Mini-Split Systems
When IT’S TIME, give Smith & Keene a call. Our skilled technicians will install your Ductless Mini-Split System and maintenance it so it lasts.
If you have a room in your home that is difficult to cool, want to turn your garage into a workshop, or are considering a home addition, then a Mitsubishi Ductless Mini Split System may be your answer. These systems differ from the traditional heat pumps and forced AC systems in that they deliver air directly into distinct zones. Split systems are highly flexible. They are comprised of a small outdoor unit and one or more indoor units, simply requiring access to electricity and mounting capabilities.
Homeowners love the cost savings that split ductless systems offer. Their small size and direct delivery of temperature control means operating on less power and greater efficiencies than traditional duct systems. You control the temperature in each room, allowing you to decide which rooms get heated or cooled. This zoning of specific rooms in your home means you can eliminate the heating or cooling of unoccupied rooms, further increasing efficiency and lowering your utility bill.
Because the Mitsubishi Ductless Mini Split System consists of only one outdoor unit and one or more indoor units without a duct system, the installation process is quick and easy. These systems are less invasive than traditional options and thus the time it takes to install can be as swift as a single day.
Ductless systems also provide improved indoor air quality compared to traditional HVAC systems. Traditional duct heating and cooling systems require routine cleaning by professionals, still leaving behind dust and other allergens. Ductless systems clean the air through a multi-stage filtration system. This filtration system cleans the air by reducing bacteria, pollen, and allergens.
We understand that HVAC replacement can be a costly investment for our customers, which is why we offer multiple financing options with approved credit so that you can get a great rate and terms to make your new system manageable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a furnace and a heat pump?
Both furnaces and heat pumps are used to keep your home warm. Furnaces are some of the oldest heating devices still used to keep residential homes warm. They convert a fuel source, such as natural gas, oil, electricity, or induction, into heat.
Heat pumps are part of a central heating and cooling system. They use electricity or natural gas and refrigerant to convert heat from outside air inside your home to keep it warm in the winter and remove hot air from inside your home to keep it cool in the summer.
