WHAT IS A DUCTLESS MINI SPLIT SYSTEM?

A ductless mini split system, also known as a ductless air conditioner or ductless heat pump, is a type of HVAC system that doesn’t require ductwork. Instead, it consists of an outdoor compressor/condenser unit and one or more indoor air-handling units, connected by a small conduit.

 

The indoor units deliver conditioned air directly into the room or zone they serve, while the outdoor unit pumps refrigerant and expels heat outside. Each indoor unit has its own thermostat, allowing for individual temperature control in different areas of the building.

BENEFITS OF DUCTLESS MINI SPLIT SYSTEMS

There are many reasons why ductless mini splits have become increasingly popular in Tampa and throughout Florida:

 

Energy Efficiency

 

One of the biggest advantages of ductless systems is their high energy efficiency. Traditional ducted systems can lose a significant amount of energy through leaky or poorly insulated ductwork – up to 30% in some cases. Ductless systems avoid these losses entirely, translating to lower utility bills for you.

 

Additionally, ductless systems use variable speed compressors and fans that can adjust output based on the needs of each zone. This means they don’t waste energy overheating or overcooling areas, unlike fixed-capacity systems that are either on or off.

 

Flexible Zoning

 

With a ductless system, you can create “zones” in your home or business, each served by its own indoor unit and thermostat. This allows you to heat or cool specific areas as needed, rather than conditioning the entire building to the same temperature.

 

For example, you can keep bedrooms cooler at night while letting rarely used rooms stay warmer. Or in a commercial setting, you can maintain comfort in occupied areas while saving energy in vacant ones. Zoning can provide substantial energy savings and personalized comfort.

 

Easy Installation

 

Installing a traditional ducted HVAC system can be a major renovation project, often taking several days and causing significant disruption. Ductless systems, on the other hand, are much easier and less invasive to install.

 

The indoor and outdoor units are connected by a small conduit that only requires a 3-inch hole in the wall. This conduit houses the power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing, and condensate drain. The indoor units are mounted high on the wall or ceiling, while the outdoor unit can be placed up to 50 feet away.

 

Most ductless installations can be completed in a single day with minimal disruption to your home or business routine. And since there’s no ductwork required, you don’t have to worry about losing valuable storage space.

 

Improved Indoor Air Quality

 

Ductwork can be a breeding ground for dust, bacteria, mold spores, and other airborne contaminants. Every time the HVAC system kicks on, these particles get recirculated throughout the building, potentially triggering allergies and respiratory issues.

 

Ductless systems, on the other hand, have built-in multi-stage filtration that can drastically reduce dust, bacteria, pollen, allergens and other particulates in the air. Some high-end models even offer air purifying features. Plus, since each indoor unit serves a specific zone, there’s no cross-contamination of air between areas.

 

Quiet Operation

 

Another benefit of ductless mini splits is their quiet operation. The indoor units run at just 19 decibels – quieter than a whisper. And since the compressor is located outside, you won’t hear any of the noise associated with traditional HVAC systems. This makes ductless systems ideal for bedrooms, offices, classrooms, or any space where noise could be disruptive.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT DUCTLESS MINI SPLITS

A ductless mini split has two main components: an outdoor compressor/condenser and an indoor air-handling unit. These are connected by a conduit which houses the power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing, and a condensate drain. The indoor unit delivers heated or cooled air directly into the zone, while the outdoor unit pumps refrigerant and expels heat outside.

Ductless systems are more energy efficient since there are no duct losses. They provide zoned comfort, so you only condition occupied areas. The installation is less invasive and they take up minimal space. They also offer better dehumidification and air filtration compared to central systems.
 
One outdoor unit can typically support up to 4 indoor units, depending on the model. Each indoor unit creates its own "zone" with individual temperature control. For larger homes, you can install multiple outdoor units to accommodate more zones.

Ductless systems are sized in tons or BTUs per hour. The right size depends on several factors including the square footage of the space, insulation levels, window coverage, and occupancy. An undersized system will struggle to maintain comfort, while an oversized one will short cycle and waste energy. Our technicians can perform a thorough load calculation to determine the ideal size.

The cost of a ductless system can vary based on brand, efficiency rating, number of zones, and installation complexity. In general, expect to pay between $3,000 to $5,000 per zone for equipment and installation. While the upfront cost may be higher than some other options, ductless systems can provide substantial energy savings over time.

Ductless systems are actually easier to install than most other types of HVAC systems. There's no ductwork required, just a 3-inch hole to connect the indoor and outdoor units. Most installations can be completed in a single day. However, it's still best to have the work done by a licensed HVAC professional to ensure proper sizing, placement, and setup.

With proper maintenance, a quality ductless mini split can last 15-20 years or more. The key is to keep up with regular cleaning and servicing, and promptly address any issues that arise. Choosing a reputable brand and installer can also help ensure a long lifespan.

We recommend having your ductless mini split professionally maintained at least once per year, preferably in the spring before heavy usage in the cooling season. This typically includes cleaning the filters, coils, and drains, checking refrigerant levels and connections, and testing system performance and safety controls.

Like any HVAC system, ductless mini splits can experience issues such as refrigerant leaks, clogged filters or drains, sensor failures, and loose connections. Regular maintenance can prevent many of these problems. If you do notice warning signs like weak airflow, strange noises, musty odors, or inconsistent temperatures, it's best to call for professional repairs promptly.

While it may be tempting to attempt a DIY installation to save money, it's not recommended. Ductless systems require careful sizing, placement, and connections to function properly and efficiently. Improper installation can lead to poor performance, frequent breakdowns, and even safety hazards. It's best to leave the job to a licensed, experienced HVAC contractor who can ensure the job is done right and to code.
