How Ductless Mini-Splits Work
Ductless AC systems (also called mini-split ACs) consist of an outdoor condenser unit and one or more wall-mounted indoor units. These are connected by small refrigerant lines, requiring only a small wall opening — making them perfect for homes where ductwork is impractical.
You control each indoor unit independently, offering precise temperature control room by room.
Why Ductless AC Is Perfect for Brooklyn Homes
Many homes in Brooklyn weren’t built with ductwork in mind — especially historic brownstones or pre-war buildings. Ductless air conditioning systems offer a flexible, energy-saving alternative to central air without invasive construction.
Top Benefits of Ductless Mini-Splits in Brooklyn:
- Zoned Comfort: Cool individual rooms or floors independently
- No Ducts Required: Ideal for homes with limited space or no ductwork
- Improved Air Quality: Fewer allergens and dust compared to ducted systems
- Quick Installation: Often completed in a day, with minimal disruption
- Energy Efficiency: Reduce cooling costs with modern inverter technology

Ductless AC vs. Central Air Conditioning: Which Is Right for Your Brooklyn Home?
Choosing between ductless air conditioning and central air depends on your home’s layout, your energy goals, and your renovation plans. At Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning, we install and service both — so we’re here to help you make the best decision for your space.
Ductless Air Conditioning
Ductless air conditioning is often the best choice for Brooklyn brownstones, pre-war buildings, and older homes that don’t already have ductwork. These systems are compact, energy-efficient, and require minimal construction — making them ideal for retrofits, renovations, or room additions.
Because each indoor unit can be controlled independently, ductless systems offer zoned comfort, allowing you to cool only the rooms you use. This zoning can lead to significant energy savings over time. Installation is typically quick — often completed in just a day or two — and the wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted units are designed to blend in with your home’s interior.
When to Choose Ductless:
- You live in a brownstone, pre-war, or row house without ductwork
- You want independent temperature control for different rooms or floors
- You’re adding a new space or converting a garage/basement
Central Air Conditioning
On the other hand, central air conditioning may be a better fit if your home already has ductwork in good condition, such as in newer construction or previously renovated buildings. Central systems distribute air through vents and can cool the entire house uniformly with a single thermostat. While central air is typically less flexible in terms of zoning, it can be more cost-effective if ducts are already in place and you prefer a completely concealed cooling system with no visible indoor units.
When Central Air Might Make Sense:
- Your home already has ductwork in good condition
- You prefer fully hidden components with no wall units
- You’re planning a full home renovation where duct installation is feasible
