Mini-Split Installation
Room-by-room temperature control for basements, additions, and older homes.
Why Choose a Ductless System?
Whether you are finishing a basement, building a new addition, or dealing with uneven temperatures in a historic property, ductless mini-splits deliver customized comfort exactly where you need it.
- Precise Zone Cooling: Control the temperature in individual rooms or areas without affecting the rest of the house. No more fighting over the main thermostat or wasting energy cooling empty spaces.
- Ultra-High Efficiency: Modern systems feature high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings, which significantly lower your monthly energy bills compared to traditional, bulky HVAC units.
- Flexible, No-Ductwork Design: Because mini-splits only require a small conduit for refrigerant lines and wiring, you avoid the mess, space loss, and expense of installing rigid ductwork.
Our Professional Installation Process
Installing a ductless system requires specialized skill to protect your home and ensure maximum system efficiency. Here is what to expect when our local technicians visit your home:
- Sizing & Placement Assessment: We calculate the exact BTU requirements based on your room’s square footage, insulation, and layout to ensure perfect climate control.
- Interior Wall Mounting: We securely level and mount the sleek indoor air-handling unit on an optimal wall to distribute airflow evenly.
- Precision Line Routing: We drill a small 3-inch hole through the exterior wall to run the necessary refrigerant lines, electrical connections, and drainage tubing securely.
- Outdoor Unit Placement: The quiet condenser unit is set up outside on an elevated, stable concrete pad or sturdy wall bracket.
- Pressure Testing & Calibration: We vacuum the lines, test the system under strict pressure parameters to eliminate leak risks, and fire up the unit to calibrate your remote controls.

FAQ
Do ductless mini-splits actually work during freezing Michigan winters?
Yes, modern cold-climate mini-splits excel in freezing weather. While older heat pumps struggled when temperatures dropped, the advanced systems we install feature variable-speed inverter compressors. High-performance models can maintain up to 80% to 100% of their heating capacity in extreme conditions, keeping your home warm even when Madison Heights temperatures dip well below zero.
How do I protect the outdoor unit from heavy snow and ice?
We elevate the outdoor condenser on a specialized stand or wall bracket. To ensure proper airflow and prevent snow from burying the unit during winter storms, the compressor must be installed at least two feet above the typical snow line. During regular winter maintenance, you just need to keep the sides of the unit clear of deep snow accumulation and falling roof ice.
Can I use a mini-split as the sole heating source for a home addition?
Yes, a properly sized mini-split can fully heat a room without a backup furnace. During our initial consultation, we perform a detailed thermal load calculation on your basement or addition. By matching the system’s British Thermal Units (BTUs) to your room’s insulation, square footage, and windows, the system provides standalone comfort year-round.
How long does a typical mini-split installation take, and will it disrupt my day?
Most single-zone installations are completed in just 4 to 8 hours. Because ductless systems do not require tearing into your walls to run bulky metal ductwork, the process is incredibly clean and non-invasive. Our technicians will only need a few hours of access to your indoor room and outdoor equipment pad, meaning you can easily go about your normal routine with minimal interruption to your day.
