How Does A Ductless Mini-Split Work?
A ductless mini-split is a heat pump system, but with multiple interior units instead of an air handler and ductwork. Via evaporators, compressors, and lines connecting the indoor units to an exterior unit, heat can be extracted from the air at one location into the refrigerant, moved to another place, then vented, providing cold and warm air where you need it.
Benefits of Installing Ductless Mini-Splits
On the fence about making the switch? Compared to traditional ducted HVAC systems, ductless mini-splits offer:
- Energy savings: Ductless mini-splits waste less energy on cooling than an air conditioner due to not needing to push air through ducts. They’re also far more energy-efficient than a furnace, like any heat pump.
- Improved indoor air quality: Without ducts to accumulate dust, mold, pest residue, etc., the air in your home will be much cleaner with the same level of effort.
- Zoned climate control: Multiple mini-splits with the right setup can target different temperatures, making one room warmer or cooler than the rest as you prefer or need.
- Less maintenance: A ductless mini-split is most comparable to an air conditioner overall, with relatively low lifetime maintenance and repair costs.
- No ductwork needed: Ducts take up space, need to be resealed or replaced over time, and need cleaning to avoid inefficiency or air quality issues. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, as much as 30% of heating or cooling is lost through ductwork.

Frequently Asked Questions
Modern ductless systems are highly efficient in most climates, unlike earlier models that were only recommended for regions with mild winters. It depends on what you use it for and how well it’s maintained. If it’s supplemental heat and your primary cooling, it’s going to last longer than if you use it as your primary HVAC year-round. At the upper end, it could last 20 years, while at the lower, 10 years. Like all HVAC equipment, a tune up before the season (or seasons) with the heaviest usage is best. You’ll also want to keep track of your filters, either to clean or replace them as is appropriate for your model.Do ductless ACs work well in Indiana?
