Ductless Air Conditioner and Heaters

A ductless heating and cooling system can be an excellent solution for older homes or when you have limited construction options.

What goes into the installation of a Ductless System?

Ductless systems consist of:

1. Outdoor condenser unit
2. 1 to 5 indoor air handling units
3. Low profile refrigerant lines

Ductless air conditioning systems are often called mini splits or multi splits, and they allow for zoned air conditioning inside of a home without large window units or installing complex construction ductwork. This means that ductless air conditioning and heating units are perfect for unique homes, apartments, multi family units, and a host of other non-traditional housing.

How much does a multi split our mini split ductless air conditioning set up cost?

Our ductless set ups vary and cost depending on the complexity of each homes layout, and hardware selected.

Here are rough pricing estimates provided by home advisor:

Multi zone systems versus single

Ductless air conditioners and heaters always come with at least one indoor unit but you’ll be able to expand into other rooms as you purchase additional units. These will usually cost between 400 and $1000 depending on the brand and set up. Multi zone mini splits are amazing because you can run distinct cooling to different areas within your home, providing you with great control over the temperature throughout different areas. Currently, you can have up to eight indoor units for every outdoor condenser and these multi zone ductless systems are usually called multi splits rather than mini splits
