Ductless HVAC Systems in Burlington, VT
Ductwork is a component of heating and cooling systems that people often assume is essential. And it is—at least for standard air conditioners, furnaces, and heat pumps. But you can find comfort systems on the market that offer powerful heating and cooling without requiring even an inch of ductwork. For older homes, new home construction, and renovation projects, these ductless systems are an invaluable resource. They not only save space, but they offer other advantages such as lowered energy costs and improved air quality.

Thank you! Re-igniting a hot water tank pilot light may seem like a simple task, but to me it was a miracle (especially since I didn’t know my tank was GAS!)

How Does Ductless Air Conditioning and Heating Work?
The standard air conditioner/heat pump works as a split system, with an outdoor unit and indoor air handler connected to the ducts. A ductless mini split removes the single large indoor unit and replaces it with a series of smaller blowers. These blowers each contain a fan and refrigerant coil. They’re mounted on walls in different rooms, and connect through the back of the wall to the outdoor unit. Refrigerant circulates through them and the fans send the heated or cooled air directly into the living spaces.
Reasons to Consider a Ductless Mini Split Installation
What are the benefits of this type of comfort system?
- Energy savings: Ductless mini splits use smaller motorized parts than split systems, so they draw less electrical power. The lack of ducts also means there is less loss/gain of heat and no energy wasted due to duct leakage.
- Zone control: A ductless system has zone control built right in. Each blower can be controlled separate from the others, so there’s no need to have a blower on in an empty room. This is another way ductless systems save money, and it also provides individual comfort to the rooms.
- Space saving: No ducts means ductless mini splits are options for homes that lack the space for a ventilation system. This is beneficial for both new home construction and older homes constructed before central air conditioning.
- Better air quality: Ducts collect dust that can be blown into the air. A ductless system provides much cleaner air, which is great for people with allergies and asthma.
