Understanding Ductless Mini-Split Systems
With the versatility and efficiency that ductless mini-splits boast, the question you might be asking is, “What the heck are they, and how do they work?” A great question that we are happy to answer!
What is a Ductless Mini-Split System?
A ductless mini-split system consists of an outdoor and indoor unit, which are connected by electrical wiring and refrigerant tubing. The indoor unit is installed into a wall, where it will deliver warm or cool air directly into the room or area. This process is done without the need for ductwork, hence the “ductless” part of the name.
How Do They Work?
The system provides heating and cooling in a very similar manner to a traditional AC, where the heat in your home is moved outside and replaced with cooled air. The main difference comes from the system using one outdoor unit to transport cool air through several air handlers throughout the home instead of needing ducts to circulate airflow.
Benefits of Ductless Mini-Split Systems
A ductless mini-split system installation gives you a precise way of crafting the perfect temperature around your home. Take a look at the many benefits of a mini-split:
Quiet Operation
Ductless mini-splits operate at a much lower noise level than other HVAC systems. The noise is usually dependent on the temperatures the system is trying to reach and the total capacity. Typically, sound levels range between 20 to 49 decibels for the indoor unit or 45 to 60 for the outdoor unit. This is comparable to someone whispering.
Energy Efficiency
While ducts play an important role in transporting air, they lose quite a bit of the air during the process. According to EnergyStar, ducts lose 20% to 30% of the circulating air. Ductless mini-split systems ditch the ducts for a zone temperature control system through indoor units, where heating and cooling are generated per room, preventing any air loss.
Improved Air Quality
Your traditional HVAC setup comes with an installed air filter, which gets clogged up after a while. Ductless mini-splits avoid this by using a replaceable air filter, keeping your air clear and healthy.
Individual Control
A significant aspect of installing a ductless mini-split system is the indoor unit, which can be easily controlled by the user. Homeowners have the option to adjust the temperature in each room equipped with an indoor unit using a smartphone, remote control, or smart thermostat.
When to Consider a Ductless Mini-Split System
In our years of servicing and installing ductless mini-splits, Burton’s team has found that the best times to consider an installation are when:
- Older homes without any ducts installed
- For a home remodel or addition
- You want to improve your home’s energy efficiency
- Different temperature preferences in your family
- To give an extra boost to your current HVAC system
Choosing the Right Ductless System For Your Home
The question that comes down when selecting a ductless system is this: Is a ductless mini-split a perfect fit for your HVAC needs? A new system can be an expensive investment that may not be worth it for various reasons. These could include:
- Pre-existing ductwork
- Owning a larger home
- Your budget
If those factors do not describe you, ductless mini-split installations can do a lot for your home in the long run. As a bonus, a mini-split can provide both cooling and heating—all with less operating noise.
Every home has different comfort needs, but Burton is here to make sure they are met. Our HVAC experts are always available to consult regarding your specifications regarding heating and cooling and breakdown the best fit for your home.

Our Installation Process
Hiring Burton’s HVAC experts, you can expect a thorough, seamless installation to your home. Our installation process breaks down like this:
- Install a hanging wall mount that will house and support the air handler.
- We create a hole (around 2.5 inches) near the wall mount that will run the connection line between the indoor and outdoor unit.
- The line from the back of the air handler is then run through the hole to connect to the outdoor unit’s condenser. This will contain components like the drain and refrigerant line and the electrical wiring.
- Next, we attach the outdoor unit to the wall mount.
- We install the outdoor unit along the side of the home so the air can then be drawn in and circulated throughout the room where the indoor unit is mounted. (In the case of multiple indoor units being installed, we will change the placement of the outdoor unit for the most suitable connection.)
- With everything installed and connected, our experts perform final inspections and tests to ensure the system operates correctly and provides you with proper temperature control.
Our installation process only takes a few hours to complete and is focused on efficiently integrating your new system with little disruption.
