A ductless mini-split air conditioner works like a regular central air conditioner but without the ducts. Now in a regular split system air conditioner, the indoor unit is in the attic or closet. Ducts carry your home's air to this central location, where it is cooled and then returned to your home via more ducts. But in a mini-split ductless system, the smaller indoor unit is actually in the room it’s cooling.

The indoor unit simply pulls in warm air from the room it's in and blows cold air right back into the room. Here’s how: Multiple indoor units can connect to a single outdoor unit to provide air conditioning to your entire home. And there are a variety of indoor unit styles to fit different rooms.

A mini-split ductless air conditioner can has several advantages over a traditional central AC. Namely: If you’re adding AC to a room or home that doesn’t already have ducts, mini-split systems can be a great alternative to the expense of installing a bunch of ductwork. Most ductless mini-split systems are heat pumps. That means they can both heat and cool your home, eliminating the need for a separate heater. Of course, you can get central air heat pumps, but it’s an upgrade. Related: What is a Heat Pump? Since each area of your home has a separate indoor unit, you can individually control the temperature of each part of your home.

And duct leakage is a real problem with central air conditioners. In fact, ENERGY STAR estimates that in a typical home “about 20 to 30 percent of the air that moves through the duct system is lost due to leaks, holes, and poorly connected ducts.”

A common misconception around ductless mini split systems is that they are comparable to a window unit in both performance and cost. While they do both provide condition air to a living space without the need for ductwork the similarities stop there. Window units are very inefficient, generally louder, and much more visibly intrusive than a similar sized ductless system. Window units are not practical for long term use and provide very little control over the desired rooms overall comfort level unlike its  ductless mini-split competitor.
