What Is a Ductless Mini-Split?

A ductless mini-split system consists of one or more compact indoor air-handling units connected via refrigerant lines to an outdoor condenser. Unlike conventional HVAC systems, mini-splits operate without ductwork, delivering:

• Precise zoning comfort—individual temperature control for each room or “zone”
• High seasonal energy efficiency (up to 20-30% savings compared to window units)
• Improved indoor air quality through multi-stage filtration
• Quiet operation thanks to low-noise indoor fan-coils

Ideal for home additions, historic Collier properties lacking forced-air ducts, or commercial spaces where flexible comfort is essential, mini-splits combine performance with minimal aesthetic impact.
