What Are Mini-Splits?
A ductless mini-split is a compact heating and cooling system that delivers comfort right where you need it. Instead of relying on bulky ductwork, a small indoor unit connects directly to an outdoor system, giving you efficient, zoned control.
Mini-splits are perfect if your home doesn’t already have ductwork, or if you want to control the temperature in specific spaces without heating or cooling your entire house.
Why Choose a Mini-Split?
Lower Energy Bills
Mini-splits deliver comfort with high efficiency, cutting wasted energy from leaky ducts.
Zoned Control
Set different temperatures in different rooms so everyone stays comfortable.
Quick Install
Most systems can be installed in just a day or two, with no messy ductwork.
Quiet Operation
Units run almost silently, making them perfect for bedrooms and living spaces.
Improved Air Quality
Without dusty ductwork, mini-splits help keep your indoor air cleaner and healthier.
Space-Saving Design
Compact indoor and outdoor units fit where traditional systems can’t.
Best Applications
- Bonus rooms or garages that are always too hot or cold
- Sunrooms and enclosed porches where central air doesn’t reach
- Older homes without ductwork
- New additions or renovations
- Detached buildings like workshops or guesthouses
- Multi-zone setups for full-home comfort

Cost & Financing
Costs vary depending on the size of the system and how many rooms you want to condition. A single-zone system is more affordable, while multi-zone systems cost more but provide whole-home comfort. We'll give you a clear, upfront quote after a free in-home assessment.
Yes. Most homeowners qualify for $0 down, 0% interest for 12 months. It's quick to apply, won't impact your credit score, and makes upgrading to a ductless system easier.
Efficiency & System Selection
Yes. Mini-splits avoid the energy loss that comes with ductwork, and many models reach SEER ratings much higher than standard central systems. That means lower utility bills and better comfort.
We calculate the right size based on your square footage, insulation, and usage needs. Installing the wrong size system can lead to higher bills and poor comfort, so a professional assessment is key.
Repair vs. Replace
If you're tired of high bills, noisy operation, or uneven comfort, a mini-split is usually the smarter long-term investment. It provides permanent, efficient comfort and adds value to your home.
Timeline & Process
Most single-zone installations are completed in just one day. Multi-zone systems may take two days depending on how many rooms are included.
