No Ducts

• Central air: By far the most popular type of cooling system throughout the country, central air has two units: an indoor air handler/evaporator and an outdoor compressor/condenser. Like all air conditioning systems, a refrigerant circulates throughout the system, cooling your indoor air and dissipating this thermal energy outside of your home. This system requires extensive ductwork to extract warm air from your home and replace it with cool air.
• Ductless mini split: As its name suggests, a ductless mini split does not use ducts to distribute cool air, although it works just like a central air unit in other respects. The main distinction is the design of the indoor air handler/evaporator, whose sleek and compact profile is installed directly in the living space, either high on the wall or suspended from the ceiling. There is no duct intermediary. It connects to the outdoor unit by means of a group of electrical, refrigerant, and drainage lines.
• Geothermal: This comprehensive, year-round solution uses the moderate temperature of the ground to keep your home cool during the summer. An “earth loop” of piping is installed in a horizontal bed, or in deep vertical wells, and these connect to a heat pump. The cool temperature of the ground moderates the air drawn from your home, and cools it using the thermal energy of the earth.
