Ductless Mini Split Installation Services

Benefits of Ductless Mini-Split Installation

Sometimes referred to as a ductless mini-split air conditioner, ductless systems are actually capable of providing both heating and cooling from a single system. Your ductless system can be connected to an air conditioner to provide only cool air, or to a heat pump to provide both heating and cooling to space. Ductless systems are a great choice for rooms or even entire homes that don’t have access to ductwork.

Instead of investing thousands of dollars in construction and product costs, you can call us to create or update the ductwork in your building quickly and easily. We will specially tailor a plan that meets your needs, space, and budget, and ensure that you experience relief from the summer heat as quickly as possible.

There are a number of benefits users get with a ductless system:

Easy Installation

Since no ductwork or air distribution system is needed with a ductless system, there are very few places where these systems cannot be installed.

Easy Maintenance

Many indoor units have washable filters and require only periodical cleaning. Outdoor units are designed for easy access for your contractor for those routine maintenance calls.

Quiet Operation

Both the indoor and outdoor units operate very quietly. Indoor units are typically quiet enough for libraries, classrooms, boardrooms, and the most sensitive room in the house, the bedroom. The outdoor condensing unit will generally be quiet enough to be installed under a window or near a patio so sleeping or the entertaining of guests is not disrupted.

Simple Control

They can be controlled by a thermostat or they can be regulated by an infrared remote control, like a TV remote. Attractive, efficient, and easy to use.

Design

Indoor units blend well into interior spaces and you don’t have to sacrifice a window as window-type air conditioning units.

Ductless Mini-Splits as Heating and Cooling Systems

Ductless mini-split systems operate similarly to a heat pump, as both systems run all year long using electricity to produce heating and cooling. Here’s how they work when set to heating and cooling:

Heating

Ductless systems utilize a process called reverse cycle to extract heat from the outside air and transfer it inside the home through refrigerant lines. The indoor unit then releases the heat into the room, helping it reach the temperature set on the thermostat. This heating method is among the most energy-efficient ways to heat a home because it doesn’t rely on burning fuel, but rather utilizes the existing heat in the air.

Cooling

When set to cooling mode, the process is essentially reversed. The refrigerant inside the ductless AC system absorbs heat from inside the home and then passes it through a compressor, which increases its temperature. As the refrigerant flows to the indoor unit, it releases the heat and cools the air before returning to the outdoor unit to repeat the cycle. While a central AC system relies on a network of ducts to distribute cooled air throughout the building, ductless mini-split systems eliminate the need for ductwork, maximizing comfort and efficiency.

When you need to beat the heat during the hot summer months or stay warm during the bitterly cold winter days, it is crucial for your heating and cooling systems to be working properly. If they are not, call on Rusk for ductless mini-split services.
