Where do mini splits fit best?
A mini split has an outdoor unit and one or more indoor heads, connected by a small line set through the wall. Because it doesn't need ducts, it solves problems central air can't:
- Garages and workshops, which are common in Pinellas Park homes and brutal in summer
- Room additions and enclosed Florida rooms that were never tied into the main system
- A bedroom at the end of a long duct run that never cools
- Manufactured homes where the belly ducts have failed
- Homes with no ductwork at all
Most mini splits sold today are heat pumps, so they also heat on cool mornings.

What does a mini split cost?
Price depends on capacity, how many heads, the efficiency rating, how far the line set runs, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed. A garage head on a short run sits at the low end of the range above. Multi-room systems with long runs and upgraded heads sit at the top. We size each zone with a load calculation and put the price in writing.
Do you repair and clean mini splits?
Yes. In our humidity, the blower wheel and coil inside the indoor head can grow mold and slime within a year or two, which causes musty smells, dripping and weak airflow. A deep clean takes the head apart and washes the coil and blower. We also repair drain problems, error codes, sensors and refrigerant leaks.
Should I get a mini split or central air?
For a single room or a space with no ducts, a mini split is usually the better and cheaper answer. For a whole house with sound ductwork, central air usually costs less per square foot. Some homes use both: central air for the house and a mini split for the garage or addition.
How is a mini split installed?
- We measure the room or rooms and run a load calculation for each zone.
- We agree where the indoor head and the outdoor unit go, keeping the line set short and the drain path simple.
- A small hole through the wall carries the line set, power and drain; it's sealed and covered with a neat line-hide.
- We vacuum the lines, release the refrigerant, test the system and show you the remote or app.
A single-zone install is usually done in a day. If a permit is required for the job, we pull it.
Do mini splits qualify for Duke rebates?
Duke's HVAC replacement rebates are written around central systems (an indoor unit and outdoor unit replaced together, with SEER2 and HSPF2 minimums). Whether a particular mini split project qualifies depends on Duke's current terms, so we check with you before you buy rather than promise a rebate. Duke's HVAC rebate page.

FAQ
Pinellas Park Ductless Mini Splits FAQs
Mini split vs central air?
Mini splits win for single rooms, additions and homes without ducts. Central air is usually cheaper per square foot for a whole home with good ducts.
How much does a mini split cost?
Typical Tampa Bay market ranges are about $2,800–$8,600 for a single-zone install and about $8,600–$28,000 for multi-zone. These are estimates; we give a written price after a visit.
Can a mini split cool a garage in Florida?
Yes, if it's sized for the space and the garage door and walls are reasonably sealed. Insulating the garage door helps a lot.
Do mini splits need cleaning?
Yes. In Florida humidity, indoor heads should be deep-cleaned every one to two years to stop mold and keep airflow up.
How long does a mini split last?
With regular cleaning and maintenance, a well-installed mini split commonly lasts 12–15 years or more in Florida. Coastal air and skipped cleanings shorten that.
Can one outdoor unit run several rooms?
Yes. A multi-zone system connects two to five indoor heads to one outdoor unit, each with its own temperature setting.
