A ductless mini-split system is a type of heating and cooling setup that uses individually mounted units to control the indoor conditions in a specific room or area. Instead of using ductwork, the individual unit or blower uses a conduit to connect directly to an outdoor condensing unit. The conduit contains the system’s power cable, refrigerant tubing, and condensate drain line. In this way, mini-splits can supply air conditioning or heat with no ductwork required.
Ductless mini-splits are popular for numerous applications, including multi-family houses, apartments, homes with non-ducted syst ..read more

There are different types of HVAC systems you can choose from. In the past, a split system was a common option. The term split is used because it’s actually two separate systems. In this type of unit, your furnace parts are completely separate from your air conditioning components. Both systems use the same ductwork, but all of the parts needed to make it run are contained separately. In a packaged HVAC unit, everything you need to heat and cool your home is in one combined unit. An example of this is a heat pump paired with a furnace.
