Installing a ductless mini split system can be an intimidating task, but with the right guidance and tools it doesn’t have to be. Before starting any project, it is important to understand how much the cost of installation might be. The cost of installing a ductless mini split will vary depending on the size of your space, how many units you are looking to install and how complicated the project may be. Additionally, some local ordinances may require specialized permits as well as extra labor costs.

Once you have researched how much your installation will likely cost, it is time to begin gathering all the necessary tools and components for this job. You will need two main components: an outdoor condenser unit and indoor air handler(s). To begin installation, the first step is to locate a suitable place to mount the outdoor condenser. The area should be level and have adequate space for airflow. Once you’ve determined the ideal spot, you can use mounting brackets and hardware to secure it in place.

Next, you will need to drill holes through your exterior or interior walls in order to connect tubing from the condenser unit to each air handler inside your home. It is important that these tube connections are properly sealed with appropriate sealant materials in order to prevent any leaks throughout the system. After all of your tubes are connected and sealed, you can power up both the indoor and outdoor units individually as well as together.

At this point, you may also want to consider adding a programmable thermostat, which will help you maintain your desired temperature settings in each room. Finally, it is important to check the system for any leaks or irregularities before beginning regular use.

Installing a ductless mini split is not an easy task and requires attention to detail, but with the right research and guidance it can be a rewarding experience that adds comfort and convenience to your home. With proper care and maintenance, a ductless mini split can provide you with years of reliable performance.
