Mini-splits aren’t just “AC units without ducts.” They’re sophisticated systems with unique requirements.
Refrigerant lines, electrical requirements, and controls differ from traditional equipment. We understand the specifics — proper line sizing, evacuation procedures, multi-zone controls, and heat pump operation.
Poor installation ruins even the best equipment. We get the details right so your system works optimally.
Improper line sets, wrong indoor unit placement, inadequate electrical sizing — these mistakes cause poor performance, high bills, and early failure. Our installations are methodical and precise.
We don’t just mount a box on your wall. The installation looks as professional as it works.
Indoor units are positioned for both functionality and appearance. Line sets are routed discreetly. We protect your home’s aesthetics while delivering superior comfort.
Multi-zone mini-splits let you heat or cool different areas independently.
Bedroom to 68°F, living room to 72°F, office off — all at once. Customize comfort and save energy by conditioning only the spaces you’re using.
Maintenance keeps mini-splits efficient and reliable. We’re here for the long haul.
Seasonal tune-ups, repairs, and system upgrades. We maintain what we install and service what others install. Maintenance plans available.
Tap a scenario to see why mini-splits are the ideal solution.
Adding a new room is expensive if you have to extend ductwork through walls, ceilings, and floors. A mini-split makes the addition immediately comfortable without major construction.
Perfect for: master bedroom additions, home offices, in-law suites, converted garages, and bonus rooms over garages.
Cost Advantage
Much Less
Than extending ductwork through finished spaces.
Spaces far from central ductwork get independent temperature control with a mini-split. No more fighting the main thermostat to make the basement comfortable.
Perfect for: finished basements, attic offices, workshop spaces, and areas where ductwork is impractical.
Temperature Control
Independent
Set the temperature you want, when you want it.
These high-load spaces benefit from dedicated cooling and heating. Lots of windows mean temperature swings that challenge central systems.
Perfect for: three-season porches, four-season rooms, conservatories, and spaces with extensive glazing.
High Load Handling
Excellent
Handles temperature swings from sun exposure.
Add a mini-split to provide supplemental heating to rooms your furnace doesn’t reach well. Heat pump operation is efficient and responsive.
Perfect for: rooms at the end of duct runs, spaces that stay cold, and areas where you want extra warmth without running the whole system.
Efficiency
High
Heat pump operation is more efficient than electric heat.
Mini-splits run much quieter than traditional AC or furnace systems. Indoor units are nearly silent. Perfect for bedrooms, offices, and quiet spaces.
Perfect for: bedrooms, home offices, libraries, nurseries, and anywhere noise matters.
Noise Level
Whisper Quiet
Much quieter than window units or central systems.
Older homes, mobile homes, or buildings where installing ducts isn’t practical can get central comfort with mini-splits. No major construction required.
Perfect for: historic homes, mobile homes, additions, and buildings where ductwork installation is impractical or too expensive.
Installation
Minimal Impact
No major construction or ductwork required.
From site assessment through final testing, every Spencer mini-split installation follows the same methodical process. Professional installation is critical for performance, efficiency, and longevity.
We evaluate your space, discuss your comfort goals, and design the right system. Single-zone or multi-zone? Indoor unit placement? Outdoor unit location? Line set routing? We plan every detail before installation begins.
Based on your space and needs, we select the right capacity and features. Energy efficiency ratings, heating capability, smart controls — we match the equipment to your requirements and budget.
Indoor and outdoor unit mounting, line set installation with proper insulation, electrical connections, and refrigerant charging. We protect your home during installation and clean up completely when finished.
Complete system testing in both heating and cooling modes. Refrigerant pressures, electrical connections, airflow, and temperature performance. Every system is fully tested before we consider the job complete.
We show you how to operate your new system — remote control, temperature settings, modes, and maintenance. You receive all documentation, warranties, and our contact information for future service.
Our maintenance members enjoy priority scheduling, consistent system performance, and the confidence that comes from knowing a trained professional is keeping an eye on their equipment throughout the year.

No. Mini-splits require EPA certification for refrigerant handling, electrical knowledge, and proper evacuation/charging procedures. Improper installation voids warranties and can damage the system. Professional installation is mandatory.
No. That is the advantage. The outdoor unit connects to individual indoor units via small refrigerant and electrical lines. No ducts needed.
Lines are run through walls or along the exterior of your home. We route them discreetly to maintain aesthetics. The lines are insulated and protected.
No. Indoor units are very quiet (whisper-quiet compared to window units). The outdoor unit is comparable to a central AC condenser — audible but not loud.
Yes. Like heat pumps, mini-splits can operate in heating mode (winter) and cooling mode (summer). The outdoor unit reverses to switch between modes.
Each indoor unit has its own remote control. You can also install a wifi-enabled controller for remote access. Temperature and settings are controlled per zone.
Filter cleaning every 2 weeks and professional tune-ups each season (spring and fall). Not as demanding as central systems, but still important for efficiency. Maintenance plans available.
With proper maintenance, 15–20+ years. They are reliable systems. Regular maintenance extends lifespan.
Yes. We work with Wells Fargo for flexible financing. See financing options.
