Ductless technology has become more popular with homes in the US over the last decade.

Making the change from a familiar central HVAC system that uses ducts can seem intimidating, but our technicians can help you with deciding about a ductless AC installation in Orange County<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So \u2026 is a ductless AC a good choice for your home? How can you benefit from one? <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Basics of Ductless Systems<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before looking into whether a ductless AC system is ideal for your situation, we need to describe these devices a bit more. Although we often refer to these as \u201cductless ACs,\u201d they are actually types of heat pumps, which means that they work as both cooling and heating systems. Like standard ducted heat pumps, they can change the direction they move heat so they can either remove heat from the house or bring it indoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ductless mini split heat pumps have an outdoor unit similar to a conventional AC or heat pump. But instead of connecting to a single indoor evaporator and air handler that sends conditioned air into a network of ducts, a ductless mini split\u2019s outdoor unit connects to several small air handlers placed around the house. These air handlers are mounted on exterior walls of different rooms. Each one has its own blower and refrigerant coil so it can send conditioned air directly into the living space. Most ductless systems can have 1 to 8 blowers per outdoor unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
