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. Â
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.

Rating
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.
Been with JonLe since 1999. Very responsive and very good service. Wil and Tim the techs have been excellent .
Peter came out to have a look at my garbage disposal, and repaired it very quickly. He was really friendly and knowledgeable. I have used Waterworks for different needs in the past, and I wouldn't think of calling anyone else.
Chris was fantastic. Replaced the piping under the sink and made sure the disposal and dishwasher worked. If needed again, i will call Waterworks and also request Chris.
Great service. the technician came punctually. Very friendly, very knowledgeable. Great service, no complaints.
Very polite and professional answered all my questions while he did the job and even cleaned up the area he was in. I am very happy I choose the right company. Thanks Water Works
Great service. On time with clear communication through the whole process. Great company!
Every technician we have encountered over the years has been friendly, competent, and thorough. It is very reassuring to know that someone is keeping an eye on our system to spot issues before they get worse.
Great and quick service, technical support was professional and friendly
The entire service was very professional and pleasant. Quick scheduling and prompt arrival. The technician Kevin has done a great job! We will definitely be working with him and other technicians again. 👍
The price that I indicated covers me for 12 months and two maintenances each year. It also results in reduced costs if I do end up having an actual problem as well as I promise that somebody would be at my home within an hour.
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. Very fast efficient service from The Waterworks!
Excellent service performed by your technician. Heating maintenance on my 24 yr old system which Jonle has kept running flawlessly for that time.
So far experience has been a good one. Company has communicated well and as promised, employee was knowledgeable and clear with expectations. I appreciate this as this kind of work can be stressful and I need to trust who I’m working with.
Waterworks was prompt in arriving and professional in solving our drainage problem. I will certainly use them again in the future.
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.
Noah was on time, checked furnace and explained what he was doing. Very satisfied.
Jason was my tech that was here to do our gold service for the winter... very courteous and did a very complete inspection as well as changing the humidifier filter... nice to have quality professional people doing our service... Thanks JonLee
Arrived on time. Took Extra Care to cover areas that might be in a Splash Zone. Explained everything clearly.
I have used this company for more than 20 years and am very satisfied with the service. I find the staff very pleasant and easy to work with
Answering Service was very courteous and knowledgeable. The technician we had (Matt) was very knowledgeable and explained in detail what the problem was and what needed to be done to correct it. He also explained some items that will need attention in the near future. My family has used JonLe for many years and highly recommended them.
We’ve happy and satisfied customers for over 20 years. JonLe sincerely given us less to worry about. The consummate skill and customer service is something we never take for granted and at the root is a fundamental trust that is absolutely unwavering. Thanks to Steve and the whole team.
Collin and Emily were personable and kept us informed. Great communication and service.
Jonle Heating & Cooling has been providing me service for many years. I have them come out twice a year for maintenance and they have a discounted rate if you sign up for the 2x year maintenance package. They send the same guy out each time so you get to know them and they know you. Great company and great employees.
As far as paying for a bunch of plumbing work, this was the least amount of pain as possible. Great service and knowledgeable - would use again.
Dan, from JonLe, did my routine HVAC maintenance. He was professional, quick, thorough, and friendly. Very pleased with JonLe for the last 13 years they've been maintaining my HVAC system.
Kind, courteous, and took the time to explain what they were doing and why. Thank you!
Excellent service.. on time..knowlegeble and easy to schedule. Highly recommend
Rodney did an excellent job repairing plumbing problems and cleaning up well after the job was done. He has excellent communications skills and is easy to work with.
We have been loyal Jon Le customers for more than 18 years. They are the very best in the business. Their HVAC technicians are very detail oriented and competent, especially Chad Schaber is a real pleasure to work with!
Jonle always offers excellent service from the knowledgeable folks who answer the phone and do their best to get you in to the honest service techs who come to your home. Highly recommend.
JonLe is always prompt and clean. The service guys have always been informative and listened to my questions. I have been with JonLe for 30 years. Highly recommend!!
