What Is an HVAC Mini-Split System?

Ductless Heating and Cooling

HVAC mini-splits are heating and cooling systems that use advanced technology to regulate indoor temperatures and improve air quality. These systems are also commonly referred to as ductless AC, mini-split heat pumps, or ductless systems. HVAC mini-splits are highly efficient, extremely effective, and do not require any ductwork, making them one of the easiest and most convenient heating and cooling systems to install. A well-maintained mini-split system can reduce allergens, prevent mold growth, and help lower energy costs.

Why Are Mini-Splits a Smart Choice?


How Do Mini-Split HVAC Systems Work?

A mini-split system is a versatile heating and cooling solution consisting of an outdoor unit, which houses the compressor and condenser, and one or more indoor units, which contain the evaporator coil and air handler. In cooling mode, the indoor unit pulls air from the room and passes it over the evaporator coil to cool it. In heating mode, this process is reversed, with the outdoor unit absorbing heat from the outside air—even during colder temperatures.

Mini-split systems can be quickly installed in multiple rooms throughout a home. Unlike traditional central systems, mini-splits do not rely on ducts to distribute conditioned air. These systems provide precise temperature control and energy-efficient comfort by delivering cooled or heated air directly to specific spaces, eliminating the need for ductwork and the energy loss associated with it.

How Much Do HVAC Mini-Split Systems Cost?

Mini-Splits and Solar Energy

Power Your HVAC System with Solar Energy

The less energy your home requires on a day-to-day basis, the smaller the solar system you will need to install in order to offset your electricity usage. Since space heating and air conditioning can account for up to half of all of your energy usage, the more efficient your heating and cooling equipment are, the greater the savings you can see from your custom-designed solar electric system! That’s why it’s a great idea to combine a mini-split heat pump with a solar PV system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Solar panels work by converting sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic cells. When sunlight hits the panels, it generates a direct current (DC) of electricity, which is then converted into alternating current (AC) by an inverter, making it usable for your home or business. The benefits of solar panels include reducing your energy bills, decreasing your carbon footprint, and increasing your energy independence. Additionally, solar systems often qualify for tax incentives and rebates, making them a cost-effective and environmentally friendly choice.

The amount you can save on your electricity bills with solar panels depends on factors like your location, the size of your solar system, and your energy consumption. On average, homeowners can save between 50% to 75% on their electricity bills. In some cases, you might even eliminate your electricity bill entirely! Plus, solar systems can increase your property's value, offering long-term financial benefits.

During a power outage, most standard grid-tied solar systems will shut down for safety reasons to prevent back-feeding electricity into the grid, which could endanger repair crews. However, if you have a solar battery storage system, your solar panels can continue to power your home, providing backup energy during outages. This setup ensures you have electricity when you need it most.

The installation of a solar panel system typically takes one to three days, depending on the size and complexity of the system. However, the entire process, including site assessment, design, permitting, and utility approval, can take several weeks. We handle everything from start to finish to ensure a smooth and timely installation, minimizing any disruptions to your daily routine.
