What Makes Ductless Mini-Splits Different From Traditional HVAC Systems?

Ductless mini-splits don’t rely on ductwork to distribute air, making them more flexible and easier to install than central HVAC systems. Each indoor unit connects to an outdoor compressor, allowing for individual temperature control in different zones. This setup is ideal for additions, renovations, or rooms without existing ductwork.

Can I Use a Ductless Mini-Split to Heat and Cool My Whole Home?

Yes, multi-zone ductless systems can be designed to condition an entire home by installing multiple indoor units. Each unit operates independently, giving you room-by-room temperature control. This can increase energy efficiency and personalized comfort throughout your living space.

Are Ductless Mini-Splits Energy-Efficient?

Ductless systems are known for their high energy efficiency, especially models with inverter technology. Because there’s no ductwork, there’s less energy loss during air distribution. They often qualify for energy rebates and can significantly reduce utility bills over time.

How Long Do Ductless Mini-Splits Typically Last?

With proper maintenance, ductless mini-splits can last 15 to 20 years or more. Routine tune-ups and filter cleanings help preserve system performance and avoid costly breakdowns. Their long lifespan makes them a smart investment for both heating and cooling needs.

Do Ductless Mini-Splits Require a Lot of Maintenance?

While ductless systems require less maintenance than traditional systems, they still need regular care. Cleaning filters, checking refrigerant levels, and inspecting components helps ensure long-term efficiency. Scheduling annual professional maintenance can keep your system in top shape.

Can I Control My Ductless System With a Smart Thermostat or App?

Many ductless mini-splits come with built-in Wi-Fi or are compatible with smart controls. This allows you to adjust temperature settings remotely via a smartphone app or integrate them with smart home systems. It’s a convenient way to manage comfort and efficiency on the go.

How Loud Are Ductless Mini-Splits When Running?

Ductless systems are much quieter than traditional HVAC units, especially the indoor air handlers. Most operate at a low decibel level that’s barely noticeable during normal use. This makes them ideal for bedrooms, offices, and other quiet areas of the home.

Is Installing a Ductless Mini-Split Messy or Disruptive?

Installation is generally quick and minimally invasive compared to ducted systems. A small hole is drilled for the refrigerant line, and the units mount directly on walls or ceilings. Most projects can be completed in a day with little disruption to your home.

It was a pleasure to have Justin McCowan work on our HVAC thermostat issues. He explained issues in terms we were able to understand. He ordered a new thermostat to replace the faulty one. He replaced as soon as new thermostat became available. Justin explained that parts and labor were covered by the warranty. He also encouraged us to call with any additional questions or concerns. Justin is very thorough and professional.

Justin did a fantastic job servicing my system! He was knowledgeable and skilled, and also personable and kind! He carefully explained what he was doing every step of the way. He appropriately set my expectations for when I could expect the part to be received and the final repair to be done. He was respectful of my home, and while he was very entertaining to talk to, his conversation did not interfere with the work he was there to do. He was very efficient And professional. His brother Christian also works for Ted’s and has done a service call for me, and his level of service is just as good as his brothers. In fact, in the years since Ted’s installed my system, every technician they have sent out has been exceptional. In the five years since they have installed my 3-zone Variable-speed Trane heat pump, their level of support has been incredible.

The guys at Ted's were able to get us a new system installed before the summer heat started kicking in. They had requoted a system that we were looking at last year and once we decided to move forward we they were at our house in a few days. The installation crew was at the house for two days and they were very friendly and knowledgeable. They replaced our old system and added zoning for the upstairs and downstairs. They made sure to clean up and were quick to answer questions if we had any. If you're looking for a new system or just annual maintenance I highly recommend using Ted's.
