Real Experience with Mini-Splits

We don't just install mini-splits—we live with them. Our team operates a 9-head mini-split system with Home Assistant integration, giving us hands-on experience with everything from installation challenges to daily operation and smart home integration.

What Are Mini-Splits?

Mini-split systems (also called ductless heat pumps) consist of an outdoor compressor unit connected to one or more indoor air handlers. They provide efficient heating and cooling without ductwork, making them ideal for:

Room additions and sunrooms
Garages and workshops
Casitas and guest houses
Homes without existing ductwork
Zone-by-zone temperature control
Replacing inefficient window units

Phoenix-Specific Considerations

Mini-splits work exceptionally well in Phoenix's climate, but proper sizing and installation are critical:

Adequate BTU capacity: Phoenix heat requires properly sized units
SEER ratings: high-efficiency models pay for themselves quickly
Outdoor unit shade: we help select cooler locations to maximize efficiency
Line set protection: UV-resistant insulation for exposed runs
Backup cooling: discuss integration with existing systems if desired

Smart Home Integration

With our Home Assistant expertise, we can integrate your mini-splits with your smart home for advanced control:

Voice control (Alexa, Google, Siri)
Occupancy-based automation
Temperature scheduling by room
Energy monitoring and optimization
Integration with window sensors (turn off when windows open)
