What is a Ductless Mini-Split Air Conditioner?

When you own a home, you may find that in the summer, it can be pretty difficult to keep things cool. Many people depend on using an air conditioning unit to keep things comfortable but air conditioners can be big and bulky and can look rather unsightly in your home. They also require ducts placed in your window or through a wall and that can be even worse, but fortunately there is a better way to cool your home with an air conditioner and it won’t look ugly. There are ductless mini-split air conditioners available, and while they are a bit pricey, they are worth every penny.

How does a ductless mini-split work?

A ductless system uses copper tubing and electrical wiring that connects an indoor unit with an outdoor unit. Refrigerant liquid is pumped from the outdoor unit’s condenser coil and compressor into the tubing until it reaches the indoor unit or units. You will see that a fan then works to quietly distribute cool air across the unit’s evaporator coil. You will use a remote control to control the amount of cold air that is being disbursed into your room. If there are multiple areas of your home being used, you will see that one can maintain a completely different temperature than another so that everyone is satisfied.

Why You Need a Ductless Mini-Split

There are many benefits of a ductless mini-split air conditioner. They are far less complicated and less costly to install than a central air system. You will also see that the loudest, noisiest components are isolated outside, making more room indoors. This also reduces noise pollution significantly. These are the most effective and the most efficient add on systems you can buy and unlike a central air system, they allow you to control which areas receive the most and least cool air. You don’t have to worry about having a big hole in your wall when you have one of these wonderful systems installed, as the hole will only be between 2 and 3 inches in diameter. These systems are very energy efficient as well.

You will find that installing one of these systems is not extremely difficult, but it is something that you will probably want to hire an HVAC professional to do for you unless you are an extreme DIYer. It should take less than a day for the installation process to be complete and you will be able to use your air conditioner in no time once it’s installed properly. All units come pre-charged so there is never any wait.
