Do you need to add air conditioning to a space with no ductwork? A ductless mini-split system offers an affordable alternative to the high cost of adding a duct system. Ductless mini-split systems are available either for air conditioning only or for both heating and cooling in one unit, similar to a heat pump.

Ductless AC systems have quickly become popular in West Palm Beach and throughout the Palm Beach County area for their ability to provide air conditioning to any space without ductwork.
Ductless mini-split systems are commonly installed in enclosed sunrooms, converted garages, home additions, bonus rooms, home offices, and any space that does not have existing ductwork.
A mini-split system will last around the same amount of time a central cooling system will if you take good care of it: as long as 20 or 25 years. Because these systems are smaller, they are typically less prone to problems than their full-size central cooling counterparts. However, we do recommend maintaining your mini-splits with annual AC maintenance services. Doing so will improve longevity.
In short, we wouldn’t recommend cooling more than one room with a mini-split air conditioner. However, Modern mini-split systems are actually designed to work together to cool multiple zones through the use of several different systems.
Several systems can typically be connected to one compressor for optimal energy efficiency and space-saving, and adding these systems offers great temperature control and flexibility by only requiring you to use your cooling system in rooms you are actually using.
A single unit does not have the cooling capacity of a typical central AC system, but by combining several units together in unique, individual zones, your entire home can be more comfortable and cooler while you could save tremendously on your energy bills!
The simple answer: exactly like a central air conditioning system would. In fact, their operating principles are exactly the same: they use refrigerant to move heat from inside your home to the outdoor environment. However, because they are at a much smaller scale compared to a central cooling system, they cost less and fit into much smaller spaces. This also makes them much quieter and more energy-efficient too.

The most obvious benefit of a ductless mini-split AC system is that no ducts are required. If you are building a new addition or don’t have ducts in your home and need air conditioning, a ductless system may provide the perfect solution to your problem. This type of unit is also great for smaller spaces where there isn’t room to install ductwork.
Ductless mini-splits work like other central air conditioning systems with an indoor air handler and a separate outdoor unit. Installation requires a small three-inch hole to run the wires from the air handler to the outdoor unit. You can even create zoned areas throughout your home or commercial space using multiple indoor air handlers. Ask our West Palm Beach ductless mini-split system experts to learn how.
