Ductless Mini-Split Systems in Palm Beach County
Cooling and heating without ductwork. A ductless mini-split can solve the room that never cools, the addition without ducts and the older home where running new ducts is not practical.
What is a mini-split?
A ductless mini-split has a small outdoor unit connected by a thin refrigerant line to one or more wall-mounted indoor units. Each indoor unit cools or heats its own space, controlled by its own remote or thermostat. There are no ducts to leak, and you only cool the rooms you are using.
Where mini-splits make sense
- Room additions and converted garages
- Enclosed lanais and Florida rooms
- Older homes and historic cottages with no ductwork
- Guest houses, workshops and other detached spaces
- A single hot room in an otherwise comfortable house
- Condo units and apartments where running ducts is not possible
- Homes that want separate temperature zones
Benefits
- Efficiency. No duct losses, and variable-speed compressors that run only as hard as needed.
- Humidity control. Long, steady run times remove moisture well.
- Quiet operation. Indoor units are very quiet.
- Zoning. Different temperatures in different rooms.
- Less mess. Installation usually needs only a small hole through the wall.
Things to know
A mini-split is not the right answer for every house. Cooling a whole large home with many ducted rooms usually costs less with a central system, and some people simply prefer the look of ceiling vents. We will tell you honestly which approach suits your space. Mini-splits also need to be sized for the room and its use, and they need regular filter cleaning and drain maintenance like any other system.
Installation and permits
Mini-split installations usually require a permit and an electrical connection. Condos and HOAs may also require approval for where the outdoor unit goes. We handle the permit and can provide the paperwork your association asks for.
