Product Details

What is a mini split system and how does it work?
A mini split is a ductless heating and cooling system that includes an outdoor compressor and one or more indoor air handlers. They connect via a small conduit, allowing for efficient, targeted comfort without the need for ductwork.

Are mini splits energy efficient?
Absolutely! Mini splits use inverter-driven technology and deliver zoned climate control, letting you heat or cool only the spaces you use—helping reduce both energy consumption and utility costs.

Can I use mini splits for both heating and cooling?
Yes. Most mini split models double as heat pumps, providing reliable heating in winter and cooling in summer, making them a year-round solution.

Is a mini split right for my home or business?
Mini splits are ideal for homes (including additions, renovated spaces, and zoned comfort) as well as commercial settings (offices, retail, server rooms) thanks to their versatility and scalability.

Can I install a mini split myself?
We strongly recommend professional installation to ensure safety, efficiency, and to maintain your warranty. Some models offer simplified installation for advanced DIYers—contact us to find the option that fits your needs best.

Energy Efficiency & Environmental Impact

How do mini splits help save energy?
They eliminate duct losses, offer precise temperature control, and let you control specific zones. This targeted approach means less wasted energy and lower bills.

Are mini splits environmentally friendly?
Yes. Many models use modern refrigerants with lower global warming potential and meet or exceed ENERGY STAR® standards—making them a smart choice for eco-conscious buyers.

Will switching to a mini split reduce my carbon footprint?
Definitely! Using a more efficient system with advanced heat pump technology can significantly decrease your energy usage and overall emissions.

Returns, Warranty & Support

Do mini splits come with a warranty?
Yes. All systems include a manufacturer’s warranty, often covering parts and the compressor for 5–10 years. Details vary by brand—ask us for specifics on your chosen model.
