DUCTLESS MINI-SPLIT
INSTALLATION & SERVICE

Can I install my own mini split?

While some mini split systems are marketed as DIY-friendly, proper installation requires electrical work, refrigerant handling, and precise placement for optimal performance. In California, HVAC installations must meet specific building codes and often require permits. For safety, efficiency, and warranty protection, it's highly recommended to have your mini split professionally installed by a licensed technician.

How long do mini split systems last?

With proper maintenance, a quality mini split system can last 15–20 years. Regular filter cleaning and annual servicing will help extend its lifespan and maintain efficiency.

Do mini splits heat as well as they cool?

Yes. Most modern mini splits offer efficient heating and cooling through heat pump technology. They can perform well even in colder climates, making them a year-round comfort solution.

Are mini split systems energy efficient?

Extremely. Because they avoid ductwork losses and offer zoned temperature control, mini splits often outperform traditional HVAC systems in energy efficiency—especially when used to target only the rooms in use.

Where can a mini split be installed?

Mini splits can be installed in nearly any room, including bedrooms, living areas, home offices, garages, and additions. They’re ideal for spaces that lack existing ductwork or need supplemental heating and cooling.

Do I need a permit to install a mini split in Redlands, CA or in the Inland Empire?

Can one outdoor unit power multiple indoor units?
