Are mini-splits good for whole-home cooling?

Absolutely. A multi-zone system can deliver cooling and heating to every room in the house, often more efficiently than central AC because each zone runs only when needed.

Indoor mini-split heads are among the quietest HVAC equipment made — often quieter than a refrigerator. Outdoor units are also quiet enough to install close to bedroom windows.

How long does installation take?

A single-zone install is usually a half-day to a full day. A multi-zone whole-home install can take 2-4 days depending on the number of heads and the run lengths.
