What Is a Mini Split AC?
A mini split air conditioner, also known as a ductless air conditioner or ductless mini split, is a highly efficient, zone-based cooling and heating solution that doesn't require traditional ductwork. It consists of an outdoor compressor and one or more indoor air handling units connected by refrigerant lines.
Mini splits are ideal for older homes without ducts, room additions, garages, or any space needing a personalized comfort solution.
Benefits of Mini Split Systems
- Flexible Zoning – Customize temperatures in individual rooms or areas.
- High Efficiency – Use less energy than central HVAC systems.
- No Ductwork Needed – Perfect for homes without existing ducts.
- Improved Indoor Air Quality – Avoids the dust and allergens common in ducted systems.
- Quiet Operation – Whisper-quiet indoor units enhance comfort without noise.
- Compact Design – Sleek, modern units blend into your décor.
