Ductless Mini-Splits

Add comfort exactly where you need it—without ductwork. Ductless mini-splits provide quiet, efficient cooling and heating with precise room-by-room control. We design, install, and service single-zone and multi-zone systems for homes and light commercial spaces.

Where Ductless Shines

  • Additions, finished attics, basements, and sunrooms.
  • Homes without existing ductwork or with poor airflow upstairs.
  • Offices, studios, in-law suites, and detached buildings.
  • Hot or cold problem rooms you want to fix permanently.

Single-Zone vs. Multi-Zone

Single-zone pairs one indoor unit with one outdoor unit for a focused space. Multi-zone supports multiple indoor units (wall, floor, or ceiling cassette) on a single outdoor system—great for multiple rooms or floors with independent control.

Installation Basics

Site planning. Choose indoor unit locations for airflow, aesthetics, and service access; select an outdoor spot with proper clearances.

Lineset & drain routing. Neat exterior covers conceal refrigerant lines and drains; penetrations are sealed weather-tight.

Electrical. Dedicated circuit, disconnect, and surge considerations to protect electronics.

Commissioning. Pressure test with nitrogen, evacuate to target microns, weigh in charge, and verify heating/cooling performance.

Efficiency, Comfort, and Noise

Inverter-driven compressors modulate output to match the load, which means fewer temperature swings, excellent humidity control, and whisper-quiet operation. Cold-climate models provide reliable heat in winter while maintaining efficiency.

Care & Common Service

  • Rinse/wash filters every 1–3 months.
  • Keep outdoor coils clear of leaves and snow.
  • Professional coil and drain cleaning annually.
  • Diagnostics for sensor, board, or fan issues when performance drops.

FAQs

Where do ductless systems make the most sense?

Additions, finished basements, top-floor rooms, sunrooms, homes without ducts, and detached spaces.

Single-zone vs. multi-zone?

Single-zone = one indoor per outdoor. Multi-zone = several indoor units on one outdoor for independent room control.

Efficient in winter?

Yes—cold-climate heat pump models can heat efficiently well below freezing when properly sized.

How often to clean filters?

Every 1–3 months; schedule annual professional cleaning for coils and drains.
