Too many people rely on fans and window AC units and don’t get adequate cooling. And while you might think a high-quality air conditioner costs a lot of money and requires tearing up your home to add ductwork, the truth is a ductless mini split system offers plenty of benefits and few of the negatives that come with other home cooling systems.

What Is a Ductless Mini Split AC System?
A ductless mini split system is a heating and cooling system that gives you total control over the temperatures in each separate room or space. These systems have two primary components: an outdoor compressor/condenser and the indoor air handling unit.
What Are the Advantages of a Ductless Mini Split System?
The big advantage of these systems is homeowners can get whole-home cooling without the hassle, expense, and mess of installing a full-blown central AC system with ductwork. Also, with a ductless system, you can control the temperature in each room individually, which gives you greater flexibility and saves money. And, with no invasive ductwork, these systems are much cheaper to install. Last, since up to 30% of energy is lost via ductwork in a conventional central air system, the ductless mini split air conditioner is more energy efficient and saves you money on your energy bill.
