How Do Ductless AC Systems Work?

Ductless air conditioners, also known as mini-split systems, consist of:

  • An outdoor unit (compressor/condenser)
  • One or more indoor air handlers (mounted on walls or ceilings)
  • A small conduit that connects the units (carrying refrigerant, power, and drainage)

Unlike traditional HVAC systems, mini-splits don’t require ductwork, which means:

  • No energy loss from ducts, increasing efficiency.
  • Individual zone control, allowing customized temperatures in different rooms.
  • Less intrusive installation, perfect for older homes, room additions, or commercial spaces.  

Is a Ductless AC System Right for You?

Mini-split systems are a great option for many residential and commercial applications, especially where ductwork is not available or impractical.

Ductless AC Is Perfect For:

  • Older Homes – Retrofitting without major renovations.
  • Room Additions – Avoid extending existing ductwork.
  • Garages & Basements – Improve comfort in under-cooled areas.
  • Apartments & Condos – Zoned cooling for small spaces.
  • Businesses & Offices – Individual temperature control for different rooms.

If you’re looking for an energy-efficient, quiet, and flexible cooling system, ductless AC is the perfect solution.

JonLe was awesome to work with they didn’t hassle us during the buying process or make us feel rushed, they gave us time and space to figure things out and let us know if we had questions we were free to ask. Makes it easier when making a huge purchase for your home. We were able to call and schedule the new HVAC install quickly and they work efficiently and left everything clean and tidy when done! They explained everything to us when they finished the install and let us know all the important details and what to expect. I would highly recommend JonLe to anyone in need of a new HVAC system! They also had very easy finance options for the system which was also nice to see.

We’ve been loyal JonLe customers since 1996 which included replacing all furnaces and A/C units as well as installing zoned heating and cooling solutions throughout our homes. They are always highly professional, prompt with excellent service at all times. I would not go anywhere else. Their sales, installation and service teams are first rate! Thanks JonLe!

Jonle was recommended to me by a friend and I have been under contract with them for 2 years. Best decision ever. They call and schedule a check up of my furnace and heat pump twice a year at my convenience. Their employees are top notch and willing to answer any questions. I definitely recommend Jonle to anyone who asks.

Sam was very knowledgeable and treated our house with such respect. Our house is under construction. He wore covers over his shoes as not to track in debris and he cleaned up after himself as he was working and after his job was completed. Not only was the job completed with expertise but with such kindness and understanding. I hope Waterworks knows what a valuable employee they have.

We have been using JonLe for almost 40 years. We have never had a single problem with them. The office staff are always very friendly and helpful. The technician’s are always on time and very knowledgeable and respectful of your property. They will advise you have any issues and make suggestions to improve your heating and cooling systems but they are never a hard sell. They have been with us through 2 houses and now a condo. We always purchase the yearly maintenance package so they come once in the spring and again late fall or early winter. We wouldn’t think of going anywhere else. Thank you.

My intention was to have sent this email a few days ago, but it is only now that I have the opportunity to do so. I want to express my appreciation to Waterworks for the prompt response to our request for emergency services on Tuesday 1/27 and especially to Mat Ball, the technician who, despite weather conditions, made it to our home early that morning. Mat was knowledgeable and diligent and took care of the situation in a timely and professional manner. When the job was completed, he walked us through all that was needed to get it done. Many people take care of business, what sets Mat apart is the pleasant demeanor he exhibits while performing his responsibilities. Great Job, J.A.Mesquida

Had them do a water softener installation. Plumber who showed up at my house was very polite, personable, and efficient. Didn’t take him long at all to do the job, was even able to do things in a way that saved us about $400 off the original estimate. Would highly recommend this company for plumbing needs.
