Ductless Systems
Although the majority of homes have ductwork installed, there are many older homes as well as new designs that lack ducts. These homes can still enjoy the benefits of a heat pump through a ductless mini split system. You can ask Affordable Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. about the benefits of these systems and arrange for installation, repair, maintenance, or any other job you need done.

How Do Ductless Systems Work?
Ductless mini splits are types of heat pumps, so they can either deliver heating or cooling for a home depending on the direction they circulate refrigerant. Unlike standard heat pumps, which have a single indoor unit connected to ductwork, a ductless mini split heat pump uses multiple indoor units. These air handlers are mounted on the walls of rooms where they send conditioned air directly into the space. They connect to the single outdoor unit through refrigerant and power lines that pass through the back wall.
Ductless Systems Are Perfect for Older Homes and Additions
The majority of homes built pre-1970 lack ductwork. Although it’s possible to add ducts in order to install central heating and cooling, it’s cumbersome and expensive. Opting for a ductless system takes away all the obstacles: our technicians can have your home hooked up for comfort around the year with minimal changes.
This flexibility works for room additions. Instead of trying to connect your existing HVAC system to the new space and upgrading it to handle the extra area, you can instead connect a single ductless mini split with a low-profile outdoor unit. Presto! The new space has heating and cooling.
Benefits of Installing a Ductless Mini-Split System
Along with the flexibility of allowing homes without ducts to enjoy whole-house comfort and making it easier to heat and cool room additions, ductless mini splits have several benefits:
- High energy efficiency: Ductless units have smaller motors than ducted systems, lowering their energy consumption. They also don’t lose or gain heat through duct walls.
- Zone control: Each wall-mounted unit can be controlled separately from the others via a remote control. You only need to use units in rooms that are occupied.
- Improve indoor air quality: Without dust-collecting ducts, a home will enjoy fresher, cleaner air.
- Remodeling: It’s far easier to remodel a home when you don’t have to worry about the ductwork—you can just put in ductless mini splits.
