Ductless/ mini-split system
The most basic ductless heat pump system consists of an outdoor unit and an indoor unit, which are connected by refrigerant pipes and wires to provide district heating and cooling without pipes.
The outdoor unit is installed on the wall outside the house; the refrigerant pipe connects the indoor unit and the outdoor unit through a small hole on the wall, which can directly transport the heated or cooled air to the living space. The system has two main components: 1. Outdoor compressor/condenser 2. Indoor air handling device (wall-mounted/ceiling-mounted) connected to the compressor/condenser.
In general, it is more affordable, and more efficient than a pipeline heat pump system. High-performance ductless heat pumps are an effective alternative to ducted heat pumps. It is also called a split heat pump.
The ductless multi-zone system can combine one outdoor unit with multiple indoor units to provide comfort for the entire family.
