Our expert technicians and installers are ready to help homeowners like you in picking the most suitable mini-split system for your home.

Different from standard furnaces that use ductwork, mini-split systems function similarly to heat pumps. This design involves a straightforward linkage between the indoor and outdoor components of your system. Going with a properly installedmini-split system can bring a variety of benefits to homeowners, including:
- Flexible installation options: A particularly helpful part of a mini-split’s design is how many options you have for installation placement for a number of different areas. Whether you prefer wall-mounted units, cassettes recessed into the ceiling or a more streamlined approach, mini-splits offer the versatility you need.
- Affordable system costs: Conventional heating and cooling systems can be expensive to install and maintain, especially when dealing with ductwork installation. Mini-splits on the other hand, can be tucked away where they’re needed most. For many installation projects, this means reduced expenses for installation labor.
- Surprisingly robust energy efficiency: Mini-splits are engineered to deliver precise, targeted heating or cooling. Independent zone control means energy is only used where it’s needed. 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. Multi-Zone Systems
When choosing the best mini-split system, remember that single-zone mini-splits are ideal for cooling or heating individual rooms, whereas multi-zone systems enable independent climate control across multiple spaces of your home.
