A ductless mini split system functions as a heat pump, transferring heat through indoor units inside your home and releasing that energy through an outdoor unit. Outdoor units can be installed discreetly along the rear of your home. Indoor air handlers can be mounted to provide comfort to a single room or multi-zone mini splits can be used to provide customized temperatures throughout an entire home. The installation process is far less invasive than adding central air conditioning to an older home.
How a Ductless Mini Split System Works
Aside from not requiring air ducts to circulate air, ductless mini split systems function very similarly to conventional furnaces and air conditioning units. The systems can be controlled by a thermostat. Contemporary systems can even use smart thermostats and provide direct control using a smartphone app. Running solely on electricity these heat pumps use pressure to capture heat from within your home. The energy is transferred through refrigerants and released outside your home. This eliminates the dependency on window units to provide cooling comfort.
Many homeowners are delighted to learn that ductless mini-split systems also heat your spaces. During warming mode, these devices reverse operations. Heat is removed from outdoor air and transferred into your home. The indoor unit releases energy and circulates air to warm your room. This feature improves comfort and even promotes safety for your family. Space heaters and other portable heating sources are no longer required.
