You might have seen ductless cooling and heating systems in homes, restaurants, or offices—those small units mounted high on walls. But what do you really know about them?
Here are five key advantages of ductless systems:
1. Highly Flexible Solutions
Unlike traditional systems that distribute air through ducts, ductless systems deliver air directly into different zones. They consist of a small outdoor unit and one or more indoor units that require only mounting and electrical access. Often called split systems or multi-split systems, ductless systems are an efficient replacement for window units, space heaters, and electric baseboards. They can be installed in home additions, new constructions, condos, and apartments, or used to enhance temperature control in specific rooms. They can even integrate with existing ducted systems.
2. Cost Savings
One major reason homeowners switch to ductless systems is for cost savings. With utility costs rising, maintaining an inefficient system can lead to high bills. Ductless systems are more power-efficient, and because they deliver temperature-controlled air directly into rooms, there’s no loss of efficiency. Multi-split systems allow for zoned heating and cooling, meaning you only condition the rooms you use. Plus, you might be eligible for tax credits or utility rebates when installing a ductless system, providing additional savings.
3. Improved Indoor Air Quality
Indoor air quality can often be worse than outdoor air quality. Traditional HVAC systems can leave dust and allergens behind even after professional cleaning. Ductless systems feature multi-stage filtration that significantly reduces dust, bacteria, pollen, and other particulates, leading to cleaner, healthier air.
4. Quick and Easy Installation
Installing a traditional ducted system can be time-consuming and disruptive. Ductless systems are much less invasive to install and can be operational in as little as one day, depending on the number of units required. They use small pipes and only need a three-inch hole, so there’s no need to rebuild walls or ceilings around ductwork, preserving your home’s space and aesthetics.
5. Reduced Carbon Footprint
Ductless systems are highly energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. They follow ENERGY STAR guidelines, which exceed federal efficiency standards, reducing your carbon output. Ductless systems use R410A refrigerant, which has zero ozone depletion potential, further minimizing environmental impact.
Ductless cooling and heating systems are efficient, eco-friendly, and customizable, providing targeted comfort throughout your home year-round.

PROFESSIONAL & EXPERT STAFF
“I rarely write reviews but the work was so good that I want to submit a review in this case! Hillside completed a ductless heating and a/c system made by Mitsubishi for our home. 18k Btu unit (indoor and outdoor). From removal of the p-tak unit that had serviced our downstairs for 20 years, to patching the blockwork, running the 220 electrical line, installing the indoor and outdoor units, and then training us how to use the remote, the service was professionally performed by clearly expert staff.
We worked with Jerry to design the replacement, including its location, and the installation exactly as we had agreed. He met with us on 3 occasions prior to installation to make sure he had covered all of our questions.
We took several bids before settling on Hillside. The company bid an excellent price, provided the best warranty package, and planned all trades to complete tasks in just 1.5 days! We can’t be happier.”
