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.

We originally expected a 2 day install for both Air and Heating systems (2 each) but Ted’s sent out 2 crews to have it completed in one day. They were so pleasant to work with. Seth introduced the crew and explained the process thoroughly, making sure they answered questions throughout the day and keeping us posted of the progress. He was very patient with explaining things over again until we understood completely. The team worked very well together. We heard them communicating with each other, brainstorming at times, and complimenting each other. Very respectful. They didn’t finish until after 6pm on Friday and at no time did we feel they were rushing to leave. The full crew consisted of Seth, Chris, cam and Lesman. They all deserve a 5 star rating. We are very happy with the service we’ve experienced with all of Ted’s crews so far. We’ve only been a customer for a few months but it’s been a Very good first impression. Thank you

Just had my plumbing inspection and review with Nathan. He did very thorough job and found two issues with my hot water heater that needed to be brought up to code. Important when one lives in a 75 year old home. Ted’s service as usual was top notch. Great group of technicians and I recommend them highly!

James was polite, attentive, easy to talk with, & explained everything really well. I felt confident that he was satisfied that my unit is functioning as it should. He suggested it has a good cleaning done in the spring, which I will follow up on. The price will be very reasonable. I'm grateful for his time, knowledge & friendly service! Carrie Miller
