Quiet, easy to use and energy efficient, ductless heating & cooling systems provide home heating 
and cooling at a fraction of the cost of electric baseboard and wall heaters. The simplified installation process and energy efficiency associated with ductless heating & cooling systems make them an excellent option for replacing existing zonal heating systems.
Ductless Heating & Cooling systems are available from many manufacturers. Each system consists of an outside unit and one or more inside “heads” that serve zones in your home. To learn more, please go to www.goingductless.com or visit our office to see a display model.

Ductless Heating & Cooling Systems Have 3 Main Parts
- An indoor unit is mounted on a wall.
- An outdoor unit sits on a concrete pad on the ground.
- A remote control is used to adjust the temperature.
The indoor and outdoor units are connected by a small bundle of cables, including a refrigerant line, that require a 3-inch hole in the wall for installation.
