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.

I called after hours on a Friday upon arriving home and discovering my air conditioner was not working. Someone answered and took my information. He promptly called me back to tell me someone would be coming out tonight. Jose and Omar called and then arrived around 9:00. They were here until 10:00. Jose showed me pictures of what was wrong and of him flushing the line and what was in it. He did a great job of explaining things and educating me on ways to prevent it. We also discussed the service plans that can possibly prevent things like this. This is a great company. They have installed units for me and always done an awesome job. Thank you guys for your hard work.

LJ came by to repair a broken propane line cut while having our septic system serviced. He was super friendly and knowledgeable, showed up on time, and completed the job quickly. I especially appreciated that he was proactive in checking for leaks not only on his completed work, but also at the shut-off valve on the tank which he did not need to do. Fortunately he did though because there was a small leak we never would have known about. Looking forward to working more with Ted's in the future! Highly recommend based on this experience.

Kail and Brayden came out and were very nice and respectful. They did a great job on checking the a/c system with looking around and also hooking up gauges to read pressures. They were very informative to my husband on what they were checking. They found my coils needed to be cleaned which I agreed to. They cleaned the coils. I only have one issue and that's the price to clean the coils because the process is remove a cover, spray the chemical on the coil, wait for foaming action and rinse with water & put the cover back on. I saved $75 dollars being on Ted's Plan, but I was charged over $300 for this process. I felt that procedure shouldn't be more that $125. Overall the two guys were great young men and I wouldn't mind working with them in the future.
