What Is a Ductless Mini-Split AC System?
The ductless mini-split is the HVAC industry’s solution for homes without a duct system. Ductless air conditioners don’t need to circulate air between rooms.
Therefore they don’t need a duct system. Instead, they consist of a small AC unit in each room of the house to bring cool, conditioned air into the room. The in-room units are connected to an outdoor compressor, which can run multiple units.

Benefits of Ductless AC Systems for Homeowners
No ducts? No problem! The ductless AC system, properly installed, is just as capable as typical ducted central AC. Ductless AC has many advantages and is, in some ways, better than traditional (ducted) central air conditioning — and it’s definitely better than using window units.
Ductless AC advantages include:
- Indoor units typically go unnoticed: The units are small, low-profile, and inconspicuous, blending right in with your decor. They’re often installed high on a wall or on the ceiling, making them even less noticeable.
- Won’t spoil your view or require big holes in the wall: Window ACs either block your window space and view or make a big hole in a wall for installation. Ductless systems need only a small wall penetration, through which the small-diameter connecting conduit (basically a tube) runs to the outdoor unit.
- Simple installation: Ductless ACs install quickly and easily compared to ducted systems. As mentioned, adding a duct system to your home would not be pleasant, quick, or cheap.
- Automatically zoned for comfort: A zoned AC system allows you to cool only the room(s) you’re using, allowing each room to be the temperature the occupant prefers for customized home comfort.
- Energy-efficient by design: Ductless systems are designed to be energy-efficient since they don’t have the often-wasteful, leaky ducts throughout the home. The fact that ductless systems are zoned saves you even more energy and money on monthly bills.
- Low noise: One outdoor compressor runs several indoor units, making ductless AC much quieter than room air conditioners — and also quieter than some regular ducted AC systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a ductless mini-split last before it needs replacement?
Ductless mini-splits can have a longer life span than some other HVAC systems because they can be used exclusively for heating or cooling or used all year for both. If you use it for both, the system wears more and has a life expectancy in line with a furnace.
Used only for cooling or only for heating, you might see a life expectancy like an air conditioner, going as long as 20 years before ductless mini-split replacement. However, it will be less efficient and reliable by then and will need several repairs to operate that long.
How should I pick my new ductless mini-split?
HVAC equipment should be matched to your specific cooling needs, which is based on the square footage of the space you want to heat and cool, the quality of your insulation and sealing, your target temperature, the layout of your home, and more.
To get the most accurate determination and the best pick for your system, make sure you’re working with experienced HVAC technicians with the training and knowledge to assess your needs and match you to a quality product.
What can I do to make my ductless mini-split last longer without replacement?
The best way to prevent a shortened service life for any HVAC equipment, including ductless HVAC, would be to keep up with maintenance and repairs. If you see something wrong with your system, you schedule repairs immediately instead of waiting to see what happens.
On a more regular basis, you’ll want to handle basic maintenance like cleaning or replacing air filters to maintain healthy airflow in the system, and if necessary, clean your coils and exterior unit. Finally, keep up with annual or biannual tune-ups if you use the same system for heating and cooling year-round.
