How Does a Ductless Mini-Split Work?
Ductless AC functions like an air conditioner, except they provide targeted cooling to areas of your home or business without ductwork. They consist of an outdoor compressor connected to one or more wall-mounted indoor air handlers.
This allows for personalized comfort settings in different rooms, also called temperature zoning, which enhances energy efficiency. Some ductless mini-splits, also known as ductless heat pumps, can provide heating as well as cooling.
Ideal for spaces where traditional HVAC systems might be impractical, ductless mini-splits offer a versatile and effective solution for your comfort needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of ductless mini-splits?
Ductless mini-splits offer several benefits:
- They allow for temperature zoning, enabling different rooms to be set at various temperatures.
- They work for homes without ductwork, room additions, or other areas where traditional HVAC systems aren’t feasible.
- They operate quietly.
- They reduce energy costs.
How long do ductless mini-splits last?
Ductless mini-splits typically have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. Factors like usage patterns, maintenance frequency, and the quality of installation can significantly influence their lifespan.
Expert installation, regular maintenance, and prompt repairs will help your ductless mini-split operate efficiently for as long as possible.
How are ductless mini-splits different from heat pumps?
Ductless mini-splits can function as heat pumps, providing both heating and cooling. However, not all heat pumps are ductless; some require ductwork to distribute heated or cooled air throughout a building.
This key distinction makes ductless mini-splits more flexible and efficient for targeted climate control in specific areas or rooms.
Why is my mini-split not blowing cold air?
If your mini-split isn’t blowing cold air, it could be due to several reasons:
- You could have a refrigerant leak that needs repair.
- You could have dirty air filters that need to be cleaned.
- You have a faulty compressor that needs to be replaced.
- The thermostat fan is off instead of on auto.
- The thermostat temperature is set too high for the unit to turn on.
Turn to your HVAC technician for a thorough inspection to identify the problem and repair it as quickly as possible.
