Our skilled technicians and installers are ready to help homeowners like you in choosing the ideal mini-split system for your home.

Different from standard furnaces that require ductwork, mini-split systems work in a comparable way to heat pumps. This configuration involves a direct link between the indoor and outdoor components of your system. Going with a professionally installedmini-split system can bring a variety of benefits to homeowners, including:

• Different designs enable versatile installation: A unique part of a mini-split’s design is how many options you have for installation placement for a number of different areas. Whether you opt for units mounted on the wall, ceiling cassettes or a more streamlined approach, mini-splits offer the versatility you need.

• Affordable, yet high efficiency Traditional HVAC systems can be costly to set up and maintain, especially when it comes to 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.

• Surprisingly robust energy efficiency: Mini-splits are designed to deliver precise, targeted heating or cooling. Independent zone control means energy is only used where it’s necessary. 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. Models Compatible with Multi-Zone Designs

When you’re trying to decide between different mini-splits, keep in mind that single-zone mini-splits are ideal for cooling or heating individual rooms, whereas multi-zone systems enable independent climate control across several areas of your home.
