How Do Ductless AC Systems Work?
Ductless air conditioners, also known as mini-split systems, consist of:
- An outdoor unit (compressor/condenser)
- One or more indoor air handlers (mounted on walls or ceilings)
- A small conduit that connects the units (carrying refrigerant, power, and drainage)
Unlike traditional HVAC systems, mini-splits don’t require ductwork, which means:
- No energy loss from ducts, increasing efficiency.
- Individual zone control, allowing customized temperatures in different rooms.
- Less intrusive installation, perfect for older homes, room additions, or commercial spaces.
Is a Ductless AC System Right for You?
Mini-split systems are a great option for many residential and commercial applications, especially where ductwork is not available or impractical.
Ductless AC Is Perfect For:
- Older Homes – Retrofitting without major renovations.
- Room Additions – Avoid extending existing ductwork.
- Garages & Basements – Improve comfort in under-cooled areas.
- Apartments & Condos – Zoned cooling for small spaces.
- Businesses & Offices – Individual temperature control for different rooms.
If you’re looking for an energy-efficient, quiet, and flexible cooling system, ductless AC is the perfect solution.

We’ve been loyal JonLe customers since 1996 which included replacing all furnaces and A/C units as well as installing zoned heating and cooling solutions throughout our homes. They are always highly professional, prompt with excellent service at all times. I would not go anywhere else. Their sales, installation and service teams are first rate! Thanks JonLe!
On time, detailed, courteous, & kind… explained options & what they were doing & fees clearly / no surprises
Easy to book an appointment through the site, my technician actually showed up early and was clean, polite and efficient. He explained the issue clearly and got our outdated water heater replaced same day.
These folks do a great job. They're prompt, courteous, and know what they're doing. They supply top of the line repair parts.
No complaints about this company. They hsve been quick to help me with any issues. A tech named Chad helped me today. He was thorough and helpful.
Had some gutter work done and needed line ran to make sure there were no blockage. Tech ran camera to check first it there was an problem, there was not.
We have always had a superiority experience with JonLe Heating and cooling. Great salesmen ,installers technicians and customer service would highly recommend over and over Thank you JonLe
Collin came out and was extremely professional and arrived on time. He did excellent work and explained everything clearly while also keeping a great, friendly conversation throughout the visit. Our issue was that no water was coming out of the tub faucet. Not only did he fix that problem, but he also repaired a leaking pipe connected to the tub spout that we didn’t even realize needed attention. The pricing was very reasonable for the quality of work. We were very satisfied with the service and will definitely be using this company again in the future.
The Jonle guys just completed the 2x / year service and were great to work with. From putting booties on before they entered the house, to their quick, efficient and effective work, to their knowledge- all was great. I recommend them all the time!
Our sump pump was found leaking on a Saturday around 2p. I called immediately and we were able to arrange for an emergency appt. Garrett was a great plumber, courteous/professional and very efficient in his work late that evening. My only complaint would be the lack of ability to know a time or have more frequent communication about the workers arrival time after my initial call. I had to call around 10p and they finally confirmed an appt from 10:45p-12:45a. Service was excellent and price was reasonable. Would have given 5 stars if communication was better about the appt time.
I’ve worked with Waterworks several times for work (a car wash). They always provide service in a timely manner, have fair pricing, are upfront and honest, and very professional.
Kevin was most knowledgeable, professional and courteous. Answered all my questions and helped me formulate a plan of action.
I made an emergency call because I couldn’t get my kitchen sink back together without leaking. The technician came out, tightened a few things and said Merry Christmas- no charge. So grateful.
My tech was professional, and the price was reasonable. Before the tech left, it appeared the problem was solved, however it turns out only part of it was. I reached out them immediately, and the tech returned the next day. He fixed all the problems on my initial complaint, found one more issue and addressed that, too. He spent a lot of time in my home, was very polite and competent. I will use Waterworks again.
Have always been pleased with Waterworks. They’ve done several jobs for us. Quick, friendly, good service for good prices that are always quoted ahead of time. Recent repair was under the kitchen sink. Came in, evaluated the problem, got materials from the truck, and had the job done in about an hour. Very satisfied.
Technician was on time and courteous and friendly. He answered my questions fully and knowledgeably. Pleased with Jonle for sure.
My tenants did not have working water over the weekend and no vendors were available. Waterworks were able to come out on the same day and get the repairs and water turned back on within hours. Susan from dispatch is wonderful and techs Jeff Nick and Tommy were very communicative and got the job done. I would 1000% reccomend to anyone for after hours or over the weekend emergencies.
Peter was right on time, very personable, and clearly explained what he had to do to replace the corroded pipe under my bathroom sink. He wasted no time getting the job done. I am very satisfied with his work and happy to have a functioning sink upstairs again!
Had a busted water pipe replaced. Technician was fantastic and did a great job. I used Waterworks for the same problem last year. I think the pricing has substantially increased from last year. The do a really good job, so I would still recommend.
We have been with JonLe for over 3 years now. Love the promptness, respectful and excellent service, and the connection they maintain in reminding us to have someone check and service our equipment for longevity. Couldn't be happier.
Noah did a great job doing our Fall/Winter HVAC checkup today! He was very prompt, checked everything thoroughly and made sure we had no questions afterward. We appreciated his professionalism and kindness throughout. Highly recommend JonLe!
So happy with Jonlee and the technician that solved the gas leak in my furnace. They were able to fit me in and were onsite within 2 hours!! Phenomenal!
Was timely, courteous, and reasonably priced. Provided a clear diagnosis. Couldn’t fix because my system appears to be obsolete 😭😭😭
Great company timely, polite, knowledgeable. Would recommend giving them a call so much better than other plumbing companies.
Excellent next day service. Showed up on time. Service tech, Ivan, was fantastic and seemingly has solved the issue. Impressed that he triple checked his results before leaving. 3rd time they've done work for us and they're great.
They have done a lot of work for me over the years. They don’t replace things that don’t need replacing. They give a fair price and do great work
