Are you in the market for an energy-saving and flexible HVAC system upgrade? Ductless mini-split systems could be what you're looking for. Our expert technicians and installers are ready to guide property owners in picking the best mini-split system for your home. And when it's time to proceed with installation, we guarantee a smooth and professional fit.

Different from standard furnaces that use ductwork, mini-split systems work in a comparable way to heat pumps. This configuration involves a direct link between the indoor and outdoor units of your system. Choosing a well-installed mini-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 simple installation needs for a variety of spaces. Whether you prefer units mounted on the wall, cassettes recessed into the ceiling or a more streamlined approach, mini-splits offer the versatility you need.
  • Affordable, yet high efficiency Traditional HVAC 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 reduced expenses for installation labor.
  • Higher energy efficiency: Mini-splits are intended 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 traditional ductwork systems.

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.

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

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

  • Wall Mounted: These units are simple to install and are a budget-friendly 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 are ideal for wide coverage. They're typically designed to integrate smoothly with your ceiling's appearance.
  • Concealed Duct: Designed to be out of view, concealed duct mini-splits provide total flexibility. They are highly effective for homes with multiple spaces or lots of square footage, delivering a clean look with effective performance.

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