Mini-Split Heat Pump Repair

What is a Mini-Split System?

Ductless HVAC systems combine mini-split technologies with a heat pump. They deliver cool air during the hot days of summer. In the winter, they absorb heat from the outdoor air and move it inside to make homes feel cozy.

Ductless mini-slips have two main components: an outdoor condenser and indoor air handlers, which professionals install on walls or ceilings. Depending on your needs, you may have more than one air handler in your home.

The system works by circulating refrigerant through a small conduit, or tubing, that connects the outdoor unit to the indoor air handlers. The conduit contains a condensate drain, refrigerant line, and power cable. Unlike traditional HVAC systems, ductless heat pumps do not require ductwork. This means that if your home does not already have a ductwork system, as is the case with some older homes, you will not be forced to remodel or sacrifice storage space to make room for ducts.

During the installation of a mini-split system, a specialist mounts the indoor units, or air handlers, in the rooms you wish to heat and cool. They will then drill small holes in the walls of the respective rooms for the conduit so that it remains hidden.
