Gain Precise Comfort Control With A Ductless Mini Split

No ducts? No problem. 

A ductless mini split solves heating and cooling issues, especially if your Wisconsin home has no air ducts or has inadequate ductwork.  

Ductless mini splits are among the most versatile and flexible heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. They install just about anywhere because they do not rely on ductwork to distribute conditioned air. That means you can heat or cool a garage and accessory buildings such as a guest house, studio, or a granny flat. 

If you build an addition to your New Berlin home or enclose a porch, a ductless mini split provides comfort without requiring you to extend existing ductwork from your HVAC system. Ductless mini splits are perfect for cooling homes with hydronic or electric radiant heat.  

At Midwest Heating & Cooling, we handle all forms of heating and cooling equipment. We can help you decide if a ductless mini split is appropriate for your budget and comfort needs. 

What Is A Ductless Mini Split? 

A ductless mini split consists of an outdoor condenser unit and one or more indoor air handlers that keep you comfortable year-round, eliminating the need for separate heating and cooling units.

The system’s condenser and compressor operate outdoors. Electrical wiring and refrigerant-filled copper tubing connect the outdoor until to the indoor air handler.

Ductless heat pumps are more like air conditioners than furnaces because they transfer heat rather than burn fuel to create it. When in heating mode, a heat pump removes heat from outdoor air and moves it indoors. When cooling, it removes heat from indoors and sends it outside.

In a mini split system, one outdoor condenser can work in conjunction with four or five air indoor units, each mounted in a different room in your home.  Our qualified pros at Midwest Heating & Cooling can attach mini split air handlers to walls and on or inside ceilings. We are proud to install Carrier products which include a floor console option. 

Cleaner Environment

A forced-air furnace or ductless mini split both circulate conditioned air into your living space. But there is a difference between the two systems.

With a ducted system, the air leaves the furnace, travels inside ductwork, and exits registers in each room in your home. In a ductless system, each indoor air handler directly heats or cools selected rooms. 

HVAC ductwork that is not maintained or occasionally cleaned can accumulate dirt, dust, debris, pet dander, even insects and other vermin. As air blows into your living space, it can bring particulate matter, contaminants, and allergens with it. A ductless system may be a healthier option for allergy sufferers or those with asthma or other respiratory problems.

Ductless Saves Energy

A ducted system conditions the air throughout your entire home. A ductless system gives you the option to heat or cool each room individually or not at all. You can adjust the air handlers in each room according to your temperature needs. The result is more consistent comfort throughout your home and energy savings that translate into lower utility bills. 

According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), duct losses can account for more than 30 percent of the energy consumption for space conditioning. The agency points out that because mini splits have no air ducts, they avoid energy loss associated with ductwork. 

Other Advantages

• Noise-reduction technology enables ductless mini splits to operate quietly. 
• Most systems are Wi-Fi–enabled, allowing you to control your equipment from your smartphone.
• Heat pumps today operate efficiently in harsh winter temperatures. Carrier products heat efficiently in temperatures as low as -22° Fahrenheit.
