A ductless heating system, also known as a mini-split or ductless mini-split system, is a type of heating system that does not require ductwork. It uses a small outdoor unit and one or more indoor units connected by a refrigerant line to transfer heat between the indoor and outdoor units.

Ductless heating systems work by using a refrigerant, such as R-410A, to transfer heat between the indoor and outdoor units. In heating mode, the outdoor unit compresses the refrigerant, which increases its temperature and sends it to the indoor unit. The indoor unit then uses a fan to circulate the warm air into the room, providing heat.

Ductless heating systems offer several benefits, including:

• Energy efficiency: our ductless heating systems have high SEER ratings and have low standby power, which means they use less energy when they’re not being used.
• Individual temperature control: being able to operate each indoor unit independently allows for zone-heating, which provides heat only where it’s needed and uses less energy.
• Easy installation: because these systems require no ductwork, the installation process is much less invasive than for most other heating systems.
•  Low noise levels: since the outdoor units for these systems are located outside and the indoor units are located in walls or ceilings, the noise they produce is rarely distracting.
•  Sleek and modern design: the indoor units for our ductless systems have a compact, minimalist look that will not interfere with your home decor.

Ductless heating systems are ideal for homes that do not have existing ductwork or cannot accommodate it. However, other heating systems may be more appropriate for larger homes, homes with limited exterior space, or homes that already have usable ductwork in place.

Ductless heating systems are relatively low maintenance. However, it is recommended to have them serviced annually to ensure they are running at optimal performance. Contact us to have a professional check your ductless system once a year and alert you to any issues that may require attention so you can keep using it efficiently to heat your home.

The cost of a ductless heating system installation can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the size and model of the system, and the layout and design of your home.
