Our Ductless Mini Splits Process
Free Consultation
We visit your home to assess your needs, measure the space, evaluate mounting options, and discuss your comfort and aesthetic preferences. You receive a clear, written estimate.
System Design
We determine the right capacity, number of indoor units, and placement for optimal comfort. Single-zone systems serve one room. Multi-zone systems can heat and cool multiple rooms independently.
Professional Installation
We mount the indoor unit, install the outdoor condenser, run refrigerant lines, and make electrical connections. The installation requires only a small three-inch hole in the wall. No ductwork needed.
Refrigerant Charging and Testing
We charge the system to manufacturer specifications, test heating and cooling modes, verify airflow, and program the remote control. We test in both modes to confirm proper operation.
Walkthrough and Handoff
We show you how to use the remote control, explain the operating modes, discuss filter cleaning, and answer all your questions. You are fully comfortable with your new system before we leave.

No Ductwork Required
Mini splits only need a small hole in the wall for refrigerant lines. No tearing open walls or ceilings for ductwork. Installation is clean, fast, and minimally invasive.
Room-by-Room Comfort
Each indoor unit has its own thermostat. You control the temperature in each room independently, eliminating hot and cold spots and saving energy in unused rooms.
Energy Efficient
Ductless systems avoid the energy losses associated with ductwork, which can account for 25% to 30% of cooling costs in a traditional system. Mini splits deliver more of the energy they use directly to the rooms you want to condition.
