What is a Ductless Split Air Conditioner?
This type of AC system does not use ductwork to distribute cool air. Some older homes don’t have the ductwork necessary for a modern ducted AC system. This is where a ductless system is useful. A ductless split system may have multiple heads or indoor units that cool the air. These units may be mounted on a wall, floor or even ceiling. Each head cools the air in the room where it’s installed, allowing you to set different temperatures for each unit and room. This zoning capability provides precise temperature control and improved energy efficiency compared to traditional systems. The condensate drain, refrigerant tubing and power cable runs between the indoor heads and the outdoor unit. A small hole in the exterior wall is required to run the conduit between the indoor and outdoor units.
