Multi-Zone Ductless Units
Servicing multi-zone ductless units is a complex process that requires expertise and knowledge of the system’s components. These types of units are typically used to cool or heat multiple rooms or zones in a building, which means they have multiple indoor units connected to a single outdoor unit.

Mini-split AC units work by dispersing cold air from each unit inside your home instead of through traditional ductwork. Each mini-split unit connects to copper refrigerant lines that run to the outdoor condenser unit. As all the mini-split units remove heat from the air inside your home, that heat travels via the refrigerant to the condenser unit, where it transfers into the air outside.
There are various things to consider with mini-split installation, such as:
- Unit cooling capacity
- Mount type
- Warranty coverage
- Upfront cost
The beauty of mini-split systems is that they’re super simple to install. There’s no need to remove any wall boards or flooring to install ducting. Rather, an HVAC technician will make a small hole in the exterior wall of each room with a mini-split unit in it. This non-invasive installation process usually takes one to two days for the average household.
One of the most significant problems with relying on ducting for your air conditioning system is that it can develop leaks over time. These leaks create a place for cold air to escape and will cause your air conditioning system to overwork to keep up with your cooling demands. You don’t have to worry about unnecessary air loss with a ductless AC system. This goes a long way in helping your mini-split operate as efficiently as possible, saving you money on cooling bills this summer season.
One lesser-known advantage of investing in ductless AC systems is their tax rebates. The federal government offers homeowners a tax rebate on the cost of their new mini-split system. Some local municipalities and even some state governments are also offering tax incentives to get homeowners to invest in more energy-efficient products for their homes.
