Ductless Mini Split Repair & Installation

Want to save money and reduce your carbon footprint while enjoying improved comfort and convenience?

Go ductless.

A ductless mini split pairs an outdoor unit containing the compressor and condenser with one or more indoor air handling units that are mounted to walls or ceilings throughout your home. No ductwork is needed!

The air handler transfers the warm and cold air from the outdoor unit and circulates it directly into your home.

Ductless mini split systems are an efficient, flexible alternative to traditional HVAC setups, especially when ductwork is limited or space needs vary. Whether upgrading comfort in a single room or improving overall efficiency, a mini split could be the perfect solution.

Consider installing one if you’re looking to:

Zone Your Way to Comfort

Creating an HVAC zoning system is perhaps the most common reason to install a ductless mini split. Instead of heating or cooling your entire house with a central system, you can install a mini split in a specific room (like a bedroom, living room, or home office) and only heat or cool that zone when it's occupied. This saves energy and money by not conditioning unused spaces.

Supplement Your Central HVAC System

If you have a central HVAC system that struggles to keep a particular room comfortable, such as a sunroom or upper floor, a mini split can be installed in that specific area to provide supplemental heating or cooling, balancing the temperature across your home.

Improve Your Indoor Air Quality

Many mini split models have multi-stage filtration systems that capture dust, allergens, and other airborne particles, helping to create a cleaner, healthier environment. Some models even include advanced filters that neutralize odors and reduce bacteria. Ask our team about improving your indoor air quality!

Adding a New Room?

When adding a new room, finishing a basement, or converting a detached garage or shed into a workout room or rec lounge, extending existing ductwork can be costly and disruptive. A ductless mini split is an ideal solution for heating and cooling these new areas without major construction.

Here are five great reasons to consider going ductless:

Ductless Systems Are Easy to Install

You can install a mini split practically anywhere in your home. A conduit containing a refrigerant line, condensation line, and power cord connects the indoor and outdoor units. Want to add some comfort to your attic, basement, or garage without having to extend your ductwork? Go ductless.

Ductless Systems Are Incredibly Efficient

Most ductless systems have fans that can change their speed based on the temperature inside your home. Variable-speed air handlers start working at full speed, then switch to a slower speed when they reach the desired temperature. They continue running at a slower speed to maintain the temperature, saving energy.

Ductless Systems Are Quiet

These systems are whisper-quiet, you will not hear them running. The air no longer travels through creaky old ductwork, creating a rattling sound. Plus, the outdoor unit is much quieter than a conventional air conditioning unit. You could even install it near your bedroom window and sleep soundly all night.

Ductless Systems Operate in All Climates

You can install a cold-climate ductless heat pump that gets the job done in temperatures as low as 5 degrees Fahrenheit. No matter where in the North Bay or the weather you are having, a ductless system is perfect for your home.

Ductless Systems Allow You to Zone

As we stated above, ductless allows for HVAC zoning. Add more than one air handler to your home to create a zone control system. Each indoor unit has a thermostat, allowing you to create multiple temperature zones under the same roof. Why pay for air conditioning in an empty room?

Preventative maintenance plays a critical role in the upkeep of all your HVAC equipment. That especially holds true with ductless mini splits. These systems are incredibly reliable, but like any piece of machinery with moving parts, they require tune-ups and inspections.

You will need to wash the system filters at least once a month, more often if you have pets or anyone who smokes in your home. These reusable filters can clog up quickly, so be sure to clean them regularly.
