Ductless Split AC Replacement
When multiple AC repairs don’t fix the problem, it may be time to replace your mini-split system. The age of the system and the cost of major repairs can also influence our recommendation to replace your system rather than repair it. Our experts will use their years of experience to suggest the best options for your home and family’s needs and inform your decision. Once made, we’ll remove and dispose of your old unit while installing the new one.
Benefits of a Ductless Split AC System
Traditional central or forced air systems funnel air throughout the house via ducts within the walls, ceilings, and floors. The system connects to a single thermostat, offering very little temperature adjustment from room to room. Ductless split AC systems remove the need for such cumbersome systems. Using individual units mounted near the ceiling or floor in key locations, ductless split AC systems offer customizable temperatures in each room or zone. These units provide both heating and cooling capabilities with less noise and greater efficiency. Ductless AC repairs are also easier for HVAC experts. Mini-split units are ideal for homes being built without ductwork or going through renovations to remove the ducts but can be installed in homes with existing ductwork just as easily.
FAQs About Ductless Split AC Systems
How does this system work?
Each indoor unit of a ductless split AC system connects to a single outdoor unit that contains the necessary compressor and condenser. Small holes are cut in the walls to connect refrigerant lines from the outdoor unit to each indoor unit. These lines transfer heat from indoors to outdoors for cooling or vice versa for heating. Each indoor unit comes with a remote for precise temperature control.
Do ductless split AC units provide both heating and cooling?
Yes! Much like heat pumps, mini-splits use the same refrigerant lines to shift heat either outdoors or indoors — wherever you want it.
Are ductless split AC units quieter than other systems?
Yes, ductless split AC units create less noise than central air or window AC units. The outdoor unit’s compressor generates the most noise in the system, but thanks to the separation of the outdoor and indoor units, you won't hear it.
What happens to my existing ductwork with a ductless system?
Adding a ductless system to a home or business with existing ducts and central air requires just a few more steps than adding the system to a new build or renovation. To ensure your ducts won’t cause problems in the future, we recommend a thorough ductwork cleaning and then sealing the ducts. Our experts will remove and patch all vents and openings to close your old system. Then, you can just relax and enjoy your new ductless split AC system!
