The older your home, the more likely it was built without ductwork. And making space for ducts now will take away the charm of your older house (not to mention the space you’re accustomed to). Not to worry, though. You can get reliable, efficient cooling with a ductless system, and you won’t be able to tell the difference between your home and a newer, centrally cooled home. In fact, the temperature and air quality in your home might even be better.
Ductless air conditioning systems connect an indoor unit with an outdoor unit to cool a designated zone in the home without any ductwork. A small, unobtrusive connection between the indoor and outdoor units quietly moves the treated air in or out.

This system is particularly popular in homes built before 1970, and includes:
An outdoor unit
A set of small, coaxial-sized cables
A refrigerant line
An indoor unit
A remote
The indoor unit is usually mounted high on the interior wall, connected by the refrigerant line and cables to the outside unit through a small, insulated hole in the wall.
It can be set to run automatically or controlled through the small, digital controller.
SYSTEM MOST USEFUL?
A ductless system is the best solution for homes without a central furnace or air conditioner, when a renovation adds more rooms to a house or the unfinished attic or basement is converted to a living space.
Rather than install new ductwork or expand the existing ductwork, a ductless system can provide efficient cooling at a lower operational cost while taking up less space than a traditional system.
