With the summer weather seemingly getting more extreme every year, installing a ductless mini-split in Seattle, Washington makes sense. These units don’t require the same level of retrofitting as a central air conditioning unit, ensuring your cooling system is up and running quickly and efficiently.
However, you’ll still want to do a bit of reading before making the leap and purchasing one of these systems to guarantee it’s the right choice for your home. Contacting a professional contractor to handle the installation is also worth your while because it’s a bit complicated.
How These Systems Work
Although the term ductless mini-split might sound complicated, it’s actually pretty simple. The gist is that, as the name suggests, these assemblies don’t use your ducts. Instead, they’re broken down into two units – one inside and one outside – which work together to cool your home.
The key is the copper tubing that runs between the two units. This tubing transfers refrigerant quickly and safely, allowing the system to do its job.
The outside portion of your system contains refrigerant, a fan, and a compressor. The compressor’s job is to move the refrigerant through an expansion valve, which is what cools it. From there, the refrigerant moves through the copper tubes to the inside part of the unit.
The indoor section of this system is mounted on your wall. It also holds some coils, which cool as the refrigerant passes by them. The unit then sucks in hot air, which the coils chill before the unit blows the air back into the room. The warm air and some condensate then pass back through the copper tube and into the outdoor portion of the system and restart the process.
The result of this movement is an efficient climate control system that cools the rooms where the wall unit is mounted. You can install multiple wall-mounted units inside your home to take full advantage of this cooling power, too.

More Information on Ductless Mini-Split Systems
Digging a little deeper into these ductless systems, there are a few other things you should know before investing your hard-earned money into one of these products.
First of all, you should know that ductless mini-splits are almost silent. Many units run at 25 decibels, so you won’t hear much when it’s operating. If you have kids or like a quiet house, you can’t beat these products when it comes to noise.
Next, you should know that ductless mini-split systems require very little maintenance. All you’ll have to do is take out the filter once a month and run it under some water. You’ll then give the filter some time to dry before popping it back into the interior unit.
It’s also a good idea to have a technician conduct some routine maintenance on your Seattle ductless mini-split once per year. This maintenance will ensure the unit is adequately pressurized and that the condensate lines are clean.
