Ductless/ Mini-Splits
Ductless/Mini-Split System Installation
Ductless mini-split cooling and heating systems are getting more popular throughout the Boston and New England region and for good reason. These types of units run quietly but are powerful enough to heat and cool your home effectively. They’re also relatively inexpensive and easy to install.
Ductless systems are generally not attached to a wall-mounted thermostat, which also helps cut down on installation time, cost, and effort. Instead, they are regulated using a remote control. You also have the option to add an accessory that allows you to control each zone from your smartphone or tablet.
Is Ductless System Right For Your Home?
Our skilled technicians have years of experience installing ductless systems in homes and businesses across New England. A Ductless system is the best solution for people who need an efficient heating and cooling system, and:
- Don’t want to manage a long construction process; it takes 1-2 days on average to install a ductless system.
- Have homes with radiators that don’t currently have ductwork. Ductless systems are easy to install and usually only require a three-inch hole through a wall for the conduit.
- Have an older home that can’t use ducting due to insufficient space.
- Are adding onto a home, such as sunrooms and garage apartments.
- Trying to downsize. If you rarely use several rooms in your home, it may be best to make the main thermostat run minimally and install ductless system in your master bedroom and main living area.
- Have multiple family members sharing the same living space. Ductless systems allow each to maintain different zones of your house at different temperatures.

Benefits of Going Ductless
LOWER COST: installing a ductless system is less expensive than installing a ducted system.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY: Ductless systems do not need to push air through extensive ductwork in your home. Instead of turning on and off, they run at variable speeds and can gradually increase or decrease fan speeds to cool your home, making them more energy efficient.
ZONING: Each indoor unit is its own zone so different rooms can be at different temperatures.
VERSATILITY: A single outdoor unit can be connected up to 8 indoor ductless system units. You can cool or heat each area of your home to the desired temperature. You can also choose a single unit to add on to an existing HVAC system.
EASE OF INSTALLATION AND USE: Ductless systems can be installed with limited disruption to your home as they generally require nothing more than a small hole in the wall where you wish to have them mounted.
Have multiple family members sharing the same living space. Ductless systems allow each to maintain different zones of your house at different temperatures.
