Ductless Systems
What are Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pumps?
Ductless mini-split heat pumps, also known as mini-splits, serve as excellent retrofit add-ons for homes with non-ducted heating systems like hydronic or radiant panels and space heaters. They’re also ideal for room additions where installing ductwork isn’t feasible and for new, highly efficient homes requiring a compact space conditioning system. Opt for an ENERGY STAR® compliant unit and enlist an installer familiar with the product for efficient installation.
Like standard air-source heat pumps, mini-splits consist of an outdoor compressor/condenser and an indoor air-handling unit connected by a conduit housing components such as power cables, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing, and a condensate drain.
Advantages of Ductless Heat Pumps
Mini-splits offer small size and zoning flexibility, allowing heating and cooling of individual rooms or zones. Some models support up to four indoor air-handling units connected to one outdoor unit, so you can condition only occupied spaces, saving energy and costs.
Installation of ductless mini-split systems is easier compared to other space conditioning systems. The connection between outdoor and indoor units typically requires only a three-inch hole through a wall for the conduit. Plus, you can position the outdoor unit up to 50 feet away from the indoor evaporator, enabling flexibility in compressor placement.
Since mini-splits do not have ducts, they eliminate energy losses associated with ductwork, which can account for over 30% of energy consumption for space conditioning.
Mini-splits offer interior design flexibility. They have indoor air handlers that can be ceiling-suspended, flush-mounted into drop ceilings, hung on walls, or floor-standing. Their sleek, low-profile design and remote control suit various aesthetic preferences.
Disadvantages of Ductless Heat Pumps
Mini-splits may have higher installation costs but lower operating costs, and potential rebates can offset initial expenses. Proper sizing and installation are crucial to avoid short cycling and ensure efficient temperature and humidity control.
Some individuals may not favor the appearance of indoor units, which lack the built-in look of central systems. A drainage location near the outdoor unit is also necessary for condensate water disposal.
