Ductless heat pump installation

Room-by-room comfort from a single outdoor unit

Heat and cool every room with one ductless mini-split system, no ductwork required. We size the system to your home, run clean lines, test every zone, and file the Energize CT paperwork for you. Most projects fall between $8,000 and $35,000 before rebates, with up to $10,000 in Energize CT incentives.

Room-by-room zoned comfort

What's included

Your estimate covers the full scope of a ductless installation

One system, flexible zones. Whether you are upgrading a room that is always too hot or too cold, or replacing an older central system, we design a setup that fits your layout, comfort goals, and budget. A single outdoor unit can serve multiple indoor heads, giving every room its own temperature control.

Cost depends on your home. Most projects fall between $8,000 and $35,000 before rebates, with a typical mid-range project around $17,500. System size, number of zones, line routing, and any electrical work all affect the total. Financing starts as low as about $45/month, and rebates can bring the net cost well below the sticker price.

SYSTEM SIZING

We match the system to your rooms, not a rule of thumb

Right-sizing delivers the rated efficiency you are paying for. We assess each space and size the number of indoor heads and the outdoor unit to your layout and comfort goals — a single outdoor unit can serve several indoor heads, and because each head is controlled independently, every room gets the temperature it actually needs rather than one setting for the whole house.

  • Each space assessed individually before any equipment is selected
  • One outdoor unit can serve multiple independently controlled indoor heads
  • Right-sizing prevents short-cycling and "never quite keeps up" problems
INSTALLATION DAY

Clean line runs, secured units, every zone tested before we leave

No surprises on the electrical side. Our licensed technicians conceal refrigerant and drain lines wherever the home allows; ductless systems need a dedicated 240V circuit, so we confirm your electrical capacity up front and fold any needed work into the quote. Before we leave, we test every zone and walk the finished job with you.

  • Refrigerant and drain lines concealed wherever the home allows
  • 240V electrical capacity confirmed and included in the quote up front
  • Every zone tested and walked through with you before the crew departs
