Are you in the market for an HVAC system upgrade that's both efficient and flexible? Ductless mini-split systems might be exactly what you need. Our knowledgeable technicians and installers are ready to assist property owners in picking the most suitable mini-split system for your home. And when it's time to proceed with installation, we are committed to a seamless and expert fit.

Different from standard furnaces that use ductwork, mini-split systems operate on a similar principle to heat pumps. This layout involves a direct connection between the indoor and outdoor components of your system. Opting for a professionally installedmini-split system can bring a variety of benefits to homeowners, including:

  • Flexible installation options: A unique part 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, ceiling cassettes or something sleeker, mini-splits offer the versatility you need.
  • Affordable, yet high efficiency Conventional heating and cooling systems can be expensive to install and maintain, especially when it comes to ductwork installation. Mini-splits on the other hand, can be installed discreetly where they’re most effective. For many installation projects, this means reduced expenses for installation labor.
  • Higher energy efficiency: Mini-splits are intended to deliver precise, targeted heating or cooling. Independent zone control means energy is only used where it’s needed. This means you can minimize energy wasted sending climate control to rooms you aren’t actively using, unlike traditional ductwork systems.

Individually Zoned Mini-Split Units vs. Multi-Zone Systems

When choosing the best mini-split system, consider that single-zone mini-splits are suited for specific areas, whereas multi-zone systems enable independent climate control across several areas of your home.

Choosing Optimal Mini-Split Placement: Different Types and Their Advantages

The installation site of your mini-split system is crucial for peak performance. Below are the various installation methods along with their advantages:

  • Wall Mounted: These units are straightforward to install and are a cost-effective option. Wall-mounted mini-splits efficiently distribute your desired temperatures for both heating and cooling.
  • Floor Mounted: An effective option for homes where standard mounting isn’t feasible.
  • Ceiling Cassette: Ceiling cassette mini-splits excel at servicing large areas. They're typically designed to integrate smoothly with your ceiling's appearance.
  • Concealed Duct: Hidden from view, concealed duct mini-splits are perhaps the most indiscreet option. They are highly effective for homes with several rooms or large open layouts, delivering a clean look with effective performance.
