Ductless-Mini Split Systems: How They Work

Common questions among Tampa homeowners include how a ductless mini-split system differs from an AC. A key difference is the absence of ductwork, which makes it well-suited for older houses, home additions, garages, and finished attics. These systems have an outdoor unit that supplies refrigerant to individual indoor units, each with its own coil and drain. Mini-splits also offer multiple indoor installation options, including wall mounts, slim-profile units, and ceiling cassettes.

Energy Savings With Zoned Comfort

Tampa summers are long and humid, and many households require around-the-clock cooling. One of the key advantages of a mini-split is its ability to minimize energy waste in spaces you’re not using. Zoning also allows for steadier temperatures and better humidity control.

Ductless Mini-Split FAQs

Are ductless mini-splits good for Tampa’s humidity?

Yes, a well-sized ductless mini-split will provide ample dehumidification in our climate. Many mini-split models also have a dry mode. That mode slows the fan, allowing more condensation before the air reaches your living spaces.

What is a ductless mini-split, and how does it work?

A ductless mini-split is a split HVAC system, meaning it has outdoor and indoor equipment. Like a central AC, it has an outdoor condenser unit. Unlike a central AC, it has multiple indoor units, each housing a blower and an evaporator coil. The outdoor unit distributes refrigerant to the indoor units, which absorb heat from your living spaces.

Can a ductless mini-split cool an entire house?

Yes, a mini-split is a viable option for whole-house air conditioning in Florida. Many mini-split systems support up to eight zones out of the box. That’s ample coverage for the typical Florida home. If you have a large house, you can increase the limit by installing multiple outdoor condenser units in series.

How long does ductless mini-split installation take?

The typical installation takes between four and eight hours. While we complete most installations in a day, larger projects can take two days. Your installation timeframe will depend on your home's size and the specific equipment we’re installing. We’ll provide you with an accurate time estimate before any work begins.
