A ductless mini-split cools (and heats) one room or zone at a time, with no ductwork at all: a small outdoor unit connects to slim indoor heads through a single small wall penetration. It is the cleanest answer for rooms the central system cannot reach.
We install, repair, and maintain mini-splits across Stuart and Martin County — and because every install needs a dedicated circuit, our electrical division handles the wiring in the same job.
Where Mini-Splits Make Sense
The classic cases: a Florida room or sunroom the central ducts never reached, a converted garage turned office, a home addition, a detached workshop, or that one bedroom that is always five degrees warmer than the rest. Mini-splits are also the practical answer for 1920s downtown bungalows where running new ductwork through old framing would be a demolition project.
Because each indoor head has its own thermostat, you stop paying to condition empty rooms. A home office that runs all day can stay cool while the rest of the house coasts.
Single-Zone vs. Multi-Zone
Single-zone pairs one outdoor unit with one indoor head — simple and efficient for one room. Multi-zone runs two to four indoor heads off one outdoor unit, so a converted garage, a sunroom, and a stubborn bedroom can each have their own control from one piece of outdoor equipment.
We size each head to its room with a real load calculation. Oversized heads short-cycle and leave rooms cold but clammy, the same humidity trap as an oversized central system.
Installation: What to Expect
Most single-zone installs finish in a day. We mount the indoor head, set the outdoor unit on a pad or wall bracket — with salt-air-rated placement in mind near the river and coast — run the line set and condensate drain through one small wall opening, and wire the dedicated circuit.
Permits are pulled where required. You get the written price before work begins, and we walk you through the remote controls and filter cleaning before we leave.
Common questions
Can a mini-split replace my central AC?
For a small home or a home with few rooms, sometimes. For most homes, mini-splits are a supplement — they solve the rooms central air can't reach. We can evaluate both paths.
Do mini-splits work in humid Florida summers?
Yes — they dehumidify as they cool. Right-sizing is what matters: an oversized head short-cycles and leaves the room clammy.
How do I clean a mini-split?
Rinse the washable filters every few weeks in cooling season and keep the outdoor unit clear of debris. We handle the deep cleaning — coils, blower wheel, drain — on maintenance visits.
Do mini-splits need their own electrical circuit?
Yes, a dedicated circuit from the panel. Our electrical division wires it as part of the installation, with one written price for the whole job.
