Ductless Mini Split

Do you have an older home without central air conditioning and heating ducts? Do you hate the cluttered look of window AC and heating units or swamp coolers on wheels? Luckily, there is a solution to this problem that doesn’t involve expensive ductwork updates or shoving bulky machinery in your windows. 

Ductless mini split air conditioning and heating units are connected to an outdoor compressor and mounted in various rooms on the wall, ceiling, or floor. They allow you to cool or heat only the rooms you’re using instead of wasting energy on cooling or heating empty rooms of your home.

More About Ductless Mini Splits

Ductless mini split air conditioning and heating units are great for cooling or heating single rooms or zones of your home. They can also be used to supplement other cooling or heating efforts. They are connected to the compressor with refrigerant lines instead of ducts. 

There are many benefits of ductless mini splits to residential properties. As a complement to your current heating and cooling equipment, they make sense since they are simpler to install than a complete ducted system, more efficient than window units, and can focus on cooling or heating only one room.

Because they’re mounted on a room’s ceiling, wall, or floor, you don’t have to block your natural light with big window air conditioning and heating units. They’re also relatively small, taking much less space than evaporative coolers. 

Ductless mini split systems are an excellent choice for zoned heating and cooling because they provide all the benefits of central HVAC with none of the hassles. Central heating and air conditioning systems circulate air across many rooms or the entire home, typically heating or cooling unused spaces.

Ductless Mini Splits Installation

We install a special brand of ductless mini split air conditioning and heating units. Our ductless air conditioning and heating systems are distinguished by their sleek, wall-mounted inside units and silent, space-saving outside units. 

The time it takes to build a ductless mini splits system highly depends on the number of interior units you want. Obviously, a system with just one room will require much less time than one with several rooms. 

Ductless systems are small, light, and straightforward to install, requiring just one three-inch hole in the wall for the refrigerant line. In addition, mini-splits outdoor condensers use far less space than a conventional central air conditioner because of their compact size.

We’ll analyze your home’s layout and advise you on the optimal placement of your indoor units. Finally, in each space, we’ll:

• Find the wall studs for maximum stability.
• Make tiny holes for the mounting brackets to go into.
• For optimal draining and performance, ensure the device is level and flush with the wall.
• The refrigerant, drain tubing, and control lines need additional, very small pilot holes to be drilled.
• Push the refrigerant pipe through the wall and connect the control wire to the indoor unit.
• The remaining wiring, tubing, and pipes may be pushed into the opening when the unit has been lifted.
• Verify both the wall mount and the unit’s attachment to it.
• The interior unit is in, and now we can go on to the outside unit.

Before we get started, we’ll scout out the best spot for your outside condenser. Next, we will:

• Mount the condenser to the outside wall using strong brackets, or set it up on a cement block on the ground.
• Join the outside unit’s pipes and tubing to the ones we ran inside the wall.
• Keeping the wire and tubing in place requires attaching it to an outside wall.
• Hide the wires and tubes to keep them safe and organized.
