What is the purpose of the ductless mini-split system?

The purpose of a ductless mini-split system is to provide efficient heating and cooling without the need for extensive ductwork. This type of system consists of an outdoor compressor and one or more indoor air-handling units that can be mounted on walls or ceilings. Since they don't rely on ducts, these systems are particularly beneficial in buildings where traditional ductwork is impractical, such as in older homes or additions.

Additionally, ductless mini-splits allow for zoned temperature control, providing flexibility to heat or cool specific areas or rooms independently, which can lead to greater energy efficiency. This system is designed to efficiently transfer refrigerant between the indoor and outdoor units, enabling both heating and cooling functions as required.

By focusing on reducing the need for ducts, this technology can significantly minimize energy loss often associated with ducted systems, ultimately enhancing comfort and efficiency for occupants.
