h2>Duck the Ductwork Expenses – Mini-Split Ductless Services Orlando
Orlando’s climate can make it incredibly hard for homeowners to keep their indoor spaces cool year round. If you have a room addition, older home, or diverse heating/cooling needs from one room to the next, you might need a mini-split ductless system.
Compared to traditional air conditioning options, a mini-split ductless system can be used as a supplement for those spaces that don’t get enough cool air, or as a whole-house option without the cost of additional ductwork.
Call our team of local plumbers today to discuss this versatile and cost-effective heating and cooling.
Why mini-split ductless systems make sense in Orlando:
- Older homes and renovations: Many older Orlando homes may not have had HVAC ducts installed during their original construction. Building the ductwork for new central air conditioning can be prohibitively expensive and invasive. A mini-split system provides an efficient alternative that does not require extensive renovations.
- Energy efficiency: As energy costs rise, Orlando residents are looking for ways to reduce their bills. Mini-split systems are known for their high efficiency, particularly when replacing older HVAC systems or window units that gobble electricity.
- Home additions: If you’ve added a sunroom, garage, or in-law suite, you may face difficulty in connecting them to the home’s central HVAC system. A ductless mini-split can provide these areas with independent temperature control without the need to extend existing ductwork.
- Comfort zones: Mini-splits allow you to create distinct areas of a building controlled by separate thermostats. This could be the ideal solution if you’re converting a home to apartment units.
- Aesthetic appeal: Unlike bulky window units, mini-splits have a sleek design that won’t ruin the look of historic homes and striking architecture.
How Ductless HVAC Systems Work
Mini-split ductless HVAC systems sidestep the limitations of traditional systems that rely on extensive ductwork. Mini-split ductless system operation is straightforward yet efficient. Each system comprises an outdoor compressor linked to one or more indoor units equipped with evaporator coils that use a transfer medium like refrigerant to cool the air. These coils collect and absorb warm air from the room and transfer it outside through the medium. Conversely, for heating, the process is reversed, with the refrigerant capturing heat from the outdoor air and transporting it indoors.
Rather than pushing air through long ducts as in central air systems, mini-splits deliver treated air directly in the rooms to be heated or cooled. This direct approach not only enhances efficiency but also allows for individual temperature control in each room. The absence of ducts eliminates the energy losses typically associated with ductwork, further improving the system’s overall energy efficiency. Mini-splits easily manage the heating and cooling needs of an entire house thanks to the network of indoor units, all connected to the single outdoor compressor. They are infinitely scalable, allowing homeowners to simply add indoor units as the living space expands or is subdivided.

Mini-Split Decisions: Your Installation Options
There are several options available to you when you pick a new or replacement model:
- Wall-mounted: The most common choice, wall-mounted units are favored for their unobtrusive design and ease of access. They are typically installed high on the wall to foster efficient air distribution and operation and project a sleek, modern appearance. The main advantage is their straightforward installation however they must be placed out of direct sunlight and obstacles that could impede airflow.
- Ceiling suspension: A good fit for rooms with lofty ceilings or when wall space is limited, these units offer a discreet presence and are relatively easy to install. Since they are placed overhead but not flush with the ceiling, they are less visible while still providing easy access for maintenance. Placement decisions will greatly influence their effectiveness, highlighting the need for professional advice and installation.
- Ceiling cassettes: Mounted flush within a drop ceiling, cassette installation is attractive, simulating a traditional duct system and providing even air distribution. This option is ideal for larger spaces or commercial settings. The drawback is that installation can be more complex and requires expertise to ensure proper integration with the existing ceiling structure.
- Floor-standing: Installed near the bottom of the wall, floor units are usually only advisable for homes with slanted walls or high ceilings where other types of mounts are not feasible or would not generate temperature control and air flow desired. Still, while they are accessible and easy to maintain, they may not circulate air as effectively as units placed higher in a room.
