What Is a Ductless Mini-Split Air Conditioning Unit?

Mini-split AC units feature both a condenser unit positioned outside the home and an air-handling unit located indoors. The air-handling unit houses the system's evaporator or cooling coil. The air-handling unit itself is generally installed in a place such as a ceiling or wall, and it resembles a room air conditioner that measures only a few inches deep.

With a ductless air conditioner installed in your home, one outdoor unit can provide the power to serve several indoor air-handling units. Instead of needing to make a large hole in the wall for installation — an arrangement that's typical for room air conditioners — just a 3-inch opening provides enough space needed for a power connection, refrigerant tubing, and other lines needed to connect the air-handling unit and condenser. These lines generally run along the exterior of the house. Some ductless mini-split units can also provide heat to homes.

What Benefits Do Ductless Mini-Split Units Offer?

Ductless mini-split air conditioners offer several advantages for homeowners seeking efficient, flexible cooling comfort for their homes.

Individualized Comfort: Since each ductless mini-split unit is its own self-contained system, all members of your household can adjust the temperatures based on their preferences.
Energy-Efficient Cooling: Over time, your home's ductwork can develop leaks and gaps in the ductwork. Since ductless mini-split units don't rely on a home's ductwork, you don't need to worry about ductwork problems impacting your system's energy efficiency. Some ductless air conditioning systems can deliver energy efficiencies up to 30 SEER.
Simplified Installation: Installing a new ductless mini-split unit in your home requires only about a day of labor, which can significantly save you money on installation costs.
