What is a Mini Split Air Conditioning System?

A ductless mini split is a variation of the basic central air setup, but instead of a single condenser feeding a single air handler, a ductless mini split might have multiple air handlers. Central air uses ductwork, and all rooms get the same air treatment; with a mini split, each room is served individually by its own air handler. No ductwork is used.

How Does A Mini Split Air Conditioning System Work?

The process that a mini-split heat pump goes through to heat and cool your home is pretty simple. The unit uses refrigerant to transfer heat energy between inside and outside. In the summer, the heat in your home is absorbed by the refrigerant and then transferred out of your home. In the winter, the heat pump works in the opposite way, using the refrigerant to absorb the heat it can find outside and then transferring it into your home.

CAN A MINI-SPLIT SYSTEM HEAT & COOL A WHOLE HOUSE?

The short answer is yes. As seen in the illustration below, multiple indoor units can connect to a single outdoor unit (or multiple outdoor units) to provide air conditioning to your entire home. These units are very powerful and can heat and cool an entire home or multiple ‘zones’. When heating and cooling a home with a ductless mini-split air conditioner, installation is very important. Because you are installing multiple units, it takes a lot of planning and professional consultation to properly install the whole system, so it’s best to contact AOK Heating Air Conditioning & Electrical for a free consultation. We will visit your home and give you sound solutions for the best Air Conditioning System to meet your home’s needs.
