Mini-Split Systems are an excellent way to heat and cool spaces such as garages, additions to your home, or even as supplemental cooling to a primary area of the home to provide a range of temperatures to your liking! While there are many DIY type ductless mini-split systems, make sure and do your research before making an investment. Many times, those off-brand systems lack the operational noise, efficiency, warranty, and overall comfort level that a name brand system provides that is installed by a professional partnered with their brand. Although you may save on cost up front, over the years you will ultimately end up paying the same amount as you would for a professional install with a reputable company that backs up its work and provides a warranty beyond what the big box stores and the manufacturer provides. Another thing most people don't consider is part availability, when looking for replacement parts when something does break, it is almost impossible to track down the manufacturers of these systems. So do yourself a favor and save the headache. Choose a reputable brand installed by a reputable licensed, and insured company that will provide not only an all-inclusive warranty, but the peace of mind that your system will be properly maintained and last for many years to come!
