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.

Ted's was very helpful in working through our HVAC issues. Ivan came out and performed troubleshooting. He was able to get the system back in service and explained that he had to make temporary changes to do so. He also followed up to order the parts needed and gave an accurate expected time to return for making permanent repairs. He did a great job explaining the issues and working towards a resolution. He was very professional as well. The scheduling staff also worked to get him here quickly once they were contacted.

Every single person that we have had contact with or that has come to work at the house 100% lives up to the company motto! The company's core values are the reason I hired them 3 and 1/2 years ago for some duct repair and a mini split installation when we moved in. And it's the reason why I automatically called them back when we finally needed a brand new system installed. From customer service to repairs, to Sean and Obed's installation to super thorough cleaning and maintenance, to Chris' patient explanation of finances and guidance for decisions , the whole team who worked with us is without a fail polite, professional, super patient and friendly. Even when I'm probably driving them crazy with a fickle noise that comes up without warning, they come check it out and keep at it with customer satisfaction as the number one priority. Sure, maybe there are companies that cost a bit less because of less overhead (but it's helpful that Ted's offers easy payment plans too ) yet the competence, reliability and integrity are worth it!
