Mini Split Installation in Mt Lebanon, PA

What Is a Ductless Mini-Split?

A ductless mini-split system consists of one or more indoor air-handling units connected to an outdoor condenser via refrigerant lines. Unlike traditional forced-air systems, mini-splits require no ductwork, offering a compact footprint and the ability to heat or cool individual rooms independently. Ideal for older homes without existing ducts, home additions, finished basements and small commercial spaces, mini-splits deliver zoned comfort with minimal disruption to your interior.

Benefits for Mt Lebanon Homes

• Energy Efficiency: Inverter-driven compressors adjust output in real time, reducing energy waste during light-load conditions.
• Zone Control: Independently set temperatures for bedrooms, home offices, living areas and sunrooms—eliminating over conditioning unused spaces.
• Improved Indoor Air Quality: Multi-stage filtration and UV options remove pollen, dust and bacteria, enhancing comfort for allergy sufferers.
• Quiet Operation: Indoor units operate as low as 19 decibels, preserving the peaceful atmosphere of Mt Lebanon’s residential neighborhoods.

Our Comprehensive Installation Process

• Free Consultation & Load Calculation: A certified technician reviews your home’s square footage, insulation levels and window orientation to determine precise cooling and heating loads.
• Detailed Site Assessment & Permit Handling: We inspect wall structure, electrical panel capacity and outdoor condenser placement. All local permits and Allegheny County code requirements are managed on your behalf.

• Post-Installation Support: Our team provides an overview of maintenance protocols, remote-access setup (Wi-Fi thermostat integration) and a follow-up inspection to confirm ongoing performance.
