FAQs
We’ve answered some of the most common questions homeowners have about ductless mini-split installation, repair, and what to expect before getting started.
What is a ductless mini-split?
A ductless mini-split is a heating and cooling system that uses an outdoor unit and one or more indoor air handlers to condition specific rooms or zones without full ductwork.
Are ductless mini-splits also heat pumps?
Yes. In most cases, ductless mini-splits are a type of air-source heat pump that can provide both heating and cooling.
Can a ductless mini-split work in older homes?
Often, yes. They are commonly used in older homes without ductwork, as well as additions, finished spaces, and rooms with comfort problems.
How do I know if my ductless system should be repaired or replaced?
If the issue is isolated and the system has otherwise been reliable, repair may still make sense. If performance problems keep returning or the system is aging, replacement may be worth discussing.
Are ductless mini-splits only for one room?
No. Some systems are designed for one room, while others can serve multiple zones depending on the layout and system design.
