Ductless Mini Split Services in Raleigh, NC

The Perfect Small Solution for Big Comfort Needs

Ductless mini-split systems provide targeted heating and cooling without requiring traditional ductwork, making them a practical option for additions, bonus rooms, older homes, and other spaces where extending ductwork may not make sense.

Comfort Hounds provides ductless mini-split installation, repair, and replacement in Raleigh, NC, and nearby communities. With over 30 years of HVAC experience, we help homeowners evaluate system sizing, placement, comfort needs, and equipment options before recommending a solution.

Ductless Heating and Cooling Systems Explained

Ductless mini-split systems use an outdoor unit connected to one or more indoor units to provide heating and cooling without traditional ductwork. The indoor and outdoor equipment are connected by a small conduit containing refrigerant lines, electrical wiring, and condensate drainage, allowing each indoor unit to serve a specific room or zone.

Ductless mini-split systems can provide individual temperature control for specific rooms or zones, allowing you to heat or cool the areas you use without relying on a traditional ducted system. Depending on the application and equipment selected, benefits may include:

Like other HVAC equipment, ductless mini-split systems benefit from routine maintenance to help maintain airflow, system performance, and reliability. The Comfort Companion Club includes scheduled heating and cooling maintenance, priority service, member discounts, and additional benefits, starting at $20 per month for the first HVAC system and $10 per month for each additional system. Additional maintenance charges may apply for HVAC accessories and specialty equipment.

Great Space Ideas for Ductless Heating and Cooling Systems

Ductless mini-split systems can be a good fit for spaces that need independent temperature control, including homes without existing ductwork, additions, converted spaces, and rooms that are difficult to keep comfortable with the central HVAC system. Because ductless systems can provide both heating and cooling, they can be used for year-round comfort in individual rooms or zones. Common applications include:

Ductless Mini-Splits for Commercial Spaces

Ductless mini-split systems can also provide targeted heating and cooling for offices, retail spaces, additions, server rooms, and other commercial areas where traditional ductwork may not be practical. Comfort Hounds provides ductless installation, repair, and replacement for commercial properties throughout Raleigh and nearby communities.

Ductless Mini Split FAQs

Can ductless mini-split systems provide both heating and cooling?

Yes. Most ductless mini-split systems are heat pumps, providing cooling during warmer weather and heating during cooler weather. This allows one system to provide year-round comfort for the room or zone it serves.

What types of indoor units are available for ductless mini-split systems?

Ductless mini-split systems are available with several indoor unit styles, including wall-mounted units, ceiling cassettes, floor-mounted units, and concealed ducted air handlers. The best option depends on the space, installation requirements, appearance preferences, and comfort needs.

What are the maintenance requirements for ductless mini-split systems?

Ductless mini-split systems need routine maintenance just like other HVAC equipment. Maintenance typically includes cleaning or checking filters, inspecting the indoor and outdoor coils, checking condensate drainage, evaluating airflow, and verifying overall system operation. Regular maintenance can help identify developing problems and keep the system operating properly.

Are ductless mini-split systems suitable for all homes?

Not necessarily. Ductless mini-split systems can work well in many homes, apartments, condos, additions, and other spaces, especially where traditional ductwork is unavailable or impractical. Whether ductless is the right choice depends on the size and layout of the space, comfort needs, equipment sizing, and installation requirements.

We had a small emergency, the AC stopped working right before we were to have a party. They showed up, took care of the issue, then we're gone before guests arrived. Super helpful and I'm so grateful they were able to come at 5:15 at night!! -Oct 2020

Update 6/2023 came back from traveling and called comfort hounds late night after we had a big ordeal up in the attic and 78° + climbing. Rob got us on the schedule ASAP. The very next morning the tech was out. We had him check everything, needed to replace a few things and everything was working well. After talking with Rob, we realized we needed to insulate the new part and they came right back out to do that. Fast forward, we had suspicion that the damper actuator was going bad or finally died, even though it was working fine during our system check and right after we spent hours the first night troubleshooting- naturally! Usually we reset it and it kicks on. For sure this time, it was not working, BUT within minutes Rob was here. He got it changed out and we have crisp AC on the second floor and no issues with it shutting off. I'm thankful for Comfort Hounds' responsiveness and kindness, knowledge and dedication to making everything right. They have always taken care of me and I hope to continue doing business for years to come. Thanks guys for getting us up and running. See you in the fall for our winter check!

As a new homeowner, my HVAC system needed help. The AC, duct-work, and furnace were all breaking down. Rob and his team at Comfort Hounds came out and fixed everything.

- The AC works better and doesn't have to run as often.
- The ducts now have dampers so the heat and air spread more evenly throughout the house.
- The furnace heats our house faster and easier than before.
- There are no more big swings in temperature.

I could go on, but the point is that our HVAC system is now running properly thanks to Comfort Hounds.

Next is the price, HVAC repair is always expensive, but Comfort Hounds has the most competitive pricing out of the 4 other HVAC companies I've used in the past.

Lastly, Rob and his team were patient with us. They stayed well past the allotted time to fix our HVAC system. They spent time with us explaining how we could keep our system running well and how to save money on our electricity bill. They never rushed us despite having other appointments to make.

I will continue using Rob and his team for their skills, price, and patience. I highly recommend them.

Great company-friendly-professional-timely. They have been maintaining my hvac for two years. Quick to return calls/texts and provide service. Old system finally needed replacement and they were able to do so quickly and provide financing that met my budget requirements.

Very impressed with Rob’s knowledge and professionalism. He is also very upfront and honest - and fixed what turned out to be a very small issue with my system instead of trying to sell me on a new one. Will be calling him for any future needs!

Quick call back, same day service for my broken AC. Rob broke down pros and cons of repair vs replacing for my unit and went the extra mile to be sure I had the right system size and HVAC coil to match my heat pump and my sq footage for my house. He also did some maintenance and extra work on issues when installing the new system to be sure it could work at full capacity.
Great communication and didn't treat me different being a female. I'll definitely be returning!

I had an excellent experience with comfort hounds. My AC had gone out and was getting uncomfortably hot in the house. I have called several different companies and nobody had an appointments for days. Then I noticed comfort hounds said they were open after hours and within 20 minutes of my call they were here working on my air conditioning and had it repaired and working at 7:00 in the evening. I was really impressed with their quick and courteous service. I went ahead and signed up for the twice a year maintenance check so that I don't end up in an emergency situation again.

Rob and the guys were very responsive when others put me off for 1.5weeks. They came out and gave me honest, up front opinion. They weren't trying to pitch a new system on me just for the sake of sales. They told me what was wrong, estimated cost of repair into a dying system. It was just time and I finally decided to buy. The process was simple and fast. System ordered and installed when promised. Installation was faster than anticipated. New system far exceeds performance of older system. Highly recommend these folks - they won't jerk your chain.

Really happy I went with these guys. My HVAC went out and they were able to come diagnose the problem very quickly. While they had the parts on the truck and could do the repair same day I opted to replace my system. Rob was very knowledgeable of his products and what would work best for my home and able to give me a quote within 24 hours. Rob called to check on us after a particularly cold Sunday night to see if we needed space heaters or anything, super thoughtful. The new system 100% solves the problems I had with the old system - my upstairs is finally warm.

Definitely would recommend to a friend.

Rob is fantastic. He is always responsive and genuinely tries to help you with your issue as quickly as possible. He also does a great job of explaining what the issue is and what needs to be done to fix it. He’s always willing to talk through options and help you make the best decision. We’ve trusted Rob for over 3 years with all our HVAC needs and I can highly recommend him.
