Ductless Mini-Split Installation for Skokie homes
A mini-split uses an outdoor unit and one or more indoor heads connected by a slim line set, so it needs no ductwork at all - which is why it fits Skokie additions and boiler-heated homes so well. We assess where the heads and line set can run cleanly, size each zone to its actual load, and place the outdoor unit where it stays out of the way.
Many mini-split systems also qualify as heat pumps for ComEd rebates, which is worth confirming before you buy since amounts and eligibility 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 one trade-off most homeowners weigh: the visible indoor head.
