Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Ductless Mini AC Split?
Also called ductless mini-splits, these air conditioning units are a type of home cooling. Ductless mini AC split systems are so-called because they do not require installing any ducts, unlike other air conditioning systems. The slim, low-profile design of these systems is ideal for small homes in densely populated areas and in-home additions and renovations that cannot accommodate additional ducting.
Ductless mini-splits are efficient and cost-effective heating and cooling systems that are easier to install than traditional air conditioning systems. Additionally, their innovative design means that the installer can place the compressor in an inconspicuous location and run a line where the evaporator is needed.
Are Ductless Mini AC Split systems really quiet?
Ductless mini AC split systems are much quieter than traditional air conditioning systems and window AC units. There is no noise from air moving through ducts within the home because the ductless mini-split does not use them! Additionally, ductless mini-splits do not use large, loud outdoor condensers. The indoor portion of the unit uses a variable-speed fan, so you won’t hear disruptive and noisy clicks or startups when the unit powers on. Air blowers are whisper-quiet, even when designed to handle larger spaces.
How many rooms can a Ductless Mini AC Split handle?
Ductless mini AC split systems are small and flexible units designed to “zone” or cool a room or small space. A single outdoor unit can have several indoor zones, each with its own thermostat. Many people like having the flexibility to heat or cool different areas of the home to adjust for the comfort of family members who may disagree on the ideal temperature!
It is essential to figure out how well-insulated and sealed the home is to determine how large of a zone the ductless mini-split can handle. The installer will assess the living space to determine which ductless mini-split model is best.
How long will a Ductless Mini AC Split last?
You may be surprised to hear that the life expectancy of a ductless mini AC split system is usually much longer than other air conditioning systems. A wall AC unit will often last only ten years. Central heating and cooling systems have an average life expectancy of 15-20 years. But ductless mini-splits can last twenty years or longer, making them a wise investment. In addition, they are more energy-efficient because there is no loss of cooling or heating through ducts since there aren’t any. Like any other system, the key to a long life is maintenance.
Do Ductless Mini AC Split systems take a lot of space?
No! Ductless mini AC split systems are low-profile and ideal for small spaces. Because there is no need for ductwork, installing a ductless mini-split does not require any major renovation and is a great choice when space inside and outside the home is limited. The inside air handlers are larger than central air conditioning registers, but installers can usually place them in areas such as above a doorway that does not impact the way the space is used.
How do I maintain my Ductless Mini AC Split system?
All air conditioning systems require some maintenance to run optimally, and the ductless mini AC split system is no different. However, this system can work well for 20 years or more with regular maintenance. It is important to maintain the heat pump properly. You will need to change the filter about once a month, depending on the use and the model instructions. Wipe down the inside unit where you would typically dust, and clean off the outside unit at least twice a year. Check for obstructions in the vents, and do not block the unit.

Water Heater
The water heater is one part of the plumbing system that most homeowners don’t give much thought to, even though they use it every day. Your water heater provides you with the heated water to bathe with, clean with, and cook with, and should be cared for properly if you expect it to last. The purpose of a tank water heater is to store and heat water in a tank, which typically holds 40 to 50 gallons of water at a time and is kept on reserve until you require it. While taking a shower, running the dishwasher, or heating water in your home, the hot water stored in the tank is released and circulates throughout the house. Call Cyprus Air and we’ll send a technician to estimate the cost of an installation or replacement. Water Heater Options Professional installation is just the beginning of proper water heater care, but it’s a very important part. One of the biggest considerations you’ll need to make, after choosing between an electric or a gas-powered water heater, is whether you want a storage tank water heater, or a tankless system. Tank Water Heaters This is most often the type of water heater found in homes throughout Johns Creek and the surrounding communities. Today, they are built with safety and efficiency in mind, and built to last a very long time. But if you have a smaller family and aren’t getting through the entire tank of water each day, then you are wasting energy, which could add up to be costly.Tankless Water Heaters- Tankless water heaters, as the name implies, do not require a tank. Instead of storing a reservoir of hot water, these are “on-demand” systems that supply hot water using heat exchangers when you turn on a hot water tap in your home.
Duct Cleaning
Do you know there could be piles of dirt built up in your air ducts? If you’ve never gotten your ducts cleaned, you’d probably be shocked at the build-up inside your home. Debris left in your air duct will have negative effects on your health, especially if someone in your home is sensitive to allergens. Similar to a maintenance on your air conditioning and furnace, will improve the efficiency of your HVAC unit, saving you money! Clean ducts mean your system won’t have to push as hard to deliver air throughout your home, and the air it does circulate through your home won’t carry excess dust with it. A duct cleaning includes sealing up any leaks in your system and clearing out any dust and debris build up inside the vents.

Ductless Mini AC
Ductless AC Systems
Ductless Mini Split AC Systems are a popular and efficient way to cool the interiors of today's homes, businesses, and community buildings. Whether you're looking to install a single mini-split or a series of mini split ac systems in multi-unit housing, a large apartment or condo complex, company offices, or a community performance center, ductless mini splits may be the best option.
Your mini split system's indoor air handling and distribution units are individually controlled, allowing you to raise or lower room (zone) temperatures using a remote control. You can easily and conveniently cool only the rooms in your home or business that are actually being used throughout the day and night, lowering your monthly energy costs. You can also cool one or two zones at a time if you don't want to spend the money to cool all the zones in your home or office at the time of your initial mini split purchase and installation. One of the numerous advantages of a ductless system is its adaptability.
Installation and Services
When it comes to installation, these units require a unique approach. Our group of trained technicians knows how to complete this job correctly. All installations should have reliable circulation expertise to help you get the most out of your ductless mini-split system's airflow.
