Ductless mini split systems consist of an outdoor compressor/condenser and a single or multiple indoor air handling units. The air handlers are lightweight, slim, unobtrusive and can be wall-mounted or incorporated into the ceiling. They connect to the outdoor compressor by way of a conduit and a very small hole in an exterior wall. There are single-zone and multi-zone options.

Central air conditioning handles cooling for a large space, utilizing the home’s duct system to distribute cool air and create a consistent temperature throughout. The three main components include the compressor, a condenser coil and an evaporator coil. The system works by absorbing and removing heat via converting refrigerant from gas to liquid and back.
