Installation
Mini Split Installation
Installing a mini split is usually a one-day job. It involves mounting the indoor air handler on the wall, placing the outdoor condenser on a pad or bracket outside, and running refrigerant lines between the two through a small hole in the wall — typically around three inches. There's no tearing open walls for ductwork, which keeps things clean and simple. Proper sizing matters — getting the right BTU capacity for your space means the system runs efficiently instead of working harder than it needs to. ENERGY STAR's air-source heat pump guide is a solid neutral primer if you want to read up before your consultation.
Common Questions
How long does a mini split installation take?
Installing a mini split is usually a one-day job. The indoor air handler gets mounted on the wall, the outdoor condenser goes on a pad or bracket outside, and the refrigerant lines run between the two.
How big is the hole through the wall?
The refrigerant lines pass through a single hole in the exterior wall, typically around three inches. There is no tearing open walls for ductwork, which keeps the work clean and contained to one spot.
Why does sizing matter before installation?
Getting the right BTU capacity for your space means the system runs efficiently instead of working harder than it needs to. A load calculation settles the size before anything gets mounted on the wall.
