Are you in the market for an upgrade to a more efficient and flexible HVAC solution? Ductless mini-split systems may be the answer. Our knowledgeable technicians and installers are ready to assist homeowners like you in identifying the ideal mini-split system for your home. And when it's time to proceed with installation, we guarantee a professional and efficient fit.

Unlike traditional furnaces that use ductwork, mini-split systems work in a comparable way to heat pumps. This design involves a direct link between the indoor and outdoor units of your system. Choosing a professionally installedmini-split system can bring a variety of benefits to homeowners, including:

  • Flexible installation options: A particularly helpful part of a mini-split’s design is how many options you have for installation placement for a variety of spaces. Whether you prefer units mounted on the wall, ceiling cassettes or a more streamlined approach, mini-splits offer the flexibility you need.
  • Affordable, yet high efficiency Traditional HVAC systems can be expensive to install and maintain, especially when it comes to ductwork installation. Mini-splits on the other hand, can be tucked away where they’re most effective. For many installation projects, this means reduced expenses for installation labor.
  • Higher energy efficiency: Mini-splits are designed to deliver accurate and localized heating or cooling. Independent zone control means energy is only used where it’s necessary. This means you can minimize energy wasted sending climate control to rooms you aren’t actively using, unlike the conventional, closed network of air ducts.

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

When making your decision, consider that single-zone mini-splits are ideal for cooling or heating individual rooms, whereas multi-zone systems enable independent climate control across multiple spaces of your home.

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

Where you choose to install your mini-split system is crucial for peak performance. Below are several ways you can install mini-splits along with their benefits:

  • Wall Mounted: These units are straightforward to install, making them a budget-friendly option. Wall-mounted mini-splits efficiently distribute your desired temperatures for both heating and cooling.
  • Floor Mounted: Best suited for homes where standard mounting isn’t feasible.
  • Ceiling Cassette: Ceiling units excel at servicing large areas. They're generally installed to blend discreetly with your ceiling's appearance.
  • Concealed Duct: Invisible when installed, concealed duct mini-splits offer the greatest versatility. They are highly effective for homes with multiple spaces or lots of square footage, providing a sleek aesthetic with powerful performance.
