About Our Mini Split Installation in Charlotte
Kodiak Heating and Cooling provides expert mini split installation throughout Charlotte. Ductless mini splits offer energy-efficient heating and cooling without the need for ductwork. Ideal for room additions, converted garages, sunrooms, older homes, and anywhere traditional HVAC cannot reach.
Mini split systems (also called ductless systems) consist of an outdoor compressor unit and one or more indoor air handlers. They're incredibly efficient because they eliminate the energy losses associated with ductwork. Each indoor unit can be controlled independently, giving you zone control without complex modifications. Our NATE-certified technicians expertly install single-zone and multi-zone mini split systems from top brands like Mitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu, and LG.

Common Questions
Mini Split Installation FAQ
Everything Charlotte homeowners need to know about mini split installation
How much does mini split installation cost in Charlotte?
Single-zone mini split installation costs $4,000-$7,000 in Charlotte including equipment and labor. Multi-zone systems (2-4 zones) run $8,000-$15,000+. Costs vary by brand, efficiency rating, and installation complexity. Free estimates, transparent pricing. Financing from $45/month.
What is a ductless mini split system?
Mini splits are heating and cooling systems without ductwork. An outdoor compressor connects to indoor wall-mounted units via refrigerant lines. Each indoor unit controls one zone independently. Perfect for Charlotte homes with no ducts, additions, or problem rooms.
Are mini splits good for Charlotte's climate?
Excellent! Mini splits are highly efficient heat pumps ideal for Charlotte's hot summers and mild winters. Modern units work well even when temperatures drop below 25°F. They provide both heating and cooling in one system with up to 30 SEER efficiency.
How many indoor units do I need?
One indoor unit per room or zone you want to control independently. Common setups: 1 unit for a single room (addition, sunroom), 2-3 units for multi-room areas, 4-5 units for whole-home replacement. We size based on your specific needs.
How long does mini split installation take?
Single-zone installation takes 4-6 hours (one day). Multi-zone systems take 1-2 days depending on number of units. Installation is minimally invasive—just a 3-inch hole for refrigerant lines. Much faster than installing ductwork.
Do mini splits require ductwork?
No! That's the main advantage. Mini splits connect via small refrigerant lines through a 3-inch wall hole. Perfect for Charlotte homes with no ductwork, older homes, additions, converted garages, and sunrooms where adding ducts is impractical.
What brands of mini splits do you install?
We install premium brands: Mitsubishi (industry leader), Daikin, Fujitsu, LG, and Carrier. Mitsubishi offers the best cold-weather performance and reliability. We recommend based on your needs and budget, not profit margins.
Are mini splits more efficient than central AC?
Yes! Mini splits reach 20-30+ SEER vs 14-20 SEER for most central systems. No duct losses (20-40% of central AC efficiency). Zone control prevents wasting energy on empty rooms. Charlotte homeowners typically save 25-40% on cooling costs.
Can mini splits heat and cool?
Absolutely! Mini splits are heat pumps providing both heating and cooling. They're more efficient than electric heat and work great for Charlotte's mild winters. Modern units heat effectively down to 5°F—more than adequate for our climate.
Where should indoor units be installed?
High on the wall (6-7 feet up) for optimal air distribution. We consider room layout, furniture placement, sun exposure, and aesthetics. Proper placement maximizes comfort and efficiency. We'll show you options during your free consultation.
How loud are mini split systems?
Whisper quiet! Indoor units run at 19-32 decibels—quieter than a library. Outdoor units are 50-60 decibels. Much quieter than window AC units. Mini splits are popular in bedrooms because they're so silent.
Do mini splits require permits in Charlotte?
Yes, electrical permits are typically required for mini split installation in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. We handle all permitting and inspections—included in our pricing. Some companies skip permits to save money—risky and against code.
Can mini splits replace my central HVAC system?
Yes! Multi-zone mini splits can replace central HVAC for whole-home heating and cooling. This is common in Charlotte for homes with old, failing ductwork. Typical 3-4 bedroom home needs 3-5 zones. Cost is similar to new central system plus ductwork.
What warranty comes with mini split installation?
We provide a 2-year labor warranty and 10-year equipment warranty on all mini split installations. We register all warranties and provide lifetime support. Quality mini splits last 15-20+ years with proper maintenance.
Why choose Kodiak for mini split installation?
We're factory-trained on Mitsubishi and other premium brands. As a family-owned company, we recommend the right system for your needs—not the most expensive. Proper sizing and installation is critical for mini split performance. We get it right.
