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.

Corey and cam came out to install my new unit. Corey kept me well informed of what was going on throughout the process with time frames and how things were going. The one issue they had with a board they let me know about and then came back the next day to replace and I am very pleased with their service. They went over how to program the thermostat and how to change the dust filter in the attic.

Chris & Ryan were extremely helpful with finding the best option for a full replacement system top to bottom. They were friendly, punctual and very knowledgeable turning a very bad situation into a stress-free, amazing one. Corey & Omar were out the next morning to begin the tear our and install of the old system and there are no words that would do justice to the friendly, knowledgeable and diligent way they approached the job. This was a truly awesome experience and will use them for any other issues that arise in the future, giving them a 10 out of 10 doesn't do it justice, thank you to the TED team, you all are hands d9wn THE BEST!!!

Jose came out and was very Professional. Fortunately, when he realized it didn’t care much for professional, he just became my friend. Exactly how it should be. He was very thorough and discovered a leak in my condenser which I wasn’t happy with, but hey, I had heard a sound from there and that corroborated what he said so there was no doubt. I’ll just say friendly and through, which is about the best compliment I can give to anyone.

Got an estimate for a new system from Ted's. They were very honest and helpful. Many other hvac companies wouldn't even return my calls.

In a continuation of services from a lightning strike and aging components in our house, we had Chris Hayes and Ryan to our home to talk about replacing an out of code electrical panel and a 17 year old hvac unit. Chris had done some homework and knew basically what we needed before he even came to the house. He asked great questions about our needs and wants. He and Ryan took great care to tell us how important it was that we were happy and gave us several options. So far, the customer service received from Ted's has been exceptional. Both Chris and Ryan were professional and personable. We will be scheduling services to have these units replaced very soon and look forward to working with the rest of the team.

During maintenance checks, Kail found rust build-up. He cleaned the part and found it was mostly rust. He gave me choices to consider about my system. Also referred me to Chris for further considerations. Thanks so much! I would recommend this business to anyone needing this service. Kail and Brayden were !!
