In a ductless mini-split air conditioning system, an air handler (shown) is wall- or ceiling-mounted in one or more rooms. Many can heat air as well as cool it.
Here's a problem: You'd like to install a central air conditioning system in your house, but there is no existing forced-air ductwork system to distribute the cooled air.
While it is possible to retrofit a ductwork system, this work can be expensive and disruptive to the home and floor plan, especially in a multi-story house.
Dr. Energy Saver has a better solution. Ductless air conditioners can provide the same comfort and energy savings as central AC, and is a much more realistic process than trying to install an entire ductwork system. Contact your local Dr. Energy Saver to see how ductless AC would operate in your home!
Today, ductless air conditioning systems offer a very cost-effective alternative to conventional central AC systems that rely on ductwork for whole-house distribution of cooled air. Ductless AC systems are also referred to as "ductless mini-split" systems or "ductless mini-split heat pumps," when the system provides heating as well as air conditioning.
In a ductless AC system, the compressor/condenser unit is installed outside the house, while one or more small air handler units are permanently mounted on the wall or ceiling. Each air handler is supplied with electricity, refrigerant lines and a condensate drain line. A typical air handler has remote as well as console controls, and blows conditioned air into the room.
A ductless heat pump is a great option for homeowners who want the comfort and convenience of central air conditioning in a house that doesn't have a ductwork system. Since only small-diameter refrigerant lines need to be run through the wall of the house, system installation is usually fairly easy.
