How long does ductless AC installation take?

A single-zone ductless installation is usually completed in one day. Multi-zone systems with several indoor heads or long line runs may take one to two days. Your technician will give you a timeline along with your by-the-job price before the work is scheduled.

How many indoor units do I need?

The number of indoor units depends on how many rooms or zones you want to control separately and on the size and layout of each space. An open floor plan may need only one head, while separate bedrooms usually need one each. A multi-zone outdoor unit can support several indoor heads, and we will recommend a layout during your free estimate.

Is a ductless mini-split right for my home?

A ductless mini-split is a good fit for room additions, garages, sunrooms, and homes without existing ductwork. It also works well for rooms that stay hotter or colder than the rest of the house. Homes that need even cooling in every room may be better served by a central system, and a free estimate can help you decide.

What is a ductless mini-split system?

A ductless mini-split is a heating and cooling system that uses an outdoor unit connected to one or more wall-mounted indoor units by a small refrigerant line. Each indoor unit conditions its own room or zone and has its own controls. Because no ductwork is needed, mini-splits avoid the energy losses that can occur in leaky ducts.

Ductless Installation Done the Right Way

Room-by-room planning and firm pricing for Alamo Heights homes.

A ductless system is planned around the rooms that need it, and your estimate is free. We visit your Alamo Heights home to look at each space, its size and sun exposure, and where the indoor heads and outdoor unit can be placed for even comfort and a clean appearance. If you have a quote from another company, ask about our Free Second Opinion promotion. A projected estimate by phone is available, but an in-person visit gives the most accurate recommendation.
Ductless installation is priced by the job, not the hour, so the number you approve covers the full project regardless of how long mounting and line routing take. Appointments are available from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday, with an extra charge for Saturday work, and same-day service is available when the schedule allows. If an existing mini-split only needs repair, there is no diagnostic fee when you have the repair completed.
Financing is available for both single-zone and multi-zone systems, which makes it easier to condition several rooms at once. Teachers, first responders, seniors, veterans, and active military members can use our 10% discount in place of another special when it saves more. Qualifying equipment and parts include manufacturer warranties, extended warranty packages are available, and Aire Serv Alamo Heights corrects workmanship issues at no charge under the Neighborly Done Right Promise®.

How We Install Ductless Mini-Splits

Ductless installation begins with a room-by-room assessment to determine how many indoor heads you need, the capacity of each, and whether a single-zone or multi-zone outdoor unit fits best. On installation day, the technician mounts each indoor unit on a wall bracket, drills a small opening through the exterior wall, and routes the refrigerant line set, communication wiring, and condensate drain to the outdoor unit. The outdoor condenser is set on a level pad or wall bracket and connected to a dedicated electrical circuit. After a vacuum test confirms the lines are sealed, the system is charged and tested in cooling and heating modes. Before leaving your Alamo Heights home, we show you how to use the remote, set schedules, and clean the washable filters.
