Ductless AC Systems: Efficient and Affordable
We also sell and install ductless AC systems, through Gree & Daikin.
Sometimes, installing ductwork is neither flexible nor cost-effective. That’s where Gree & Daikin ductless solutions can cool (and save) the day. They’re a smart alternative to central, forced air systems and provide an excellent option for remodels, room additions and as a supplement to existing HVAC systems.
How It Works
Ductless air conditioners consist of three primary components:
- An outdoor condensing unit
- An indoor air handler/evaporator
- A 3”-4” diameter conduit housing a power cable, refrigerant tubing and a condensate drain
The condenser is installed outside the home or structure and the conduit is run from the outdoor unit to individual offices, bedrooms, living rooms, computer/server rooms, basements—anywhere a controlled temperature is desired. Wall-mounted interior units are then placed in the desired spaces to cool or warm air as needed by means of refrigerant flowing between the outdoor and indoor units through tubing in the conduit.

Zoned Comfort Control
One of the biggest advantages of a ductless air conditioning system is its ability to provide zoned comfort. Each indoor unit can be controlled independently, allowing homeowners to cool or heat specific rooms without wasting energy on unused spaces. This flexibility is especially valuable in larger homes, multi‑family properties, or additions where traditional ductwork isn’t practical.
Quick and Non‑Invasive Installation
Unlike traditional HVAC systems that require extensive ductwork, ductless AC systems can be installed quickly with minimal disruption. A small opening is made for the refrigerant line, and the system is ready to go—often in just a single day. This makes ductless solutions ideal for older homes, historic properties, or any space where running ducts would be costly or inconvenient.
Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings
Ductless AC systems are known for their exceptional efficiency. By eliminating duct losses and delivering conditioned air directly to the room, they reduce energy waste and lower monthly utility bills. Many models are ENERGY STAR® certified, helping homeowners save money while also reducing their carbon footprint.

FAQ
What is a ductless mini‑split system?
A ductless mini‑split system is a highly efficient heating and cooling solution that uses an outdoor compressor and one or more indoor air handlers. Unlike traditional HVAC systems, it doesn’t require ductwork, making it ideal for homes without existing ducts or for adding comfort to specific rooms.
Where can ductless AC systems be installed?
Ductless AC systems are flexible and can be installed in bedrooms, living rooms, basements, home offices, or even entire homes. They’re perfect for additions, older houses, or any space where running ductwork would be difficult or expensive.
Are ductless mini‑splits energy efficient?
Yes. Ductless systems are known for their high efficiency because they deliver heating and cooling directly to the rooms where they’re needed. This reduces energy loss through ducts and helps lower monthly utility bills.
Can ductless systems provide both heating and cooling?
Absolutely. Most ductless mini‑split systems are heat pumps, meaning they can cool your home in the summer and provide warmth in the winter. This makes them a year‑round comfort solution.
How long does installation take?
Installation is typically faster and less invasive than traditional HVAC systems. In many cases, a ductless mini‑split can be installed in just one day, depending on the number of indoor units required.
Do ductless systems improve indoor air quality?
Yes. Each indoor unit has its own filter, which helps reduce dust, allergens, and other particles in the air. This makes ductless systems a great choice for families concerned about indoor air quality.
What maintenance is required?
Routine maintenance includes cleaning or replacing filters and scheduling professional inspections to ensure optimal performance. TRS Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. offers maintenance services to keep your ductless system running efficiently year after year.
How long do ductless mini‑splits last?
With proper care, ductless mini‑split systems can last 15–20 years. Regular maintenance helps extend their lifespan and ensures reliable performance.
