What Is a Ductless AC System?
A ductless AC system is a wall-mounted cooling unit with its own coolant, condenser, blower motor, and vent. They provide cooling right from the unit and don’t require a connection to the vent system.
Ductless AC units provide a wealth of benefits to any homeowner. A few perks of installing these in your home include:
- Climate control for individual rooms
- Lower overall HVAC bills
- Faster cooling of your rooms
With a ductless AC unit, you can enjoy the exact temperature you want for your bedroom, living room, or any room that has an indoor unit.

Mini-Split vs. Central Air Conditioner
Which is right for you?
So which is better: a ductless mini-split or a central AC? There are pros and cons for each type of system used to cool Bay Area homes. A few factors to keep in mind include:
- Home size:Â A large home will benefit more from a central AC while smaller homes could be fine with ductless units.
- Cooling preference:Â If you have certain rooms that stay warm, a ductless AC can alleviate the issue.
- Energy-efficiency needs: When HVAC bills are a concern, ductless HVAC units can keep costs down by cooling only the rooms you’re actively using.
No matter your HVAC needs, look to AIS to handle the installation or repair.

FAQs on Ductless HVAC Systems
What is a ductless air conditioner?
As the name implies, a ductless HVAC system operates without the traditional ductwork of other systems. Whether you live in a new home or an older home with no ductwork, ductless systems are an efficient way to enhance your comfort, no matter the challenges your space presents.
A ductless mini-split includes one outdoor unit and one or more indoor units connected by refrigerant tubing and electrical wiring. The indoor unit is typically wall-mounted, delivering cooled and heated air directly into the living area.
Also called a “single-zone system” or “mini-split,” a properly maintained ductless HVAC system lasts about 20 years, generally longer than the 12 to 15 years most conventional HVAC systems last.
How much do ductless heating and cooling systems cost?
The average cost is around $3,000 but can vary depending on the size of the room it’s installed in, the size of the unit, and the degree of difficulty of the installation. Labor costs are typically lower than with other HVAC installations, as it’s easier and faster to install insulated refrigerant lines through a house than to retrofit bulky HVAC ducts.
While the price of a ductless HVAC system can seem steep at first glance, the benefits in energy efficiency are usually worth the investment.
Are ductless mini-splits worth it?
Mini-splits allow you to heat and cool different areas of your home. They operate independently of your central HVAC system, which makes them an efficient way to control heating and cooling costs in less-used rooms and adjust inside temperatures to each person’s comfort level.
