A ductless mini split is a cooling and heating system that works without traditional ductwork. It connects an outdoor compressor unit to one or more indoor air handlers through a small conduit. This setup lets you control the temperature in individual rooms or zones throughout your home.

Think of it as having a dedicated AC unit for each room that needs it. The outdoor unit does the heavy lifting while the sleek indoor units quietly distribute comfortable air exactly where you want it. No ducts means no energy lost through leaky ductwork, which matters in South Florida where traditional systems lose 25-30% of their cooling through the ducts alone.

Mini split systems have become popular in Palm Beach County over the past few years. They work great for older homes that never had central air, room additions where extending ductwork would be expensive, converted garages, and any space where you want independent temperature control.
