Discover the perfect cooling solution for Florida's challenging climate. Ductless mini-splits provide zoned comfort, superior efficiency, and flexible installation options ideal for room additions, sunrooms, and areas where traditional ductwork isn't practical.
Florida homes face varying sun exposure and usage patterns. Ductless systems provide individual room control, perfect for managing different cooling needs.
No ductwork means zero energy loss from leaky ducts. High-efficiency models achieve SEER ratings of 20-25+, saving 30-40% on cooling costs.
Advanced refrigeration technology in mini-splits provides excellent dehumidification, crucial for Florida's 70%+ humidity levels.
Perfect for Florida's diverse housing stock - from historic homes to modern additions where traditional ductwork is challenging or impossible.
Estimate installation costs for your Florida ductless mini-split system:
Equipment Cost: $0
Installation Cost: $0
Total Investment: $0
Annual Savings: $0
Estimates include equipment and standard installation. Actual costs vary by brand, features, and local factors.
Perfect for new bedrooms, family rooms, or home offices where extending ductwork is expensive or impractical.
Handle Florida's intense sun exposure and high heat loads that challenge central AC systems to adequately cool these spaces.
Individual control for bedrooms allows optimal sleeping temperatures without overcooling the entire house.
Separate structures benefit from independent climate control without running expensive ductwork from main house.
Historic or older Florida homes where adding ductwork would damage architecture or require extensive renovations.
Garages, attics, or basements converted to living spaces where central AC doesn't reach effectively.
Evaluate optimal indoor/outdoor unit placement, electrical requirements, and drainage considerations for Florida installations.
Calculate precise cooling loads considering Florida's heat, humidity, and sun exposure for each zone.
Mount units, run refrigerant lines, establish electrical connections, and test system operation.
Configure settings for Florida climate, program schedules, and provide operation training.
Yes, modern ductless systems are designed for tropical climates and often outperform central AC in Florida conditions. They operate efficiently at temperatures up to 115°F and provide superior dehumidification through continuous low-speed operation. Many models are specifically engineered for hot, humid climates like Florida and include corrosion-resistant coatings for coastal areas.
Florida rooms require 30-40 BTU per square foot due to high heat loads from sun exposure and humidity. A 200 sq ft sunroom needs 9,000-12,000 BTU, while a 400 sq ft room addition needs 15,000-18,000 BTU. Factor in ceiling height, insulation, windows, and sun exposure. Professional load calculations ensure optimal sizing - oversized units short-cycle and don't dehumidify effectively.
Payback periods vary by application but typically range from 3-7 years in Florida. Room additions see fastest payback (3-4 years) since the alternative is extending ductwork. Whole-house replacements take longer (5-7 years) but provide immediate comfort improvements. High efficiency models may qualify for utility rebates ($300-1,000), reducing payback time. With Florida's 10-month cooling season, savings accumulate quickly.
Yes, ductless systems work excellent with generators during Florida storms and outages. They typically use 50-70% less power than central AC systems, allowing smaller generators to provide cooling. A single-zone 12,000 BTU unit uses about 1,000-1,500 watts versus 3,000-5,000 watts for equivalent central AC capacity. This makes them ideal for emergency cooling when grid power is unavailable.
