Flexible Cooling for Homes Without Ductwork
Split cooling systems deliver powerful air conditioning without requiring extensive ductwork—perfect for homes without existing ducts, room additions, or spaces where traditional central AC isn’t practical or cost-effective.
Ideal Applications:
- Older Homes – Historic properties or homes built without central air conditioning
- Home Additions – New rooms added where extending existing ductwork is difficult
- Garages and Workshops – Conditioning spaces separate from main home systems
- Guest Suites – Independent comfort control for occasional-use areas
- Bonus Rooms – Attic or basement spaces where duct installation is challenging
How Split Systems Work
- Outdoor Condenser Unit – Compressor and condenser coil installed outside your home
- Indoor Air Handler – Mounted inside delivering cooled air directly to living spaces
- Refrigerant Lines – Small pipes connecting indoor and outdoor units through minimal wall penetration
- Individual Zone Control – Each indoor unit operates independently for customized comfort
System Configurations
- Single-Zone Systems – One outdoor unit serving one indoor air handler
- Multi-Zone Systems – One outdoor condenser supporting multiple indoor units (2-5 zones typically)
- Wall-Mounted Units – Most common installation, mounted high on interior walls
- Ceiling Cassettes – Flush-mount units for clean, unobtrusive appearance
- Floor-Mounted Units – Low-profile options when wall space is limited
Installation Advantages
- Minimal Home Disruption – Small refrigerant lines run through 3-inch wall penetration
- Fast Installation – Most systems installed in one day
- Flexible Placement – Indoor units positioned for optimal airflow and aesthetics
- Clean Appearance – Slim indoor units blend with modern home design
Energy Efficiency Benefits
Modern split systems achieve SEER ratings up to 30+, dramatically more efficient than older window units or portable air conditioners.
Cost Considerations
Split systems cost more upfront than window units but dramatically less than adding ductwork to homes that lack it. Operating costs stay low through high efficiency.
Sizing and Selection
Proper sizing matches equipment capacity to cooling load. We perform load calculations ensuring adequate cooling without oversizing that wastes energy and reduces comfort.
Professional Installation
Proper refrigerant charging, line set installation, and electrical connections require licensed technicians. We handle complete installation ensuring optimal performance and manufacturer warranty compliance.
Quiet Comfort
Indoor sound levels as low as 19 decibels—quieter than a whisper. You'll feel the comfort without hearing the equipment.
Heating Capability Available
Many split systems function as heat pumps providing both cooling and heating—year-round comfort from single equipment investment.
