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.

We had our furnace/heat pump winter check and service done by Matt, he was great, explaining what he checked and offering details about how well the units are running and that we were ready for the winter season. We have used Jonle since we moved to our new condo in 2016 subscribing to their Energy Savings/Preventive Maintenance Service Plan. It provides twice per year check up services by their friendly, knowledgeable service technicians. They explain what they have cleaned and checked and how your units are running which is helpful. The few times our unit needed a replacement part or repair, it was explained clearly; the repair was done promptly and the pricing was very reasonable. With Jonle, we feel very comfortable that our HVAC systems are always in top condition.

Whether it’s indoors or outdoors The Waterworks really takes care of business. They came out to fix our discharge line. The Waterworks technician even showed us where the home builder didn’t properly glue the fittings together. Before services is the photo on the left. After service is on the right.

Replacing an entire HVAC system is incredibly stressful. Not just because of the cost, but also the fear of being taken advantage of or making a really bad situation even worse. Our experience with JonLe, however, could not have been better. We would gladly give this review 10 stars if we could. First, Frank (a former installer now in sales) and our lead installer, Jared, have been with the company for 30 and 16 years respectively. Their experience showed immediately from the first visit. They pointed out simple improvements to the water line for the humidifier plus the ductwork with ways to increase airflow that have already made a huge difference in the performance of the new system. The price, warranty, and service agreement were all better than the four other Cincinnati companies we spoke with. JonLe also offered the most favorable financing terms on a new Carrier system, along with helpful information about a tax credit we can claim before the end of 2025. The best part of the entire experience was the installation by Jared and Sam. It took three days because they took their time and did things right. I’ve included photos of their craftsmanship. Thank you for turning a VERY stressful situation into a much easier one. Both in terms of the final product and the cost. You truly exceeded our expectations.
