Why Ductless Mini Splits Are Popular in Portland

Ductless mini splits use a wall- or ceiling-mounted indoor air handler connected to an outdoor heat pump by small refrigerant lines, so no ductwork is required. They suit older Portland homes without ducts, plus additions, garages, basements, bonus rooms, and ADUs.

• Portland's mild winters make inverter-driven heat pumps highly efficient, heating and cooling on less electricity than older AC units.
• Inverter technology adjusts output to demand for stable temps, lower wear, and quieter operation.
• Zoning lets you set each room independently.

Installation avoids tearing into walls and ceilings, and qualifying systems may earn Oregon efficiency rebates.
