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 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.

Wade, your technician was very thorough and professional. Above all, he was persistent and did not give up on clearing the drain pipe clog, even after snaking the drain multiple times! Step by step he considered all potential causes until the clog was cleared. Thank you Wade.

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 are repeat customers of Waterworks, and this most recent appointment did not disappoint. Everything from opening the ticket to getting a technician out Josh was absolutely fantastic both yesterday and today. He took time to explain everything from start to finish, balance out opportunities, and priorities and made it really easy and simple to understand everything. Waterworks is fantastic, which is why we continue to use them. Update as of 02/12/26: We really love Waterworks. Huge fan as we've used them for years. Called on Monday, secured an appointment for Thursday snagging the morning 4 hour window. Got a call from John at near 10 am - he was on his way. Arrived friendly, professional and efficient. Knocked it out at noon and we had our new kitchen faucet ready to roll. I wish Google could let us give more stars as Waterworks is very deserving. We'll continue to partner with them!

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. Gj and Doris Poore Walton Ky

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.
