             Installing Ductless HVAC System Since 2010

Yes, that's right, almost 15 years of trouble free technology. Ductless HVAC units, sometimes refered to as Mini Splits have a long track record of durability and dependency. Designed for installation into almost an home design, these ultra quiet, high efficiency heat pumps come in a variety of sizes, designs and endless combinations, make adding them to your existing heating and cooling ideal. Especially for homes that have that one room that doesn't quite get as comfortable as the rest of the house, or a guest room for family members that like it a "little warmer" in the winter than you would like to set the thermostat. O'Brien Home Services can design a remedy that is design appealling and wallet friendly.

         What is a Ductless Mini Split and How does it Work?

Ductless air conditioners and heat pumps combine one outdoor unit with several indoor ones. Unlike Central AC, which uses ductwook to transport cooled or heated air throughout the house, these system are mounted directly on an interior wall and control the HVAC needs of that particular room directly. That's right, individual, comfort control to meet each individual need. Everyone has a family member who likes it really hot or cold, with mini splits, that person can have their temperature settings that make them comfortable, without subjecting the rest of the house.

Ideal, independent, temperature control to provide room by room comfort.

  What are the Benefits of a Mini Split System over Central Air?

Lower Heating and Cooling Costs: Central Air systems depend on a single unit per floor, to push that treated air from a central location to every corner of the house. Not a very efficient way to maintain comfort, with a single thermostat to monitor the temperature, everyone knows the saying "just set it a little higher" to keep the house comfortable. And pushing cooler air throughout the home is even harder. With individual room units, you can substantially reduce energy costs and balance the temperature directly.

Extreme Flexibility: Ever have one room to hot and another to cold, at the same time? Individual control is a game changer in adjusting the temperature on room by room basis. The ultimate in zone control.

Simple Installation and Ease of Maintenance: Easier and less damaging to install than central air systems, mini splits can provide year round comfort a much lower price point. Easy to access filters make maintaining a mini split system simple and easy.

Ductwork can create health hazards: Because most ductwork is installed in areas of the house that cannot be accessed very easily, many times thinks like mold, mildew, and dust can be easily overlooked.
