Can a mini split provide heat too?

Yes! Most modern mini splits are "heat pumps," providing high-efficiency heating even during our occasional Central Texas freezes.

Are they expensive to maintain?

Not at all. Maintenance usually involves a simple filter cleaning every month (which you can do yourself) and a professional check-up once a year to ensure the condensate line is clear.

How many indoor units can I have?

"Multi-zone" systems allow you to connect up to five indoor units to a single outdoor condenser, providing a whole-home solution without a single foot of ductwork.

Ductless Mini Splits in Austin, TX

Precision Comfort for the Spaces Your Central AC Can’t Reach

If you have a room that’s always five degrees too hot, or you’re planning a project that doesn’t include ductwork, a ductless mini split is the most efficient solution on the market. At McCullough Heating & Air Conditioning, we specialize in mini split installations across Austin, Georgetown, and the unique “Casita” layouts of Sun City.

What is a Mini Split?

A ductless mini split provides localized cooling and heating without the energy loss associated with traditional ductwork. It consists of a sleek indoor unit mounted on the wall (or ceiling) connected to a quiet outdoor condenser.

The result? Whisper-quiet, high-efficiency comfort exactly where you need it.

Why Homeowners are Switching to Ductless

1. True Zoned Comfort

Stop the “Thermostat Wars.” Mini splits allow you to control the temperature of a single room independently. If you want the guest room at 68° and the rest of the house at 74°, it’s as simple as pressing a button on your remote.

2. Maximum Energy Efficiency

Traditional HVAC systems can lose up to 30% of their energy through leaky or uninsulated ductwork in a hot attic. Because mini splits are ductless, that energy stays in your living space, leading to significantly lower utility bills.

3. Whisper-Quiet Operation

Unlike window units or noisy central air blowers, indoor mini split units are virtually silent—often quieter than a library. They are perfect for bedrooms, nurseries, and home recording studios.

4. Fast, Non-Invasive Installation

We can typically install a mini split in a single day. There’s no need to tear into your drywall or sacrifice closet space for new ductwork. A small 3-inch hole in the wall is all that’s required to connect the system.
