Ductless air conditioning systems have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their application flexibility for scenarios where traditional ducted systems are not feasible or possible. Ductless systems do not require ducting in order to work. They still utilize the split design: outdoor condenser unit and indoor evaporator. But instead of a ducted air distribution system the ductless system has an evaporator coil and blower fan at each indoor unit. The indoor unit(s) hang on the wall near the ceiling and deliver performance in a manner similar to window air conditioning units, except they are much more efficient than window units.
Also referred to as unitary systems, because both the heating and air conditioning systems are completely housed within the unit. Most often used in multi-unit homes, such as condominiums, where available space for mechanical use may be limited. These systems do not require an outdoor condenser unit or a separate air handler and evaporator coil, because it is all contained within the unit. They are installed on an outside wall of the home (in a wall sleeve) at ground level or above, usually in a mechanical closet. These units are often more noisy than other air conditioning systems because they are usually located on the main living level and they have all of the components of a split system working within one unit. You may here these referred to as “Magic Packs”, because that is the name original manufacturer for the most popular of these types of units.
This is the least reliable and least efficient option for cooling your home. But when August heat sets in they sure are better than nothing! Unfortunately we do not service or offer these units.
