What a Ductless Mini Split System Offers Burlington Homeowners
A ductless mini split system functions as both a heating and cooling solution in one unit, making it well-suited for Wisconsin’s full seasonal range. A heat pump draws heat from outdoor air to warm your home in winter and reverses the process to cool it in summer. Because there’s no ductwork involved, you avoid the energy losses that commonly occur through leaky or poorly insulated ducts in conventional forced-air systems.
One of the most practical advantages is zoned comfort. Each indoor air handler operates independently, so a bedroom can hold a different temperature than a living room without any compromise. Indoor units can be wall-mounted, ceiling-recessed, or floor-mounted to fit your room’s layout. They run quietly, producing a low hum rather than the cycling starts and stops of traditional forced-air equipment. Each unit also contains its own filter, conditioning only the air in its designated zone.
System configuration depends on your needs. A single-zone system pairs one outdoor unit with one indoor unit, ideal for targeted comfort in a specific room. A multi-zone system connects one outdoor unit to multiple indoor units, each with independent controls, making whole-home comfort without ductwork a practical option.
Where Mini Split Installation Makes the Most Sense
Not every home or project is a good fit for central ductwork, and that’s where mini split systems stand out. Homes without existing ductwork can be outfitted with mini splits with minimal structural disruption, avoiding the significant construction that adding traditional ductwork requires. Room additions, finished garages, bonus rooms, and converted attics are common candidates because they’re often too far from the main system to connect efficiently. Sunrooms with heavy glass exposure frequently exceed the capacity of a primary HVAC system and benefit from a dedicated unit. Home offices where consistent temperature matters regardless of the rest of the house are another strong application. A multi-zone system can also supplement an existing HVAC setup to address problem areas that your current equipment struggles to reach.
Our Mini Split Installation Process
Every installation begins with a free in-home consultation. We assess your heating and cooling needs, measure room sizes, and evaluate existing electrical wiring before any equipment is specified. From there, our technicians determine the optimal placement for indoor and outdoor units to support efficient airflow and minimize the visual impact on your home.
Indoor units are mounted on walls or ceilings. Refrigerant lines and electrical conduit run through a small penetration in the wall to connect the indoor air handler to the outdoor condenser unit. All work follows applicable safety and building codes. Professional installation is required for correct refrigerant line sizing, electrical connections, drainage, and refrigerant charging. DIY installation voids manufacturer warranties and can lead to poor performance or equipment damage.
After installation, we test the system thoroughly for proper functionality and temperature control. We close every job with a system walkthrough so you understand the features and maintenance requirements before we leave. The technicians handling your installation are trained through our structured Internal Apprenticeship & Development Program, a multi-year curriculum that combines classroom instruction with supervised hands-on field work under direct Senior Mechanic oversight. Every technician is NATE-certified and factory-trained.
When to Consider Replacing an Existing Mini Split
A noticeable increase in energy bills without any change in usage can be an early sign that a system is struggling. Rooms that consistently fail to reach the set temperature, or a system requiring repair call after repair call, may be signaling that replacement is the more cost-effective path. Systems a decade or more old that show multiple symptoms warrant a closer look.
At H.J. Faust, Inc., we start every evaluation with a thorough inspection before recommending any solution. Our commitment is straightforward: we don’t recommend more than your system actually requires. You’ll receive the guidance that fits your situation, not the most expensive option on the table.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does Mini Split Installation Cost?
Cost depends on the number of indoor units, the complexity of the installation, and the size of the spaces being conditioned. We provide a detailed estimate before any work begins so there are no surprises.
Can a Mini Split System Cool an Entire House?
Yes. A multi-zone system connects one outdoor unit to multiple indoor units throughout the home, each with independent controls. This configuration can handle whole-home comfort without ductwork or supplement an existing system in areas your current equipment doesn’t reach well.
Do Mini Splits Also Provide Heat?
Lennox and Mitsubishi mini splits include both heating and cooling capability. The heat pump function draws heat from outdoor air to warm your home in winter, making it a year-round system rather than a seasonal one.
Are Mini Splits a Good Fit for Older Homes?
They’re one of the best options for older Burlington homes that lack ductwork. Installation requires only a small wall penetration for the refrigerant lines and conduit, so structural disruption is minimal compared to adding traditional ductwork.
How Noisy Are Mini Split Systems?
Indoor units produce a low hum during operation rather than the cycling noise of conventional forced-air systems. Outdoor units also run quietly. Most homeowners find the sound level noticeably lower than what they’re used to with standard HVAC equipment.
Can I Control a Mini Split with a Smartphone or Smart Home System?
Many modern mini split systems include remote controls and can integrate with smart home platforms. We can walk you through the control options available for the Lennox and Mitsubishi systems we install during your free consultation.
What Maintenance Does a Mini Split System Require?
Regular mini split maintenance, including filter cleaning and system inspection, supports consistent performance and extends equipment life.
Why Does Professional Installation Matter?
Proper refrigerant line sizing, electrical connections, drainage, and refrigerant charging all require licensed, trained technicians. DIY installation voids manufacturer warranties and can result in equipment damage or poor system performance. Our NATE-certified, ABC-trained mechanics handle every installation to the manufacturer’s specifications.
