Learn More About Mini-Split Systems
If you’re exploring an alternative to central A/C, a ductless mini-split is a fantastic choice! Unlike central A/C systems, ductless mini-splits do not require ductwork installation, making them ideal for room-by-room heating needs. Here are a few of the most commonly asked questions about mini-split installations:
Do Ductless Mini-Splits Provide Heating and Cooling?
They do! Ductless mini-split systems deliver both heating and cooling capabilities to specific rooms in your home. Functioning as heat pump systems, they eliminate the need for ductwork typically associated with full-scale heat pump setups. One major advantage associated with ductless mini-splits is their suitability for renovations or new room additions. They enable individual control of each room, allowing for energy savings and cost reduction.
Can Installing a Ductless Mini-Split System Save You Money?
In the long run, yes! While ductless mini-split systems may have a higher upfront cost compared to standard A/C units, their long-term efficiency translates into significant heating and cooling savings.
How Long Does It Take to Install a Mini-Split System?
Typically, the installation of a ductless mini-split system takes approximately 1 to 2 days. It generally requires no more time than the installation of a standard A/C system and often takes less time overall. The process typically depends on the number of rooms where the exchanger needs to be installed.

How much does it cost to replace a mini-split system?
The cost of replacing a ductless mini-split system can vary based on the unit type and installation location. The complexity of the installation process and the need for additional parts can also impact the cost.
Can a mini-split system be installed on an inside wall?
Absolutely! It is possible to install a mini-split on an interior wall. To determine the most energy-efficient and cost-effective approach for your specific installation location, we recommend reaching out to our team who can assess your home.
How long does it take to install a mini-split system?
The installation time depends on your home. On average, it takes approximately 4-6 hours to complete the installation, with additional units requiring a few extra hours.
How much space do I need for a mini-split installation?
This depends on the size of your home and the type of system being installed. If you’re installing a single-zone system that cools a specific area, it is typically necessary to allocate approximately three feet of space around the unit’s condensing and evaporator units.
What are the benefits of installing a mini split installation?
Mini-split systems provide an energy-efficient and economical solution for heating and cooling your home. The installation process is straightforward, involving a few essential components.
Are there any special permits or certifications that I require before installing a mini-split?
In most cases, yes. Certain local building and safety codes may require that the installation is completed by a licensed professional with experience in HVAC systems. Check with your local authorities to determine if any additional permits or certifications are needed before starting the project.
