Ductless AC Installation & Repair
A common mistake is noticing something unusual and waiting to call. We recommend scheduling a ductless repair in the Midlands as soon as there’s a concern.
Delays can result in bigger energy bills and the problem worsening and becoming more expensive to fix. Common repairs include unclogging drain lines, cleaning evaporator coils, and calibrating thermostats.
You may have to decide between repairing and replacing your mini-split. Often, the decision comes down to the age of the system and the extent of the problem. If there’s active warranty coverage or a mini-split is younger than 10 years, a major repair may be worthwhile. If your mini-split is older than that, replacing it will likely be more cost-effective long term.
Our team installs single-zone mini-splits that are ideal for home additions and primary bedrooms. If you want a multi-zone setup, the typical system has between two and four zones and supports up to eight. For larger houses, we can increase the upper limit by installing multiple outdoor condenser units in a series.
Once we know the number of zones and their layouts, we’ll perform custom load calculations for each. Load calculations account for square footage, ceiling height, layout, building envelope, and location. The combined calculation indicates the overall cooling output you need. The individual calculations inform the decisions you’ll make for each zone.
We offer various mounting options for the indoor air handlers, and you can mix and match them. Wall-mounted units are generally the most popular and least expensive. We can add secondary units for larger rooms that don’t count toward the system’s upper limit.
Our team performs ceiling installations, including suspended units and those that install flush. Dropdown cassette units with vents on all four sides can eliminate the need for secondary wall units. They’re perfect in large kitchens and living rooms with open layouts.
Monitor for the signs you may need a ductless repair in the Midlands:
- Weak airflow
- High electricity bills
- Intermittent shut-offs
- Loud or unusual noises
- Inconsistent temperatures
- Musty and other unpleasant odors
- Excess condensation or any leakage
Advantages of Ductless AC Systems
The underlying technologies found in ductless AC units are the same as those in central AC systems. They’ve benefited from many of the same innovations over the years. A core difference is that ductless AC is an inherently zoned approach. While zoning is possible with central AC, it requires significant additional equipment. Mini-splits provide zoning out of the box.
Zoning allows for personalized comfort. You can maintain cool bedroom temperatures and provide extra cooling to your kitchen without spending unnecessarily elsewhere. That can make a dramatic difference.
The Department of Energy estimates that zoned systems use up to 30% less energy than their non-zoned counterparts. This is also why mini-splits are available with much higher SEER ratings than you find with central systems.
The many benefits of a mini-split installation include:
- Zone control
- Quiet operation
- Lower cooling costs
- No ductwork required
- Smaller carbon footprint
- Airflow direction adjustment
- Rebates and other energy incentives

Ductless AC FAQs
Here are answers to several of the most common questions about our ductless HVAC services. Contact us at your convenience with any additional questions.
How long does a ductless AC system last?
A ductless AC system should last at least 15 years, and many can last 20 years and even longer. Routine maintenance is the key to making your mini-split last as long as possible. Book annual cooling tune-ups early in the spring. If you have a heat pump, you should also book annual heating tune-ups early in the fall.
Can ductless AC heat my home too?
A ductless AC or cooling-only mini-split cannot heat your home, as it lacks the necessary equipment. That said, you can opt for a heat pump rather than an AC for your mini-split installation.
Heat pumps have a reversing valve that allows the system to provide heating as well. Plus, mini-split heat pumps often have electric heat strips for auxiliary heating.
Are ductless systems energy efficient?
Ductless mini-splits are highly efficient, and the underlying technologies are the same as those used for central ACs and heat pumps. There are also some advantages in that mini-split systems are inherently zoned.
You can adjust zones based on their independent needs and won’t waste energy cooling spaces unnecessarily. Additionally, mini-splits often have integrated smart features, including remote access and control.
