What Is a Ductless Mini-Split?

Ductless air conditioners and heat pumps combine one outdoor unit with several indoor ones. Unlike central AC, which uses ductwork to transport cooled or heated air, these systems are mounted on an interior wall and control the room HVAC directly. The power and compression for these units is provided by the larger outdoor unit. Wires and refrigerant lines connect the indoor system to the outdoor unit. Unlike central AC units, individual mini-splits can be set independently to provide room-by-room comfort.

Though you often hear ‘heat pump’ used interchangeably with ‘mini-splits’, the two are not exactly the same. While there are ductless heat pump systems, there are also ducted ones. When it comes to installation costs and individual room comfort in Novato, ductless mini-splits are a great choice.

The Benefits of Going Ductless in San Rafael and Novato

When it comes to maintaining a comfortable indoor environment, especially in larger homes with multiple levels, choosing the right cooling system is paramount. Many homeowners find themselves grappling with the limitations of central air conditioning systems, which can struggle to evenly distribute cool air throughout the entire house. In such scenarios, a ductless mini-split AC system emerges as a game-changer, offering a range of benefits that go beyond traditional cooling methods:

• Lower Cooling Costs: If your home is multi-level or extremely large, a central AC system can struggle to provide top-notch comfort. Mini-split systems extend the footprint of your system while allowing you to modulate where and when you cool.
• Enhanced Flexibility: Is your bedroom too hot and your living room an icebox? Ductless mini-split systems can be adjusted on a room-by-room basis. This enables HVAC zoning at scale.
• Simple Installation: Easier to install than central systems, mini-split units can provide comfort at a lower price point. This simplifies the process of expanding your HVAC footprint.
