Ducted Mini Splits & Air Handlers
A ducted mini split system is the preferred choice for contractors and homeowners who want the unmatched efficiency of an inverter heat pump, but refuse to compromise on aesthetics. With a hidden mini split, the indoor air handler is completely concealed within a drop ceiling, closet, or attic. You only see elegant grilles on your ceiling or walls. We offer single-zone and multi-zone (up to 6 zones) configurations.

Types of Ducted Systems
| Type of Unit | How It Works & Best Use Case |
|---|---|
| Concealed Slim Duct | A highly compact slim duct mini split hidden inside a drop ceiling or soffit. Delivers air via short, localized ducts to 1-2 rooms. Ideal for modern renovations. |
| Multi-Position Air Handler | A vertical/horizontal unit mounted in a utility closet. Designed as a direct drop-in replacement for old, inefficient central AC air handlers. Uses existing home ductwork. |
| Universal Floor/Ceiling | While not "ducted", these units offer a middle ground. Installed flush against the ceiling or low on the floor, providing a cleaner look than standard wall mounts. |

FAQ: Ducted Mini Splits
🏗️ What is a concealed duct mini split? ›
A concealed duct mini split (or slim duct) is a very thin indoor unit designed to be hidden inside a drop ceiling or architectural soffit. It uses very short duct runs to push air through standard ceiling or wall grilles, making the equipment virtually invisible.
🔄 Can I replace my central AC with a mini split? ›
Yes! You need a multi position air handler. This unit is designed to directly replace your old central AC air handler in your utility closet. It connects to your existing ductwork but is powered by an ultra-efficient, variable-speed mini split condenser outside.
❄️ Do these systems work in extreme cold? ›
Many of the ducted mini split systems we carry from Cooper & Hunter feature Hyper Heat technology. This means the outdoor condenser is equipped with a basepan heater and freeze protection, allowing it to heat your home efficiently even at -22°F.
⚡ Can I have multiple zones with a ducted system? ›
Yes. A single large outdoor condenser can power a mix of indoor units. You could have a slim duct mini split hiding in the ceiling of your living room, and standard wall-mounted units in your bedrooms, all running off one ducted heat pump system.
