Ductless Mini Splits in Moore, Oklahoma
Ductless mini-split work in Moore is mostly additions: detached workshops, garage conversions, sunroom additions where extending existing ductwork is impractical, and older homes where central air retrofitting requires unreasonable wall and ceiling demolition. We install Daikin, Mitsubishi, and LG mini-splits. Edmond-to-Moore drive: 30–45 minutes via I-35.
Moore's pre-tornado housing stock — the homes that survived intact along the SW 4th Street corridor, around Little River Park, and in the older areas near Central Junior High — is typically 1970s-1980s slab-on-grade ranches with original ductwork in unconditioned attics. Many of these homes have ductwork leakage in the 25-40% range, which is the single biggest fixable energy-efficiency problem in Moore housing stock. We address ductwork before recommending equipment upgrades, because a new high-efficiency system pumping conditioned air into the attic via leaky duct seams is wasted money.
The Moore-Norman boundary along Indian Hills Road runs through some of the newer master-planned communities — South Park Village, The Trails — where builder-grade HVAC equipment from the 2015-2020 boom is now showing early failure patterns. Refrigerant leaks at the indoor coil are the most common call we get from this area, typically from manufacturer-defect TXV valves or factory-braze defects that take 8-10 years to fail. These are usually warranty-covered on parts; we handle the warranty paperwork on the customer's behalf.
Moore was hit by the F5 tornado on May 3, 1999 and the EF5 on May 20, 2013 — many homes in the Plaza Towers, Briarwood, and Westmoore areas were rebuilt with reinforced construction and code-required safe rooms. Post-2013 rebuilds typically have newer HVAC equipment but tornado-prone homeowners often pay extra attention to outdoor unit anchoring and emergency backup-heat options.
Moore housing reflects waves of tornado rebuilds — 2014-2017 reconstruction is now hitting the 8-10 year mark when first-generation issues start surfacing (capacitor failures, refrigerant leaks at flare fittings, blower motor wear). Pre-1999 homes that survived have aging systems often deferred during rebuilding nearby. Country Place Estates and Stonebridge are newer subdivisions with 2010s+ construction; Highland West has 1970s-1980s ranches with original ductwork in many cases.
Common Ductless Mini Splits Issues We See in Moore
Across our service area, certain ductless mini splits situations come up over and over. Here are the ones we see most often in Moore and how we approach them:
Hot or cold room a central system cannot reach
The classic use case: a bonus room over the garage, an addition without ducts, a finished basement, a master suite that is always 5°F off the rest of the house. A mini-split solves it without ductwork.
Wanting AC in a home without existing ductwork
Older Oklahoma homes (pre-1960) often have radiant or boiler heat with no ductwork. Adding central AC means tearing into walls. Mini-splits are far cheaper and less disruptive — typically 1-day install per zone.
Whole-home alternative to central HVAC
Multi-zone mini-splits (4-8 indoor heads on one outdoor unit) can heat and cool an entire home. Higher upfront cost than central, but better zone control and often lower operating costs.
Drainage issues on ceiling cassette units
Built-in condensate pumps fail over time. Most mini-split warranty repairs we see are pump-related. Easy fix when caught early.
Outdoor unit refrigerant leaks at flare fittings
Mini-split refrigerant connections use flare fittings, which can develop slow leaks over time, especially on installations where the line set was kinked or over-tightened. Refrigerant leak detection and re-flaring solves it.
How ARP Heat And Air Handles Ductless Mini Splits in Moore
- In-home consultationWe evaluate the spaces, measure for BTU sizing, identify outdoor unit placement, check electrical capacity, and discuss indoor head options (wall, ceiling cassette, floor console, concealed ducted).
- Quote with brand optionsMitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu, and LG all make excellent equipment. Mitsubishi is the premium choice; Daikin and LG offer strong value. We quote 1-2 options.
- Installation daySingle-zone: 4-6 hours. Multi-zone: 1-2 days. Typically involves outdoor unit pad placement, line set routing through wall, electrical disconnect installation, indoor head mounting, refrigerant charge, and commissioning.
- CommissioningVacuum the lines to remove moisture, pressure-test for leaks, charge refrigerant, test cooling and heating cycles, set up the included remote control or smart thermostat.
- WalkthroughWe explain remote functions, filter cleaning (much more frequent than central AC filters — typically every 2-4 weeks), and warranty registration.

A note from Charlie
I have been doing HVAC work across Cleveland County since 2009. We are not the biggest HVAC company in the OKC metro, and we do not want to be. We are a small owner-operated business that fixes things right and treats Moore homeowners the way I want my own family treated.
When you call (405) 413-0583, there is a good chance I pick up personally. If I do not, you get a real technician who knows what they are doing — not a phone-room operator reading from a script.

How much does a ductless mini-split installation cost?
Single-zone (one indoor head): $3,500-$5,500 depending on BTU capacity. Two-zone: $7,500-$10,500. Three-zone: $10,500-$13,000. Four-zone: $12,500-$14,000. Pricing includes equipment, installation, electrical work, line set, condensate routing, and commissioning.
Are mini-splits more efficient than central AC?
Often yes. Modern mini-splits run 18-30+ SEER2, vs typical central systems at 14-20 SEER2. The variable-speed inverter compressors throttle down rather than cycling on/off, which is more efficient. They also avoid duct losses (typically 20-30% of central system energy).
Can a mini-split heat in winter?
Yes, most modern mini-splits are heat pumps and provide both heating and cooling. Cold-climate models (Mitsubishi Hyper-Heat, Daikin Aurora, Fujitsu Halcyon XLTH) maintain rated heating capacity down to 5°F — well within Oklahoma's winter range.
What is the difference between Mitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu, and LG?
Mitsubishi Electric is the historical premium leader with the best cold-climate performance (Hyper-Heat line). Daikin is the world's largest HVAC manufacturer with excellent reliability and a 12-year warranty. Fujitsu offers the widest range of indoor head styles. LG has competitive pricing and strong feature sets. All four are excellent — pick based on indoor head style and warranty.
How loud are mini-splits?
Indoor heads run 19-32 decibels — quieter than a whisper. Outdoor units run 50-58 decibels — quieter than typical central AC condensers. They are much quieter than window units, which run 50-65 decibels.
Do mini-splits work in really hot weather?
Yes. Modern mini-splits maintain rated capacity up to 115°F outdoor temperature. Oklahoma summer highs (typically 95-105°F) are well within design range.
How long do mini-splits last?
12-18 years with proper maintenance. The most common failure is condensate pump failure (in ceiling cassette models) or capacitor failure — both straightforward repairs.
Do mini-splits need duct cleaning?
No ducts to clean — that is part of the appeal. The indoor head filters need to be washed every 2-4 weeks during heavy use (much more often than central HVAC filters), and the indoor coil should be professionally cleaned every 2-3 years.
Local context for mini-split installs in Moore
Typical Moore housing stock
Moore's housing is mostly 1970s–2000s residential, with significant rebuilds after the May 1999 and May 2013 tornadoes. The rebuild-era homes (post-2013 especially) tend to have above-grade safe rooms or storm shelters in the garage, which we work around when servicing equipment.
What we typically see in Moore
We see a lot of post-tornado-rebuild homes here where the HVAC was contractor-package-deal equipment rather than spec'd for the house. By year 10–12 those systems often need replacement that was foreseeable from day one.
From Charlie
Typical response is 30–45 minutes from our Edmond shop. If you have a safe room in the garage, tell us when scheduling — we plan our truck space around it so we're not blocking your access during the service. Moore is in the heart of Tornado Alley; we use ground-level condenser pads with proper tie-downs as a standard here.
