Whether you have an add on to your home that seems to be a little warmer than the rest of the house or you’re simply looking for an efficient way to boost your home’s comfort, a mini-split system might be the choice.
What’s a mini-split system?
A mini-split system is a ductless form of heating and cooling that is focused on specific rooms and spaces, not an entire home or building. Mini-split systems are more adjustable and energy efficient than common central air systems and are easier to install as there is no ductwork needed. They pump air straight to wall or ceiling mounted air handling units that have individual wireless electronic temperature control systems.
Mini-split systems aren’t just one size, nor are they all made equally, or for the same size room. Similar to normal air conditioners, a mini-split system should be picked to fit the room that it will be in. Doing so can mean more efficient production for you, which might also translate to savings on your normal energy expenses as well. They’re typically used for:
- Hot and/or cold rooms
- Additions/renovations
- Enclosed patios
- Homes without room for ductwork
- Large, multi-zone living spaces

A quick primer
A mini-split system works by using a process that only produces the amount of hot or cold air you desire to achieve or maintain the temperature you pick. That being said, a correctly sized system is still critical to get all of the efficiency benefits offered.
Mini-split system sizing
When it comes to sizing a mini-split system, our experts recommends the top choice for you as we do with all of our heating and cooling equipment. We work directly with you to determine your needs and get the size of the space the system will be heating and cooling. A mini-split system that isn’t large enough will end up running more often, meaning you’re wasting energy over time. However, if your system is oversized, you’ll possibly be spending more on the system and run the risk of having your mini-split system cycling on and off frequently.
