Why Choose Mitsubishi Mini Splits?

Types of Ductless Mini Split Systems
Single-zone ductless mini splits
Single-zone ductless mini splits have two components: an outdoor condenser unit and an indoor handler unit. A single-zone, ductless mini split is perfect for single, one-off spaces like garages and home extensions.
Dual-zone ductless mini splits
Dual-zone ductless mini splits heat and cool two separate "zones" (areas) of your home. This system allows you to control the temperature in each space, providing more comprehensive coverage to keep your home comfortable. A multi-zone system includes an outdoor condenser unit and two indoor air handlers.
Multi-zone ductless mini splits
The multi-zone ductless mini splits system delivers whole-home temperature control. Depending on the size of the home, up to eight indoor air handlers are paired with one outdoor condenser unit.
Mini Split Installation Process
Mini splits require the installation of indoor and outdoor components.
Indoor Air Handler Unit Installation
Indoor air handler unit installation begins with determining the ideal location(s) to mount the unit(s). The best location for optimal airflow is typically at least 6 feet off the floor, away from heat sources, and unobstructed by furniture and other objects. Our installation professionals will determine the routing of refrigerant lines from the outdoor units to the indoor units.
Once the planning is complete, our contractors will mount brackets to the wall for each indoor air handler unit. We then mount each unit onto the brackets. We will route refrigerant lines through sleeves to the outdoor units.
Outdoor Unit Installation
We will install pads in the most suitable locations, as per your preference, for outdoor unit installation. We mount the condenser unit before installing tubing, piping, and controls. We fasten tubing and electrical wires to the exterior walls and then cover them for protection from the elements.
