As technology advances, new options are emerging for temperature control. One alternative to traditional air conditioners is the ductless mini-split system. But can this tiny device replace conventional AC units? 

Ductless Mini Split Vs. Traditional AC

The most significant difference between these two devices is how they distribute cool air. Traditional AC units work by blowing cold air through ducts into different rooms using fans or blowers. On the other hand, mini splits do not use ductwork at all to circulate cold air throughout your home.

A ductless mini split works like a reversible heat pump; they move heated and cooled refrigerant between inside and outdoor units connected by tubing that passes through wall-mounted conduits leading outside.

The Benefits of a Ductless Mini Split

Ductless mini split systems offer a range of advantages over traditional air conditioning units, including:

1. Ductless systems use less electricity and can be more cost-effective than installing or maintaining ductwork.
2. Zoned cooling for more customized temperature control, making them ideal for smaller spaces or less frequently used rooms such as garages and attics.
3. More even airflow distribution along with enhanced comfort
4. Quieter operation compared to old window-based AC Systems
