Ductless Mini-Splits

Armstrong’s HVAC experts will tell you the problem with many, if not most, central heating and air conditioning systems is the ductwork. This is a major reason ductless mini splits are exploding in popularity.

As the name implies, ductless mini splits use the same heat pump technology that’s used to heat and cool millions of homes. A mini-split system has individual air handlers for each room or area in a house. As many as four can be connected to an outside condenser. Each air handler has its own thermostat for the ultimate in custom control.

Not too many years ago, mini-splits were used almost exclusively for supplemental cooling or heating. They are ideal in many of those situations because you don’t need to add ductwork, which makes the installation relatively simple. Ductless mini splits are especially useful when you add new living space not connected to your current central system. Rapid advancements in heat pump technology mean ductless mini splits are now also a good choice for whole-house heating and cooling.
