Beat the Heat (and Cold): Why Mini Splits Are a Game-Changer for Your Home

When the summer heat hits hard or winter temperatures drop, you want reliable comfort in your home. That's where mini split systems come in – and we've been seeing more and more homeowners make the switch for good reason.

What Exactly Are Mini Splits?

Mini split systems, also called ductless heat pumps, are efficient heating and cooling units that don't require traditional ductwork. They consist of an outdoor compressor unit connected to one or more indoor wall unit or ceiling cassettes. Simple concept, but the benefits are huge.

Why Our Customers Love Them

• Energy Efficiency: Mini splits use significantly less energy than traditional HVAC systems. You're only heating or cooling the rooms you're actually using, which can cut your energy bills substantially.

• Zoned Comfort: Each indoor unit can be controlled independently. Want the bedroom cooler while keeping the living room comfortable? No problem.

• Year-Round Solution: These systems both heat and cool, giving you comfort in every season without needing separate equipment.

• Quiet Operation: Unlike window units or central air systems, mini splits run whisper quiet.

Real Results from Real Customers

We recently received this review that perfectly captures why mini splits are such a smart investment:

"During this heat wave, we were reflecting on how appreciative we are of the mini splits that were installed last year by Kirkland and Shaw. Not only were they competitive in price, but they were thorough and professional in the installation and maintenance of the units. They were attentive to our concerns and the desires we had to meet the design of our house. They were respectful of our property and of us while completing the job. We would highly recommend Kirkland and Shaw."

This is exactly the kind of feedback that reminds us why we do what we do. When extreme weather hits, you want to know your comfort system will deliver – and mini splits consistently do.
