SOUND FAMILIAR?

Some rooms just never get comfortable

That bonus room, garage conversion, attic office, or sunroom that your central system simply cannot reach. Window units are loud, ugly, and insecure. There is a better way.

Rooms your AC can't reach

The addition, garage conversion, or attic office was never on your duct plan — and extending it is a pain.

Done with window units

Loud, dripping, and a security risk — install every May, yank every October. There's a better way.

No ducts, no room for ducts

Pre-war flats and brownstones predate central AC — running ducts means tearing open walls and ceilings.

One room, huge heating bill

Running the whole system to warm one office wastes energy — a mini-split heats just the room you use.

FAQ

Questions We Hear Every Day

Straight answers about ductless mini-split systems.

How does ductless HVAC work? An outdoor condenser unit transfers heat to or from refrigerant and pumps it through a small insulated line set — typically a 3-inch hole through the wall — to one or more indoor air handlers mounted high on the wall or ceiling. Each air handler conditions its own zone independently. Because there's no duct network to lose energy through, ductless mini-split systems typically run 20–30% more efficiently than central forced-air setups.

What is a mini split HVAC system? It's a compact, ductless heat pump that pairs a wall-mount or ceiling-cassette air handler indoors with a small outdoor compressor. Mini-splits are particularly well-suited to NYC apartments, co-ops, and brownstones where running new ductwork through plaster walls and tight floor cavities is impractical. Most NYC co-op boards require board approval and sometimes an engineer's letter before installation can proceed.

What is a ductless HVAC system? It's a refrigerant-based heating and cooling setup where individual air handlers in each room connect back to a shared outdoor compressor — no supply or return ductwork needed. A single multi-zone outdoor unit can typically serve 2–8 indoor heads depending on its capacity, letting you control the temperature in a home office independently from a bedroom or living room.

How long does ductless HVAC installation take? A single-zone mini-split in an NYC apartment or condo usually takes 4–8 hours for an experienced crew. A multi-zone system with 3–4 indoor heads typically runs one to two full days. In NYC, pre-permit time with DOB and co-op or condo board approval can add weeks to the project timeline before a technician ever sets foot in the unit, so planning ahead is essential.

How much does a ductless HVAC system cost in New York City? A single-zone mini-split (9,000–18,000 BTU) typically runs $3,000–$5,500 fully installed. Multi-zone systems with two to four indoor heads generally land between $7,000–$14,000 depending on brand, refrigerant line length, and wall penetration complexity. NYC labor rates are notably higher than national benchmarks, and crane or hoist access for high-floor outdoor units adds further cost.
