With temperatures that hover in the high 90s and humidity that’s often over 70%, the Atlanta area can be unbearably hot in the summer. Can a ductless mini-split air conditioner be a viable cooling solution in this climate?<\/p>\r\n

Even with their small size, ductless mini-splits can be quite effective in the South.<\/p>\r\n

How Does a Ductless Mini-Split Work?<\/h2>\r\n

A ductless mini-split<\/a> consists of a condenser unit outside and one or more indoor air handlers, each with refrigerant lines and electrical wiring to connect the air handler to the condenser.<\/p>\r\n

The condenser unit houses the condenser coil, a condenser fan, and the compressor, while the air handler includes the evaporator, the air filter, and the blower fan.<\/p>\r\n

To cool your home, air from inside your home is blown over the evaporator coil, where the refrigerant inside expands into a gas and absorbs the heat.<\/p>\r\n

The vaporized refrigerant then travels to the outdoor unit, where it’s compressed and passed through the condenser coil. Here, it releases the heat to the outdoors and condenses back into a liquid before it’s sent back to the air handler to begin the cycle again.<\/p>\r\n
