Most homes come standard with ductwork installed throughout the structure to allow for the use of a forced-air heating and AC system. But if your home, new room addition, or detached structure (such as a shed or workshop) is not currently equipped with ducts, you have to find alternative means of cooling and heating. One of the most reliable and energy-efficient solutions you can choose for this purpose is a ductless air conditioning system. Ductwork installation can be quite a hassle, but ductless units are easier and faster for a technician to install and offer many additional benefits to homeowners.

Ductless air installation involves some complicated calculations and installation techniques, which is why a professional is necessary for this job. You’ll also need professional service when you notice that your ductless unit is not working exactly as it should.

How Ductless Air Conditioners Work

So how can an air conditioner cool down a home without sending cool air through a set of ducts? Like a traditional system, a ductless AC contains an outside unit and an inside unit. The indoor air handler is mounted high up on the walls, and a fan blows cool air directly into the room. No major renovations are necessary, just a small wall opening to feed through the refrigerant line and electrical components. Refrigerant moves from the outdoor unit through the indoor air handler(s) and back again until the cooling cycle is complete.

The Benefits of Ductless AC

The chief benefit of ductless air conditioners is apparent—quality cooling with no duct installation. Another benefit is the built-in zone control. One outside unit can usually operate up to 4 indoor air handlers in different areas of the house. Each indoor air handler comes with its own thermostat, so you can control the temperature in one zone of the house independently from the other rooms. Ductless split system efficiency ratings are usually quite high—and more so because there is no chance of air leaks, a problem that develops in many ducts over time. Finally, most ductless units both heat and cool the home.
