How Does a Mini-Split System Work?

A mini-split system consists of an outdoor condenser and one or more indoor air-handling units, connected by a small refrigerant line. These systems transfer heat between the inside and outside of your home, providing both heating and cooling without the need for ductwork. Each indoor unit operates independently, allowing for customized temperature control in different rooms.

Where Is the Best Place to Install a Mini-Split Unit?

The ideal placement for a mini-split indoor unit is on an exterior-facing wall, high on the wall, and away from direct sunlight or obstructions. Proper positioning ensures even airflow and efficient operation. A professional installer will assess your space to determine the best location for maximum comfort and performance.

Do Mini-Splits Work Well in Cold Climates?

Yes, many modern mini-split systems are designed to provide efficient heating even in cold temperatures. Some models include heat pump technology that works effectively in freezing conditions, making them a great option for Buffalo winters. Choosing a cold-climate mini-split ensures reliable performance year-round.

How Long Does It Take to Install a Mini-Split System?

A single-zone mini-split installation typically takes one day, while multi-zone systems may require additional time. The process includes mounting the indoor unit, installing the outdoor condenser, and connecting the refrigerant lines. A professional installation ensures the system is set up correctly for optimal efficiency.

Are Mini-Splits More Energy-Efficient Than Traditional HVAC Systems?

Yes, mini-splits are often more energy-efficient because they eliminate duct losses and use inverter technology to adjust output based on demand. This means they only use the necessary amount of energy to maintain the desired temperature. Their zoned cooling and heating capabilities also prevent unnecessary energy use in unoccupied rooms.

Can a Mini-Split System Cool and Heat Multiple Rooms?

Multi-zone mini-split systems allow you to connect multiple indoor units to one outdoor condenser, providing temperature control for different rooms. Each zone can be set to a different temperature, giving you personalized comfort throughout your home. This makes them a great solution for homes with varying heating and cooling needs.

What Kind of Maintenance Does a Mini-Split System Need?

Regular maintenance includes cleaning or replacing filters, checking refrigerant levels, and keeping the outdoor unit free of debris. Indoor units should also be wiped down periodically to prevent dust buildup. Professional tune-ups help maintain efficiency and extend the lifespan of the system.

Is a Mini-Split System a Good Investment for My Home?

If you’re looking for an efficient, flexible, and cost-effective heating and cooling solution, a mini-split system is a great investment. These systems provide zoned temperature control, lower energy bills, and improved indoor air quality. They’re especially beneficial for older homes, additions, or areas where ductwork isn’t practical.

We were told that they have Zero percent financing, what we were not told is there is a fee attached to the Zero financing. So, after receiving our paperwork I noticed this charge, and when I called Roy’s, I was told to call the bank it’s a bank fee. UPDATE ON 11.17.25 I spoke with Mike at Roy's about our above concern, he was very professional, understanding, I was so please on how they handled our concern, that we are changing our review from one star to a 5 STAR RATING. it's rare that a company stands behind their word like Roy's did., I highly recommend them.

Highly recommend. They are very knowledgeable, honest and transparent. Roger. P came over super professional and experienced technician took him less than ten minutes to figure out the whole system without a sweat. He explain to me the diagnostic in a very simple way. Although it's a very old system they didn't force me to replace the system. When the time comes, I will definitely replace my heating system with roy's.
