Why Choose A Mini-Split System?
A ductless mini-split is a form of heat pump system with separate internal units for different rooms, each attached to the central outdoor unit via refrigerant lines instead of ducts. If you’re unfamiliar with heat pumps, think of them as similar to an air conditioner, where by heating and cooling refrigerant with fans and compressors, you can move heat around. In an AC, this is used to produce cool air inside which is pushed through ducts, but in a ductless mini-split this can be used like a normal air conditioner (with separate internal units pushing cold air) or reversed to move heat into your home in the winter. This lets you control each room on an individual basis, for personalized comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you get rid of hot and cold spots in your house?
First, ensure your vents are open and unobstructed in the areas where you notice temperature differences. If your vents are clear, consider other factors that may work against your HVAC system, like broken window and door seals, poor insulation, and dirty ductwork. Temperature zoning can also make a huge difference because it’ll allow you to have multiple thermostats to tailor temperature control to each area.
How do I know which type of heating system to pick?
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution to heating, so you’ll want to choose based on your budget, preferences, and goals. Heat pumps and ductless mini-splits can be expected to cost significantly more than furnaces at similar sizes on the front end, for example, but generally require less maintenance, last longer, offer better efficiency, and provide a gentler and more comfortable heat. You might also want to consider your current heating system and what you’d need to do to implement a particular form of heat; if you don’t already have ductwork, a furnace is suddenly far less cost-effective upfront.
Do heat pumps and mini-splits work when it gets really cold?
A heat pump or ductless mini-split system will still work to heat your home as temperatures reach freezing, but they start to lose efficiency and need to work harder to provide the same level of heat. Below freezing, you’ll see efficiency the same as or worse than a furnace, and as the temperature lowers, the furnace will pull ahead substantially. Of course, a heat pump is as much as 3 to 4 times as efficient as a furnace during optimal temperatures, so it’s still a great investment for efficiency!
Can I rewire my own house?
Rewiring your home without falling out of code, to say nothing of the actual technical difficulties and safety concerns, can be extremely difficult without proper training. While it may not be technically impossible to do so, it’s easy to end up breaking the law, harming yourself, or damaging your property in the process. We recommend always leaving it to a certified electrician.
Can I use multiple heating systems together?
If it makes sense for your home, yes! Many homes have both a heat pump and furnace to maintain high efficiency no matter the weather, with reliable on-demand heat when you need to get the temperature up quickly.Heat pumps can pull double duty for cooling, so it’s not much different from the way a traditional air conditioner connects to your furnace’s air handler.
