The condenser and conduit are run from the outdoor unit to one or more wall-mounted units inside your home, allowing you to control the temperature in different rooms or areas.
The ductwork in a central system delivers cool air to various rooms or “zones.” There’s energy loss, though – up to 40%. With a ductless mini-split system, the loss is only around one to five percent, meaning you save about half your cooling and heating costs. Ductless systems consume 2,000 to 2,500 total watts on average, while each component of a central system uses approximately 2,000 watts — 4,000 in total. Moreover, the majority of ductless systems are capable of achieving a SEER rating of 30.5 and are ENERGY STAR-qualified. In contrast, a traditional central system typically has a SEER rating of 20 at most.

Do ductless mini splits work well in Arizona heat?
Yes, modern ductless mini splits are designed for extreme heat and perform efficiently even during Phoenix’s hottest summer days.
How many zones can a mini split system handle?
Most systems can handle up to 8 zones, allowing you to control temperatures independently in different rooms or areas of your home.
Are ductless systems more efficient than central AC?
Generally yes, because they eliminate ductwork energy loss, which can account for 20–30% of cooling inefficiency in typical homes.
How long does mini split installation take?
For a standard single-zone system, installation typically takes one day; multi-zone systems may require 2–3 days depending on complexity.
