Cooling for the houses that never had ducts
St. George Victorians. Stapleton row houses. The bedroom over the garage that's an oven every July. A ductless mini split heats and cools rooms like these without tearing open a single wall.
Why mini splits, why here
Built for Staten Island's older housing
A big share of the borough's homes — the pre-war stock around St. George, Stapleton, and West Brighton, and thousands of smaller-roomed houses island-wide — were built around radiators, not air ducts. Retrofitting ductwork into those houses means ripped ceilings, lost closets, and a bill that makes no sense. A mini split skips all of it: a slim outdoor unit, one or more quiet indoor heads, and a three-inch hole in the wall between them.
Modern cold-climate units heat too, well below zero. For an addition, a converted attic, or a whole house done room by room, one system covers January and July both.
Where they earn their keep
- Row houses and semi-attached homes with steam or hot-water heat and no ducts
- Additions and dormers — like the 2,000 sq ft addition a customer hired us to condition, crew led by our foreman John
- Attic bedrooms and rooms over garages that window units never tame
- Sunrooms, basements, and home offices that need their own zone
- Houses replacing loud, dripping window ACs once and for all
The rebate conversation
Con Edison's NYS Clean Heat program pays real rebates on qualifying air-source heat pump installations, and mini splits are exactly that. The amounts depend on your equipment, your electric service, and program rules that shift year to year — so instead of printing a number here that goes stale, we price the rebate into your free written estimate and show you the current math.
Repairs too
Already have a mini split another company installed and abandoned? We service and repair ductless systems across the Island — refrigerant, boards, blower wheels, and the drain-line clogs that cause most "it's leaking down my wall" calls.
