Are you in the market for an HVAC system upgrade that's both efficient and flexible? Ductless mini-split systems could be what you're looking for. Our skilled technicians and installers are ready to assist you in identifying the best mini-split system for your home. And when it's time to proceed with installation, we promise a professional and efficient fit.

Different from standard furnaces that use ductwork, mini-split systems function similarly to heat pumps. This design involves a direct link between the indoor and outdoor units of your system. Going with a properly installedmini-split system can bring a variety of benefits to homeowners, including:

  • Flexible installation options: A particularly helpful element of a mini-split’s design is how many options you have for simple installation needs for a number of different areas. Whether you prefer units mounted on the wall, cassettes recessed into the ceiling or something sleeker, mini-splits offer the versatility you need.
  • Affordable, yet high efficiency Conventional heating and cooling systems can be costly to set up and maintain, especially when dealing with ductwork installation. Mini-splits on the other hand, can be installed discreetly where they’re most effective. For many installation projects, this means lower overall costs for installation labor.
  • Strong energy efficiency: Mini-splits are engineered to deliver precise, targeted heating or cooling. Independent zone control means energy is only used where it’s necessary. This means you can avoid wasting energy on rooms you aren’t actively using, unlike traditional ductwork systems.

Single-Zone Mini-Splits vs. Multi-Zone Systems

When you’re trying to decide between different mini-splits, remember that single-zone mini-splits are suited for specific areas, whereas multi-zone systems enable independent climate control across several areas of your home.

Determining the Best Locations for Mini-Split Installation: Different Types and Their Advantages

The location of your mini-split system is vital for the best possible results. Below are several ways you can install mini-splits along with their benefits:

  • Wall Mounted: These units are very easy to install and are a cost-effective option. Wall-mounted mini-splits ensure even air distribution for both heating and cooling.
  • Floor Mounted: Best suited for homes where wall or ceiling installation is obstructed.
  • Ceiling Cassette: Mini-splits designed for the ceiling are ideal for wide coverage. They're effective HVAC systems without losing the ability to blend discreetly with your ceiling's appearance.
  • Concealed Duct: Hidden from view, concealed duct mini-splits provide total flexibility. They are the perfect fit for homes with multiple spaces or lots of square footage, providing a clean look with powerful performance.

Remember to consider the sizing, layout and other specific HVAC needs of your home before you go all in on mini-split systems. An experienced installer has the knowledge of each brand’s features to help you choose that much faster.
