What Is a Ductless Mini-Split?

A ductless mini-split consists of an outdoor compressor/condenser and one or more indoor air-handling units, each connected by a small refrigerant line and condensate drain. Key benefits include:

  • Zoned Comfort: Independently control temperatures in living rooms, bedrooms or home offices.
  • Energy Efficiency: Variable-speed inverter drives adjust capacity to match load, reducing utility bills.
  • Improved Air Quality: Multi-stage filtration captures dust, pollen, and odors without the losses associated with ductwork.
  • Quiet Operation: Indoor units operate as low as 19 dB(A), ensuring minimal disruption.

Comprehensive Site Assessment & Load Calculation

Proper mini-split performance hinges on an accurate site evaluation. Our technicians:

  • Inspect building envelope, insulation levels, window orientation and shading.
  • Measure room dimensions and ceiling heights.
  • Perform Manual J load calculations to determine cooling/heating capacity requirements.
  • Evaluate indoor unit placement for optimal airflow, aesthetics and structural support.
  • Verify electrical capacity and circuit availability to meet manufacturer specifications.

Navigating Permits and Local Code Requirements

Green Tree falls under Allegheny County permitting regulations for HVAC alterations. We manage:

  • Permit Applications: Submission of design drawings and load calculation reports.
  • Code Compliance: Adherence to PA Uniform Construction Code and local zoning ordinances.
  • Inspection Coordination: Scheduling county inspections and addressing any required corrections.

This comprehensive approach ensures your installation proceeds without delays or unexpected fees.

Step-by-Step Installation Process

  • Mounting Indoor Units: Secure low-profile brackets, level units and confirm refrigerant line routes.
  • Refrigerant Line and Drain Piping: Drill a single 3″ hole, install insulated copper lines, PVC condensate drain and electrical conduit.
  • Outdoor Condenser Installation: Place on a concrete pad or wall brackets, ensure proper clearance for airflow and service access.
  • Electrical Hookup: Install dedicated breakers, run power cables and ground connections in compliance with NEC.
  • Vacuum, Charge and Leak-Test: Evacuate moisture and air, charge to manufacturer-specified refrigerant levels and perform pressure/leak tests.
  • System Commissioning: Program wireless remote controls, test heating/cooling cycles, calibrate temperature sensors and demonstrate operation.
