A mini-split uses an outdoor unit and slim indoor heads connected by a small line set, needing no ductwork at all - a good fit for Vernon Hills bonus rooms and additions the central system leaves uneven. 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.
