how a traditional forced-air furnace and central air conditioner works. Such equipment forces heated and cooled air through ducts that then deliver it to various parts of the home via registers. Ductless split systems don't use ducts at all. Instead, one or more outdoor units are mounted outside the home, and one or more indoor blower units are installed inside it. Suction lines, refrigerant lines and power cables run between the indoor and outdoor components. At the very most, small holes must be drilled into walls to make these connections. Indoor units may be mounted high up on walls, on ceilings or on floors. Mini split systems and multi split systems may be controlled by remote temp controls for added convenience.
