Why Go Ductless?
No Ductwork Needed
Perfect for homes without central air or rooms that don’t connect to existing ducts. Just mount the indoor unit and go — minimal disruption, maximum comfort.
Zone-by-Zone Comfort
Each indoor unit has its own remote and thermostat. Heat or cool only the spaces you’re using — and stop fighting over the thermostat.
Energy Efficient & Whisper Quiet
Ductless systems are some of the most efficient HVAC options available. They use inverter technology to maintain even temperatures — and run quietly in the background.
Where Ductless Heat Pumps Shine
Bonus Rooms & Finished Attics
These spaces often aren't connected to your main HVAC — ductless gives you full comfort control without tearing into walls or ceilings.
Garages & Workshops
Get year-round comfort while you work, without wasting energy on the rest of the house.
Sunrooms & Enclosed Porches
Stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter — without dragging ducts through glass and framing.
Room Additions
Skip the costly ductwork extension. A ductless unit is fast, clean, and perfectly sized for the new space.
Older Homes with No Ductwork
Keep the charm. Add the comfort. Ductless is ideal for historic homes where adding ductwork just isn’t practical.
Whole-Home Zoned Control
Ductless isn’t just for single rooms — you can control temps in multiple areas independently, with one outdoor unit.
