Mini-Split & Ductless Installation
Mini-Split & Ductless AC Installation
Single-zone and multi-zone ductless for the rooms central air never reached — garages, additions, condos and the hot bedroom.
A ductless mini-split solves a specific Florida problem: a room that the central system was never sized or ducted to handle. Converted garages, enclosed patios and Florida rooms, additions built after the original system, guest suites, home offices, workshops, and the upstairs bedroom that has been ten degrees warmer than the rest of the house since the day it was built. Rather than resizing the whole system for one room, you condition that room independently.
They are also the practical answer in a lot of condo and high-rise stock, where there is nowhere to run duct and often strict rules about what can be placed outside. And in a multi-zone configuration — several indoor heads on one outdoor unit — they can condition a whole small home or a group of rooms with independent temperature control in each, which is something a single-thermostat ducted system fundamentally cannot do.
The installation quality decides everything about how long it lasts. Line-set length affects the charge, so the system has to be adjusted for the run rather than left at its factory charge. The condensate has to drain properly, by gravity or by pump, or it will run down the inside wall. Penetrations have to be sealed against Florida rain and insects. Head placement has to consider airflow throw rather than what is convenient to reach with a ladder. And every zone should be commissioned individually before we leave.
Where a ductless system is the right answer
- A converted garage, addition or Florida room with no duct serving it
- One bedroom that has always been noticeably hotter than the rest of the house
- A condo or high-rise unit where new duct runs are not possible
- A home office or workshop that needs its own temperature independent of the house
- A small home or guest house where a full ducted system is not justified
- Rooms with very different occupancy patterns that should not share a thermostat
What a ductless installation includes
- Room-by-room load calculation — ductless is easier to oversize than ducted, with the same humidity penalty
- Head placement planned for throw and coverage, not just for ease of mounting
- Line set sized and routed properly, with the charge adjusted for actual run length
- Condensate drainage designed — gravity where possible, pump where it is not
- Wall penetrations sealed and weatherproofed against driving rain and insects
- Outdoor unit mounted clear of flooding and, on coastal sites, positioned to limit salt exposure
- Each zone individually commissioned and its readings recorded
- Controls and scheduling set up and explained before we leave

Central Florida coverageMini-Split & Ductless Installation — common questions
Can one outdoor unit run several rooms?
Yes — that is a multi-zone system, and it is common for two to five indoor heads on a single outdoor unit, each with its own control. It is tidier than several separate systems and it lets rooms with different uses be set differently.
Are mini-splits good at removing humidity?
A correctly sized one is very good, because inverter compressors run at partial capacity for long periods rather than cycling hard on and off — which is exactly the behaviour that dries a room. An oversized one loses that advantage, which is why the load calculation matters even on a single room.
Will it look bad on the wall?
Modern heads are much slimmer than the reputation suggests, and there are ceiling-cassette and low-wall options where a wall head would be intrusive. Placement is worth discussing on the survey rather than after installation.
Do these work for a whole house?
They can, particularly in smaller homes and where there is no existing ductwork to reuse. For a house that already has good ducts, a central system is usually the better economics — and we will tell you that rather than sell you eight heads.
