When Mini-Splits Are The Best Solution
Ductless mini-split systems aren't just an alternative to traditional HVAC—they're often the superior choice for specific situations and home types.
Homes Without Ductwork
Older homes, historic properties, or homes built without central air don't need expensive ductwork installation. Mini-splits provide modern cooling comfort without tearing apart walls and ceilings.
Room Additions & Renovations
Adding a sunroom, converted garage, bonus room, or workshop? Extending existing ductwork can be costly or impossible. A mini-split provides instant climate control for your new space.
Hot or Cold Spots
Does one room always feel too hot or too cold? Instead of running your whole-house system to cool one problem area, a mini-split provides targeted comfort exactly where you need it.
Energy Efficiency Priority
Looking to reduce energy bills? Mini-splits with SEER ratings of 20-30+ are significantly more efficient than older central AC systems (typically 13-16 SEER). No duct losses means more cooling for less money.
Multi-Family Properties
Apartments, duplexes, and rental properties benefit from individual zone control. Each unit or tenant can control their own comfort and pay for only what they use.
Supplemental Cooling Needs
Have an existing system that can't keep up during peak summer heat? Add a mini-split to supplement your central air without replacing the entire system. Perfect for upper floors or sun-facing rooms.
Professional Service & Repair
Our technicians are factory-trained on GREE, Mitsubishi, and other leading mini-split brands. We provide expert installation, maintenance, and repair services for all ductless systems.
Mini-splits require specialized knowledge—trust your investment to professionals who work with these systems every day.
Premium Mitsubishi Systems
Mitsubishi Electric is the industry leader in ductless technology. Their Hyper-Heating systems can heat your home even when temperatures drop below zero—perfect for North Carolina winters.
We install Mitsubishi mini-splits with the precision and care these premium systems deserve.
Not sure if a mini-split is right for your home? Our HVAC experts provide free consultations to assess your needs and recommend the best cooling solution. We also offer traditional central AC installation if that's a better fit.
Massive Energy Savings & Zone Control Benefits
Mini-splits deliver exceptional energy efficiency and customizable comfort that traditional systems simply can't match.
Energy Savings That Add Up
Up to 40% Lower Cooling Costs
High-efficiency inverter technology adjusts compressor speed to match cooling demand, eliminating the energy waste of constant on/off cycling in traditional systems.
Zero Duct Losses
Traditional ductwork can lose 20-30% of cooling energy through leaks, poor insulation, and long runs. Mini-splits deliver 100% of their cooling directly to your living space.
SEER Ratings of 20-30+
While standard central AC systems rate at 13-16 SEER, quality mini-splits achieve 20-30+ SEER ratings. Higher SEER = lower operating costs and a smaller carbon footprint.
Tax Credits & Rebates
High-efficiency mini-splits may qualify for federal tax credits and utility rebates, reducing your upfront investment while maximizing long-term savings.
Zone Control for Ultimate Comfort
Individual Room Control
Each indoor unit has its own remote or wireless controller. Set the master bedroom to 68°F while keeping the living room at 72°F. Everyone gets their preferred temperature.
Cool Only What You Use
Why cool the entire house when you're only using two rooms? Turn off units in unoccupied spaces and save 25-35% on cooling costs compared to whole-house systems.
Multi-Zone Systems
Connect up to 8 indoor units to a single outdoor compressor. Each zone operates independently with its own thermostat, providing customized comfort throughout your home.
Perfect for Different Schedules
Family members come and go at different times? Cool bedrooms at night, living areas during the day, and home offices during work hours—without wasting energy on empty rooms.

Professional installation ensures your mini-split system operates at peak efficiency and reliability. Here's what to expect when you choose Dependable HVAC.
Free Consultation & Assessment
We visit your property to evaluate your cooling needs, room dimensions, insulation quality, and electrical capacity. We'll recommend the right system size and configuration for optimal performance.
Detailed Quote & Equipment Selection
Receive a transparent quote with no hidden fees. We'll help you choose between leading brands and explain warranty coverage, energy efficiency ratings, and features to match your budget and goals.
Outdoor Unit Placement
We strategically position the outdoor compressor on a level pad with proper clearance for airflow and maintenance access. Location considerations include noise levels, aesthetics, and ease of service.
Indoor Unit Installation
Indoor air handlers are mounted high on walls for optimal air distribution. We drill a small 3-inch hole to connect refrigerant lines, electrical wiring, and condensate drainage—minimally invasive compared to ductwork.
System Testing & Calibration
Once connected, we vacuum the refrigerant lines, check for leaks, verify electrical connections, test all operational modes, and calibrate thermostats. Every system is tested for peak performance before we leave.
Walkthrough & Training
We show you how to operate your remote control, adjust temperature settings, change modes, set timers, and clean filters. You'll receive manufacturer documentation and our 24/7 emergency contact information.
Why Professional Installation Matters
Improper mini-split installation can reduce efficiency by 20-30%, void manufacturer warranties, and lead to premature system failure. Our licensed technicians (#36703) ensure:
- Proper refrigerant charge for maximum efficiency and longevity
- Correctly sized electrical connections that meet local building codes
- Leak-free refrigerant line connections with proper insulation
- Adequate condensate drainage to prevent water damage
- Manufacturer warranty protection through certified installation
