Frequently Asked Questions
When should I replace my mini-split instead of repairing it?
If the repair cost is more than 50% of replacement cost, the unit is 12+ years old, it uses R-22 refrigerant (no longer manufactured), or it's broken down repeatedly, replacement is usually better value.
Can I replace just the indoor unit on my mini-split?
Sometimes — but matched systems (same brand/model indoor and outdoor units) are always recommended for optimal performance and warranty coverage.
Are new mini-splits quieter than older models?
Yes — significantly. Modern mini-splits operate at 19–22 dB in quiet mode, which is barely audible.
How long does a mini-split replacement take?
Timing depends on zone count, reuse or replacement of lines and wiring, access, electrical work, equipment availability, permits, and scheduling. A project estimate can describe the anticipated sequence.
