What Is Ductless? Here’s the Simple Breakdown.
Ductless heating and cooling (also called a mini split system) is a super efficient way to keep your home comfortable without needing ductwork. Instead of pushing air through long, hidden vents, a ductless system uses small indoor units that deliver warm or cool air directly into the rooms where you need it.
Each unit is quiet, energy saving, and easy to control, and you can heat or cool one room, several rooms, or your whole home.
People choose ductless heating and cooling units for
their benefits and simplicity.
Efficient
They use less energy than traditional HVAC systems, which can mean noticeably lower heating and cooling bills.
Quiet
No loud blasts of air turning on and off. Just steady, peaceful comfort.
Flexible
Perfect for additions, older homes, basements, or solving hot/cold spots. Heat or cool one room or your entire home.
Cleaner
No dusty ductwork blowing air around. Each unit has a simple, washable filter that helps keep indoor air fresher.
Why Our Ductless Expertise Matters
Ductless heat pumps are one of the most efficient ways to heat and cool your home. They automatically adjust to what your space needs, which means they use less energy while keeping your home consistently comfortable without the big swings you get from older systems. And using less energy is better for your wallet and the environment.
Big Comfort, Smaller Bills
Because ductless systems are designed to save energy, many homeowners see their heating costs drop by up to 50%. That’s real comfort you can feel — and real savings you’ll notice every month.
A ductless heat pump works much like a refrigerator, but can switch
from cooling to heating with the click of a button. It uses refrigerant
to transfer heat energy between indoors and outdoors.
IN THE WINTER
The refrigerant pulls heat from
the outdoors to provide endless
warmth in your home.
IN THE SUMMER
The refrigerant pulls heat from inside your home to quickly and quietly cool it.

Ductless Mini-split Eguide
We've created a free eguide to help you on your journey to creating a comfortable, energy-efficient environment in your home.
Ductless systems are ideal for replacing or supplementing inefficient electric baseboard, forced air, wood stoves and propane or kerosene space heaters. A cost-effective installation in a small house might consist of a single system serving the main area of the house, while leaving existing electric baseboards in bedrooms and bathrooms.
Homes Using Propane as a Primary Heating Source
Propane is one of the most expensive energy sources for heating your home. Depending on your location, heating your home with propane could be five or six times as costly as heating it with a ductless heat pump! Ductless heat pumps are an better all around choice for those using propane.
Room Additions
A ductless system is a great solution when a room is added onto a house or an attic is converted to living space. Rather than extending the home’s existing ductwork or pipes, a ductless system provides efficient heating and cooling without major construction.
New Construction
Ductless heat pumps are a great choice for today's modern home. New home designs can be adapted to take advantage of a ductless system’s many benefits. One or more systems might be installed in various “zones” of the house to simplify installation and minimize refrigerant line length.
While a ductless system can be used as a primary heat source, we encourage you to keep existing electric heating units as a supplement to your ductless system in case of extreme weather conditions or in hard-to-reach extremities of the home. We can go over all of this when we come to your house for a free consultation.
Yes! They are the most eco friendly and efficient option available! Ductless systems operate using 25% to 50% (or more) less energy than electric resistance and forced air systems, making them one of the most eco-friendly choices available. Modern ductless systems have ultra-high Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratios (SEER) between 20 and 27, and Heating Seasonal Performance Factors (HSPF) between 10 and 12.5. Some new systems provide SEER ratings over 30 and HSPF values of more than 14 – almost unheard of even just a few years ago.
