Some spaces will never have ductwork: the converted garage, the Florida room addition, the guest house, the master suite that's always too warm. Ductless mini-splits solve exactly that — one outdoor unit connected to one or more indoor heads, no ducts required.
We install and service mini-splits across Fort Lauderdale and Broward County: sized to the space, mounted cleanly, with the dedicated electrical circuit run by our own electricians.
Where Mini-Splits Win
Additions and enclosed Florida rooms that the main system was never sized for. Converted garages — now offices, gyms, studios. Guest houses and in-law suites that need independent control. Historic homes in Victoria Park and Colee Hammock where running new ducts would mean tearing into plaster.
They're also the fix for the chronically warm room: instead of oversizing the whole central system, a mini-split gives that room its own cooling.
How They Work
A compact outdoor unit connects to indoor wall, ceiling, or floor-mounted heads through a small refrigerant line set — usually a three-inch penetration, not a duct chase. Each indoor head gets its own thermostat, so zones run independently.
Inverter-driven compressors ramp up and down instead of slamming on and off, which means quiet operation, steady temperatures, and strong dehumidification — a real advantage in Florida's humidity.
Sizing and Installation
Bigger is not better with mini-splits: an oversized head short-cycles and leaves the space clammy. We size each zone to its actual load — windows, insulation, and exposure included.
Installation is typically a day: outdoor unit set on a pad or wall bracket, line set run cleanly, indoor heads mounted level, system evacuated, charged, and tested. Our electricians run the dedicated circuit and handle the permit.
Maintenance
Mini-splits need their filters cleaned regularly — the washable filters in the indoor heads, rinsed every few weeks in cooling season — plus professional service to check the outdoor coil, refrigerant, and drain. Beachside heads need the same salt attention as any coastal equipment.
Common questions
Can one outdoor unit run multiple rooms?
Yes — multi-zone systems run several indoor heads from one outdoor unit, each with independent control. We design the zoning around how you actually use the spaces.
Are mini-splits efficient?
Very. Inverter compressors and no duct losses — there's no attic ductwork leaking cold air — make them among the most efficient options per ton.
Will the indoor unit look ugly on my wall?
Modern wall heads are slim and quiet, and ceiling cassettes nearly disappear. We'll show you the options for your space before you commit.
Do I need a permit?
Yes, mini-split installations require permits in Broward County. We pull them and handle the inspection.
