Ductless Mini Split AC Systems are convenient and effective for cooling the interiors of many residential, commercial, and community buildings today. Whether you are considering installing a mini-split in a single-family home or a number of mini split ac systems in multi-unit housing, a large apartment or condo complex, business offices, or a community performance center, ductless mini splits may be an ideal choice.

They can cool entire homes, small apartments, or company meeting and conference rooms. These versatile cooling units are also very useful and effective as additional cooling sources during summer heatwaves for homes or commercial facilities that currently have ductless air control (heating and cooling) system installations.

Mini-split cooling systems have two primary units—an outdoor compressor/condenser and an indoor air-distributing unit. Other parts include the conduit, which contains a power cable, refrigerant tubing and suction tubing, and a drain for condensation. These outdoor and indoor units are linked together for performing efficient and effective cooling functions. These units are compact and easy to install.

Benefits

Compact Size and Flexible Zoning:
Mini-splits are small in size and offer flexibility in terms of zoning. Different brands and models are often available with up to four indoor air handling/distributing units, each of which is connected to a single outdoor unit and compressor/condenser. The four indoor units can cool four separate rooms or areas of your home or office. Each room or zone will have a separate thermostat for simple and easy temperature adjustment, as needed. These indoor air handling units can be re-positioned as required to provide cooling for other rooms. These are just a few important and useful benefits of a mini-split system.

Easy Installation
The ease with which ductless mini systems can be installed in comparison with other types of residential and commercial space heating/cooling systems is remarkable. The connection between the indoor and outdoor system units can be accomplished with a conduit inserted in a three-inch hole through the width of a wall. Since mini-split manufacturing companies can supply customers with varied conduit lengths, you can actually place your outdoor unit up to 50 feet away from the indoor unit. This is especially helpful when homeowners or commercial property managers want to install the compressor/condenser unit on an exterior sidewall of a building while cooling rooms are located in the front or back areas of a home, office building, showroom, or factory.

Energy Efficiency
Because they are designed without ducts, these mini-split systems do not experience the degrees of energy loss that the ductwork used in central air conditioning systems allows. Energy losses due to ductwork in more traditional air conditioning systems account for over 30 percent of energy consumption during use, particularly if the ducts are located in a room or area that is not being cooled. Most mini-split users find that they are actually conserving energy usage by keeping their AC running consistently during the hot, humid days and nights of the summer months and turning the temperature up or down as needed.

Cost-Effectiveness
Each indoor air handling and distribution unit of your mini-split system is controlled independently, allowing you to raise or lower room (zone) temperatures as you like, by remote control. Throughout each day and night, you can easily and conveniently cool only rooms in your home or commercial building that are actually being used, which will lower your monthly energy costs. Also, if you do not wish to spend the funds necessary to cool all the zones in your home or office at the time of your initial mini-split purchase and installation, you can cool one or two zones, adding the remaining zones at a later time. This versatility is one of the many benefits of a ductless system.

Interior Design Options
With a mini-split AC system installation in your home or place of business, you will have more interior design options available for your selection. Your interior air distribution units can actually be suspended from the ceiling or hung on a wall, if necessary. If you choose units that stand on the floor, their placement can be changed, as needed. The majority of interior air handling units are only about seven inches deep and are finished with sleek, high-tech jacket designs.

Noise Control
Current brands and models of mini-split cooling units offer quiet operation. Earlier models often were somewhat noisy, especially when set for the higher levels of AC for cooling your home or commercial interiors. However, the fans of these modern mini-splits run at lower speeds than some earlier designs, while providing optimal degrees of cooling throughout each zone. Especially since the compressor/condenser is installed outside your home or commercial building, there is less noise to contend with indoors. Ductless split systems, in general, provide more smooth and quiet operation than the majority of traditional AC systems have the capacity to offer.

Home Security

Because they only require small holes in the walls of your home or commercial building for connecting the outside compressor/condenser to your indoor air handling units, mini split AC installations actually offer considerably more home security than air conditioning units installed in your windows or walls. Wall AC units are especially easy to dislodge from outdoors, enabling an intruder to enter your home or offices quietly, most likely unnoticed.

Experienced thieves and burglars who are slender have often trained themselves to contort their bodies, which can allow them to squeeze through small spaces in order to gain unauthorized entrance to a home or commercial facility to remove valuable personal or company property. Providing better home or office security is certainly one of the important benefits of a mini-split system.
