Ductless Mini-Splits in Arlington

Older houses were laid out around radiators, not ductwork, and forcing ducts through plaster walls and cramped joist bays seldom justifies the mess. Ductless mini-splits sidestep the whole problem. Each indoor head, hung high on a wall, perched low near the floor or set flush into a ceiling, links to a condenser outside by a slim bundle of refrigerant tubing and a drain line. That bundle is the only thing that needs to pass through the house, and in most cases we route it outdoors beneath a neat cover or down through a closet, so the rooms themselves stay untouched. The heads hum quietly enough for nurseries and home offices, and each one runs independently, meaning the third-floor bedroom that bakes every July and the sun porch that turns icy each winter can finally be set on their own terms. A single head can rescue one problem room; several heads on one or more condensers can heat and cool a whole house. We size each head to its room's heat loss, choose spots that work with furniture and windows, and teach you the remotes or thermostats at commissioning.
