Ductless Mini-Split Installation for Niles homes
A mini-split uses an outdoor unit and slim indoor heads connected by a small line set, so it needs no ductwork at all. In Niles, that makes it the practical answer for additions and for boiler-heated homes that want summer cooling. We assess where the heads and line set can run cleanly, size each zone to its load, and place the outdoor unit out of the way.
Many mini-splits also qualify as heat pumps for ComEd rebates, worth confirming before you buy since amounts change. Licensed, insured installers mount the indoor heads, route the line set discreetly, set and charge the system, and register the warranty. We are honest about the trade-off most homeowners weigh: the visible indoor head.
