Once upon a time, ductless mini-split units only found homes in the U.S. in relatively mild climates. Think a nice stretch of the mid-Atlantic, perhaps, where summer is real enough to feel but where some homes had outdated systems or had been built without air conditioning and ductwork altogether. For some, ductless technology opened the door to overdue comfort in a living room or a bedrooom.
Since that early phase, developments in zoning capabilites have brought mini splits into the multiroom realm. And it goes without mention that the march of engineering progress has taken ductless systems on the road, into parts of the country where no mini split has ever gone before ... and that’s the sound of a new customer handing a contractor his credit card as he gets his first dose of efficient, near-silent heating and cooling.
