What Is a Mini-Split Heat Pump?
A mini-split heat pump, also called a ductless heat pump or ductless mini-split, heats and cools your space without traditional ductwork. It pairs one outdoor unit with one or more indoor units mounted on the wall, connected by refrigerant lines through a small opening.
Each indoor unit controls its own zone, so you can heat or cool individual rooms or specific areas. The same system heats in winter and cools in summer, which is why you’ll sometimes hear it called a mini-split AC.
Because no ducts are needed, mini-splits work well for:
Single-Zone or Multi-Zone?
Mini-splits come in two main setups. We install both, and your assessment tells us which one fits your space.
| Single-zone | Multi-zone (multi-split) | |
|---|---|---|
| Indoor units | One | Two or more |
| Outdoor units | One | One, shared by all indoor units |
| Best for | One room, an addition or a hard-to-heat area | Several rooms, a whole home or a larger space |
| Temperature control | One zone | Each room on its own setting |
