Are you in the market for an energy-saving and flexible HVAC system upgrade? Ductless mini-split systems might be exactly what you need. Our expert technicians and installers are ready to help homeowners like you in choosing the best mini-split system for your home. And when it's time to proceed with installation, we guarantee a smooth and professional fit.

Unlike traditional furnaces that require ductwork, mini-split systems function similarly to heat pumps. This layout involves a straightforward linkage between the indoor and outdoor units of your system. Going with a well-installed mini-split system can bring multiple benefits to homeowners, including:

  • Easily installed in different places: A particularly helpful element of a mini-split’s design is how many options you have for installation placement for a number of different areas. Whether you prefer wall-mounted units, cassettes recessed into the ceiling or a more streamlined approach, mini-splits offer the versatility you need.
  • Affordable system costs: Conventional heating and cooling systems can be expensive to install and maintain, especially when dealing with ductwork installation. Mini-splits on the other hand, can be installed discreetly where they’re needed most. For many installation projects, this means lower overall costs for installation labor.
  • Higher energy efficiency: Mini-splits are designed to deliver precise, targeted heating or cooling. Controlling each zone independently means energy is only used where it’s needed. This means you can avoid wasting energy on rooms you aren’t actively using, unlike the conventional, closed network of air ducts.

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

When making your decision, 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.

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

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

  • Wall Mounted: These units are straightforward to install and are a cost-effective option. Wall-mounted mini-splits ensure even air distribution for both heating and cooling.
  • Floor Mounted: Ideal in situations where standard mounting isn’t feasible.
  • Ceiling Cassette: Mini-splits designed for the ceiling excel at servicing large areas. They're effective HVAC systems without losing the ability to integrate smoothly with your ceiling's appearance.
  • Concealed Duct: Hidden from view, concealed duct mini-splits offer the greatest versatility. They are the perfect fit for homes with several rooms or large open layouts, combining a clean look with effective performance.

Consider the system’s size, the property’s layout and other specific HVAC requirements of your home before you go all in on mini-split systems. An experienced installer has the knowledge of each brand’s features to ensure you make an informed choice.
