Benefits and Drawbacks of Ductless Mini-Split AC Systems
Ductless, mini split-system HVAC Systems have various prospective applications in domestic, industrial, and institutional structures. The most common applications remain in multifamily real estate or as retrofit add-ons to houses with "non-ducted" heating systems, such as hydronic (hot water heat), radiant panels, and space heaters (wood, kerosene, propane). They can also be a great option for space additions and studio apartments, where extending or installing circulation ductwork (for a main air-conditioner or heating systems) is not practical. Like main systems, mini divides have 2 primary parts: an outdoor compressor/condenser, and an indoor air-handling system. A channel, which houses the power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing, and a condensate drain, links the outdoor and indoor systems.
