Ductless mini-split systems offer flexible, energy-efficient cooling for spaces where traditional ductwork isn't practical or desired.
Not every space in your home is well-served by a central air conditioning system. Room additions, converted garages, sunrooms, older homes without existing ductwork—these all present cooling challenges that ductless mini-split systems solve beautifully. Central Air Systems has been installing and servicing mini-split systems throughout Palm Beach County for over 30 years, and we can help you find the perfect solution for your space.
A ductless mini-split consists of an outdoor compressor unit connected to one or more indoor air handlers via a small conduit. Unlike central AC, there's no need for ductwork—the indoor units mount directly on the wall or ceiling and deliver cooled air right where you need it. Multi-zone systems can have multiple indoor units connected to a single outdoor unit, letting you control the temperature in each room independently.
Ductless mini-splits are an excellent choice for many situations where traditional ductwork isn't feasible or cost-effective:
Mini-split systems are among the most energy-efficient cooling options available. Because they deliver air directly to each room without ductwork, there's no energy lost to duct leaks—which can account for 20-30% of cooling energy in traditional systems. Many mini-splits also feature inverter technology, which adjusts compressor speed to match the cooling demand rather than cycling on and off. This means lower energy bills and more consistent comfort.
Central Air Systems provides complete mini-split services. We'll help you choose the right system for your space, install it properly, and keep it running efficiently with regular maintenance. If your existing mini-split needs repair, our technicians are experienced with all major brands including Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, Daikin, LG, and more.
“Had Central Air install a mini split in our converted garage. It's now a home office and the cooling is incredible. Quiet, efficient, and the install was clean with minimal wall penetration. Exactly what we needed.”

“We added a mini split to our sunroom that our central AC could never keep cool. Central Air recommended the right size unit and the installation was done in about half a day. That room is now the most comfortable in the house.”

“Installed a multi zone mini split system for our mother in law suite. Central Air handled the whole project, including running the lines through the attic. Each room has its own control which is perfect. Great quality equipment and clean installation.”

“Our older home didn't have ductwork in the addition and running new ducts would have been a nightmare. Central Air suggested a ductless mini split and it was the perfect solution. Cools the space beautifully and our electric bill barely moved.”
Catherine Blake

“Central Air installed a mini split in my detached workshop. Now I can actually work out there year round. The unit is whisper quiet and cools the space down in minutes. Install was professional and they walked me through how to use the remote and clean the filters.”

“We got a ductless system for our master bedroom because it was always the hottest room in the house. Central Air installed it perfectly, tucked the line set away neatly, and the unit looks great on the wall. The temperature control is amazing. Best home improvement decision we've made.”

A single-zone mini-split system is often less expensive to install than extending ductwork for central AC, especially in retrofit situations. Multi-zone systems cost more but offer independent temperature control for each room. We provide free estimates so you can compare options for your specific situation. Call 561-585-6819.
A mini-split uses the same refrigeration principles as central AC but delivers cooled air directly into each room through wall- or ceiling-mounted indoor units. A small conduit containing refrigerant lines, power, and a drain connects each indoor unit to the outdoor compressor. There's no need for bulky ductwork.
Mini-splits are ideal for room additions, sunrooms, converted garages, older homes without ductwork, home offices, and any space that's difficult to cool with your existing system. They're also great for creating independent temperature zones in different areas of your home.
