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.

Chris and Cameron were both great. They worked hard to get the install done efficiently and with as little disruption to my day as possible. That was greatly appreciated!

This is my final review for Ted's and I still rate it a five star company. My new hearing system was installed by Seth and Cam. It is working perfectly. They were two young men who proved to be incredibly professional, hardworking, and dedicated to doing an exceptional job. They knew the Diakin system very well and were able to explain things to me in detail. They worked for 12 straight hours without complaint. The next day Seth returned to make some final adjustments and do some fine tuning. I hope their employer knows what hard workers they are. So Ted's HVAC was a completely new company for me and ended up providing routine maintenance, recommending a new system, and installing it all within several days. I plan to continue with this company for a long time and believe that I can trust them to do their best for their customers. They have excellent employees.
