Expert Ductless Mini-Split Installation
Ductless HVAC systems don’t require typical ductwork to function. Instead, an outdoor condenser unit links to air handlers within the rooms you want to cool or heat. This allows independent temperature control in each room, improving the level of personalized comfort.
There are multiple benefits to pursuing a ductless system approach. Having the ability to adjust the temperature in different spaces helps eliminate hot and cold spots. Mini-split systems also operate more quietly and offer greater installation flexibility than traditional duct systems. Ductless systems are a good option in homes when extending ductwork is impractical, such as home additions, finished basements, garages, or older homes.
Installing a ductless mini-split system is less complex than a traditional HVAC unit. The installation takes four to eight hours to complete. You’ll need to inform us of which rooms you want to heat and cool with ductless equipment. This way, we know where to install the indoor air handlers. Most homes use between two and four indoor units, but you can have as many as you need. That’s the great benefit of ductless HVAC systems as they are completely customizable.
Once everything is in place, we run the system through multiple tests. For example, we test the air handlers to ensure they respond appropriately to temperature and control settings. These tests are crucial to ensure the system will run efficiently and reliably throughout each season.
After all the new equipment is in place, we’ll walk you through the maintenance requirements. Ductless HVAC systems, like regular setups, need annual tune-ups and regular filter changes at a minimum. Many experts also recommend seasonal checkups, since these setups run year-round. Here at Air Care Heating & Cooling, we offer maintenance plans that make it simple to stay on top of tune-ups.
