DIY Disconnecting of a Ductless Air Condition Service

A ductless air conditioner is comprised of two parts: the indoor unit and the outdoor unit. The indoor unit is the main console that takes in hot air and distributes cool air through the room. This unit connects to the outdoor unit via copper tubing. The outdoor unit provides coolant to the indoor unit via the copper tubing. If you would like to disconnect your ductless air conditioner, you can remove the two pieces from your home individually.
