Frequently Asked Questions

When does a mini-split make more sense than central AC?
Best fits: home additions, garages/workshops, rooms that never cool properly with central HVAC, historic homes where adding ductwork is prohibitive, and homes where residents want different temperatures in different rooms.
Do mini-splits heat as well as cool?
Yes โ€” most modern mini-splits are heat pumps and provide both. Newer cold-climate mini-splits operate down to -13ยฐF, making them viable as primary heat in Oklahoma.
How efficient are mini-splits?
Very โ€” most modern mini-splits are 18-30 SEER2, significantly higher than typical central AC. That efficiency translates to 30-50% lower cooling costs per BTU delivered compared to a 14 SEER2 central system.
How hard is installation?
A single-zone install is typically one day. Multi-zone jobs can take 1-3 days depending on complexity. Main work: mounting the outdoor unit, running line-sets through walls, mounting indoor heads, electrical connections, and commissioning.
Do mini-splits need ductwork?
No โ€” that's their main advantage. Each indoor head is independently connected to the outdoor unit through a small refrigerant line-set, not ducts. Perfect for homes where adding ductwork would be invasive or expensive.
