The only thing people would see would be the outside of the ductless unit and the air vents that pushed the air out
When my husband mentioned the idea of installing a ductless mini split system into our basement instead of connecting our existing ductwork for central heat and air, I was against it. We were renovating our basement and finishing it so that we could utilize the space as a family and for entertaining. I really wanted to continue using our central HVAC system because it would be sleek and minimal. The thought of installing a ductless unit to the wall was distracting to the eye and it would take up space. Ductwork and central HVAC was all hidden behind the drywall and the only evidence of an HVAC system were the air vents. My husband was adamant about a ductless mini split system though because he thought it would heat and cool our basement more efficiently. I knew he was probably right, but I couldn’t get past the idea of having a large piece of HVAC equipment mounted to the wall. My husband would not be deterred, and he came to me with a ductless unit that could be mounted into the ceiling. The entire ductless unit could be installed flush against the ceiling so that there was no extra equipment hanging. The only thing people would see would be the outside of the ductless unit and the air vents that pushed the air out. The ductless unit could even be painted to match the color of the ceiling so that it blended in even more. This was the perfect solution for us!
