Ductless Mini-Split Installation in Kenilworth typically costs $4,000-$14,000 installed in 2026, depending on home size and efficiency tier.
Kenilworth's landmark homes are largely plaster-walled and built for radiators, so cutting in ductwork is genuinely invasive - the strongest possible case for ductless mini-splits.

Ductless Mini-Split Installation for Kenilworth homes
In a Kenilworth home, threading ducts through plaster walls and original framing means damage that's expensive to undo and hard to hide. A ductless mini-split avoids all of it: a small indoor head serves each key space - a primary bedroom, a sunroom, a finished third floor - fed by slim refrigerant lines from a single outdoor unit, with the existing boiler still carrying the main winter heat. Each zone has its own thermostat, so comfort is targeted, not blanket.
As heat pumps, these systems heat and cool, and a cold-climate unit meeting the ENERGY STAR floor can earn ComEd's heat-pump rebate. We plan every head and line-set run to stay discreet against historic finishes, size each zone precisely, and place the outdoor unit out of sight. Licensed, insured installers work carefully around original plaster and millwork, and register the warranty.
