What Are Ductless Mini-Split Systems?

A ductless mini-split system is an energy-efficient cooling solution that consists of an outdoor compressor unit connected to one or more indoor air handlers. These systems provide targeted climate control without requiring extensive ductwork installation.

How They Work

The outdoor unit houses the compressor and condenser, while indoor units contain the evaporator and fan. Refrigerant lines connect these components, allowing efficient heat transfer to cool your Texas property.

Energy Efficiency

Mini-split systems can reduce cooling costs by up to 30% compared to traditional central air systems. They eliminate energy loss through ductwork and allow for precise temperature control in each room.

Benefits of Ductless Mini-Split Systems

Zone Control

Control temperature in individual rooms or zones independently, creating personalized comfort for different areas of your Texas property.

Cost Savings

Reduce energy bills by cooling only the spaces you use. Avoid energy waste from unused rooms and eliminate ductwork losses.

Easy Installation

Installation requires only a small hole in the wall for refrigerant lines. No major construction or ductwork modifications needed.
