What Is a Ductless HVAC System?

Ductless HVAC systems—often referred to as mini-splits or ductless heat pumps—use an indoor wall-mounted unit and a connected outdoor compressor to deliver climate control to individual spaces. These systems can be single-zone (for one room) or multi-zone (serving multiple rooms independently). Because there’s no ductwork involved, they are perfect for homes where installing new ducts would be costly or impractical.

Ideal Applications

Ductless mini-splits and heat pumps are a great fit for:

  • Older homes without central HVAC systems
  • Room additions or converted spaces like garages or sunrooms
  • Home offices or detached structures (e.g., guest houses)
  • Specific rooms needing temperature control separate from the main home
  • Downsized living areas where full HVAC is unnecessary

Benefits of Ductless

Ductless offer several advantages:

  • Energy Efficiency – No duct loss means higher efficiency
  • Zoned Comfort – Control the temperature in each room individually
  • Quiet Operation – Sleek indoor units operate with minimal noise
  • Flexible Installation – No ductwork required, minimal disruption
  • Improved Air Quality – Advanced filtration captures dust, allergens, and bacteria

Frequently Asked Questions

Wondering if ductless is the right solution for your home? Here are some common questions we hear from homeowners in Long Beach, Lakewood, and nearby areas.

Yes—because there’s no energy loss through ductwork, ductless systems often outperform central HVAC systems in terms of efficiency. You can also turn off units in unused rooms to save even more.

Absolutely. Multi-zone systems allow you to install multiple indoor units throughout the house, each with its own thermostat, giving you total control and coverage.

Most single-zone systems can be installed in one day. Multi-zone setups may take longer depending on the number of units and installation complexity.

Yes! Most ductless systems are heat pumps, meaning they provide both air conditioning and heating with high efficiency.

We recommend professional maintenance at least once per year to clean filters, inspect components, and ensure top performance, especially before the peak heating or cooling seasons.
