Carlsbad Ductless Air Conditioning
Serious Cooling in a Small Package
A full-size central cooling system isn’t always the perfect solution to every cooling problem. In fact, for many applications, it simply isn’t practical. What if you want to add cooling power to your garage to make it a more tolerable workshop while you’re spending time out there? What if you’re adding on to your home and need to add air conditioning to the new space? These are just a few of the instances where a ductless mini split system might be the perfect solution. At John Stevenson Plumbing, Heating & Air, we proudly offer installation, repair, and maintenance services for ductless mini split cooling systems.

Benefits of Ductless Mini Splits
When considering cooling and heating options for your home, ductless mini-split systems offer several compelling advantages over traditional HVAC systems. These versatile systems consist of an outdoor compressor unit and one or more indoor air-handling units, connected by a conduit carrying refrigerant and power.
Key benefits of opting for a ductless mini-split system include:
- Energy Efficiency: Ductless mini-split systems operate without the energy losses associated with ductwork, resulting in higher efficiency and lower utility bills. They use inverter-driven compressors that adjust output to match the heating or cooling needs of the space, further optimizing energy consumption.
- Zoned Heating and Cooling: One of the most significant advantages of ductless mini-splits is their ability to provide zoned heating and cooling. Each indoor unit can be controlled independently, allowing occupants to customize temperatures in different areas of the home to suit their preferences, enhancing comfort and energy savings.
- Easy Installation: Unlike traditional HVAC systems that require extensive ductwork, ductless mini-split systems are relatively easy to install. They require only a small hole in the wall to accommodate the conduit, making them ideal for retrofitting older homes or room additions where ductwork installation is impractical.
- Improved Indoor Air Quality: Ductless mini-split systems feature advanced filtration systems that help remove dust, allergens, and other airborne particles from the indoor air, promoting cleaner and healthier indoor environments.
- Quiet Operation: Ductless mini-split systems are known for their quiet operation, with the noisy compressor unit located outdoors and the indoor units producing minimal noise, providing occupants with peaceful and comfortable living spaces.
Why Go Ductless?
Ductless HVAC offers so many perks and benefits that a full-size central cooling system simply can’t match. Their smaller size means they are a far greater option for smaller-scale projects like cooling a garage, guesthouse, pool house, or workshop, where central cooling may be prohibitively expensive. Because they don’t require any air ducts, they are far faster and easier to install, and that means their overall cost is lower as well. Plus, with the amount of features that modern systems are typically outfitted with, they can even offer you flexibility that a central cooling system can’t even match.
Ductless systems are great for all of the following:
- Home additions
- Basements
- Workshops
- Garages
Ductless systems typically require nothing more than one small hole in your wall in order to run electric and refrigerant lines from your indoor unit to the outdoor unit, and that makes installation fast and safe.
Whole-Home Ductless Systems
Some homes might even benefit from a ductless cooling system. By installing a series of units around your home, you can adjust temperatures to different comfort levels based on what rooms are currently being used. This means not only is there no more squabbling over the thermostat, but you can actively choose what rooms you are using to save money in the process!
