How Does a Ductless Mini-Split Work?
Like central air conditioners, ductless AC systems have outdoor condensers that house condenser coils, a compressor, and a fan. Central AC systems have a larger indoor air handler, while ductless mini-splits have multiple smaller indoor air handlers.
Each indoor unit has an evaporator coil, air filter, fan, and thermostat and is connected to the outdoor condenser by electrical cables and refrigerant lines instead of ductwork. The system takes the air from your home and blows it over the evaporator coils while refrigerant absorbs heat from the air.
Ductless Mini-Split Installation & Replacement
Due to their compact size and lack of ductwork, ductless mini-splits are especially great for smaller homes, detached garages, and home additions. When you install a ductless system, you can expect the following benefits:
- Energy-efficient cooling
- Quieter operation
- Heating capabilities for some systems
- Precise temperature control for each room or zone
- Simple installation
You can expect a new ductless mini-split to last 10 to 15 years with proper installation and routine maintenance. Our technicians can work with you to design a system with the right number and placement of air handlers to adequately cool your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are ductless mini-splits different from heat pumps?
Ductless mini-splits can be heat pumps that are used to heat and cool your home, but all heat pumps aren’t ductless mini-splits, as many use ductwork.
Your HVAC technician can help you determine which system is right for your home and budget.
Can I install a ductless mini-split myself?
Although installing a ductless mini-split is simpler than ducted systems, it should still be installed by an experienced and licensed HVAC technician due to the complex wiring and refrigerant lines.
A professional will ensure your system is properly installed so you can maintain the terms of your system’s warranty.
Do I need a mini-split in every room?
You don’t need a mini-split in every room. Your HVAC technician can help you determine where to install air handlers, whether you want to cool your entire home or individual spaces like home additions, detached garages, or in-law suites.
How do you clean ductless mini-split filters?
Remove them from the air handler, then rinse them with cold water until the water runs clear and let dry. Once completely dry, you can reinstall the filter.
