Yes! Mini-splits are perfect for older homes without ductwork. They provide efficient heating and cooling without major renovations. Each unit operates independently for personalized comfort in different rooms.

Common causes include poor insulation, air leaks, inefficient equipment, dirty filters, or duct leaks. Our energy assessments identify specific issues and recommend cost-effective solutions to reduce consumption.
Do you service well pump pressure tanks?
While we don't service well pumps directly, we work closely with local well contractors when HVAC installations require coordination with water systems, especially for geothermal projects.
