Multi-Split Ductless System

Multi-split ductless systems, like mini-splits, have one outdoor unit. The difference is that multi-split systems can have up to eight indoor units, all connected to one outdoor unit. This makes multi-split ductless systems a viable option for whole-home heating and cooling without the presence of ductwork.

Mini-split heating and cooling with a ductless mini-split multi-zone system can be a highly energy-efficient solution for both new construction and for comfortably heating and cooling an older home that doesn’t have ductwork. Each zone has its own indoor unit and a remote control. You can set a different temperature for each zone.

Common multi-zone configurations include:

You have a choice of the style and location of your indoor units. You may decide to use all of the same type of units, or different styles in different rooms. Options include:

A zone can be a single room or possibly two rooms in an open-concept home where you locate the indoor unit in a central location. Work with an HVAC professional with experience in designing and installing multi-zone ductless heating and cooling systems for the best results. 

American Standard has a partnership with Mitsubishi Electric. All of these multi-zone mini-split units, including ductless heat pumps, and indoor units such as wall-mount, floor-mount, and ceiling-mount mini-splits, are manufactured in the United States.
