Ductless systems

Mini-split installation

Mini-splits can solve room-by-room problems in a house without ducts, but head placement, condensate routing, line-set installation, controls, and low-load behavior determine whether the result is quiet and comfortable.

When a mini-split is worth planning

  • A house, addition, or camelback has no ducts, or the ducts are not worth keeping.
  • One room or floor never cools with the system you have.
  • A proposed layout needs room loads and head placement checked.
  • You have a quote and want to know what it leaves out.

The approach

Plan the rooms before the equipment

  1. 1

    Work out each room’s load and exposure before choosing equipment sizes.

  2. 2

    Write down room loads, equipment combinations, line routes, drains, power, controls, and service access.

  3. 3

    Check where the outdoor unit can go under city zoning and, in a historic district, HDLC or Vieux Carré review.

  4. 4

    Confirm every multi-zone combination against manufacturer data.

How a ductless mini-split is laid out One outdoor unit connected by refrigerant line sets to indoor head units mounted on a wall or ceiling in different rooms. Each head cools its own zone, with no ductwork needed. Indoor head units Mounted on a wall or ceiling Each head cools its own zone Refrigerant line sets Outdoor unit No ductwork needed

A mini-split has no ducts; each indoor head cools just its own room or zone.

What to expect

A plan someone can check

  • Exact equipment match

    Multi-zone combinations must be supported by manufacturer data.

  • Drainage is designed

    Condensate routing and maintenance access are part of the installation.

  • No square-foot shortcut

    Each room and exposure affects selection and placement.
