Setting the Gold Star Standard Since 1958

For McKinney homeowners seeking superior comfort and energy efficiency, ductless mini-split systems offer a flexible solution. Unlike traditional HVAC, mini-splits eliminate the need for ductwork, providing targeted heating and cooling to specific zones. This results in significant energy savings, as up to 30% of energy can be lost through ductwork. These systems excel in zoned comfort control, allowing independent temperature settings for different rooms, thus eliminating hot and cold spots. Their energy efficiency is further boosted by high SEER ratings and inverter-driven compressors. Mini-splits are ideal for various spaces, including older homes, additions, and garages, due to their flexible installation options and quiet operation. They also contribute to improved indoor air quality through advanced filtration. Burnside Air Conditioning & Heating provides expert installation, ensuring optimal performance and longevity. Our process includes consultation, system design, professional placement, precise connections, thorough testing, and a customer walkthrough, all backed by our commitment to quality service since 1958.

Burnside Air Conditioning & Heating provides expert mini-split installation, delivering customized comfort solutions that meet the Gold Star Standard of service we’ve upheld since 1958.

Ductless mini-splits offer a flexible and powerful way to control your home's climate. By eliminating the need for bulky ductwork, these systems provide targeted heating and cooling exactly where you need it, from a single room to your entire home.

The Advantages of a Ductless Mini-Split System for Your McKinney Home

Choosing a mini-split system means investing in advanced comfort technology. Homeowners in McKinney and across Collin County are discovering the significant benefits these systems offer, especially when dealing with the Texas heat.

  • Zoned Comfort Control: Say goodbye to thermostat wars. Mini-splits allow you to create independent temperature zones throughout your home. Cool your living room without freezing the bedroom, or heat your home office without wasting energy on empty spaces. This level of control eliminates hot and cold spots for consistent comfort.
  • Superior Energy Efficiency: Ductless systems operate without the energy loss associated with traditional ductwork, which can account for more than 30% of energy consumption. With high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings and inverter-driven compressors that adjust to your needs, mini-splits use significantly less power, leading to noticeable savings on your monthly utility bills.
  • Flexible Installation for Any Space: Because they don't require ductwork, mini-splits are the perfect solution for older homes, new additions, converted garages or attics, sunrooms, and workshops. Their compact size and simple design allow for versatile placement options.
  • Whisper-Quiet Operation: The main noise-producing component, the condenser, is located outside. The indoor air handlers are designed to operate so quietly you’ll barely notice they’re running, creating a more peaceful indoor environment than noisy window units or older central air systems.
  • Improved Indoor Air Quality: Multi-stage filtration systems in mini-split units effectively capture dust, pollen, pet dander, and other airborne contaminants. This continuous filtration helps reduce allergens and provides cleaner, healthier air for your family.

Our Gold Standard Mini-Split Installation Process

A flawless installation is critical for the performance, efficiency, and longevity of your ductless system. At Burnside, we don't just install equipment; we engineer a complete comfort solution tailored to your home. Our meticulous process ensures your system operates at peak performance from day one.

  1. In-Depth Consultation and Sizing: We begin with a thorough assessment of your home and a discussion of your specific comfort needs. Our technicians perform precise load calculations to determine the exact size (BTU capacity) required for each zone, ensuring your system is neither overworked nor underpowered.
  2. Strategic System Design: Based on the consultation, we design a system layout that optimizes airflow and efficiency. We help you choose the best locations for the indoor air handlers for effective temperature distribution and discreet placement that complements your home’s aesthetic.
  3. Professional Outdoor Unit Placement: The outdoor condenser is securely installed on a stable pad in a location that allows for proper airflow and service access while minimizing any visual or audible impact.
  4. Precise Refrigerant Line and Electrical Work: Our certified technicians carefully run a small conduit containing the refrigerant lines, power cable, and drain line through an exterior wall to connect the indoor and outdoor units. All electrical work is performed safely and to code.
  5. System Commissioning and Testing: Once connected, we perform a multi-point check to ensure the system is perfectly calibrated. This includes pressure testing, vacuuming the refrigerant lines to remove moisture, and verifying all functions are operating correctly.
  6. Comprehensive Customer Walkthrough: We don’t consider the job finished until you are completely comfortable with your new system. We’ll walk you through the controls, explain maintenance best practices, and answer any questions you have.
  7. Impeccable Clean-Up: We treat your home with the utmost respect. Our team will leave the work area cleaner than we found it, with all debris and old equipment removed.

Addressing Your Questions About Mini-Splits

It’s natural to have questions when considering a new HVAC technology. We believe in providing clear, honest information to help you make the best decision for your home.

  • What about the upfront cost? While the initial investment for a mini-split can be higher than some traditional systems, the long-term energy savings, enhanced comfort, and potential rebates often provide a significant return on investment. We offer transparent, flat-rate pricing so you know the full cost before work begins.
  • How will the indoor units look? Modern mini-split air handlers are sleek, compact, and designed to blend seamlessly with your decor. We offer various styles, including wall-mounted, ceiling cassettes, and floor-mounted units, to provide an aesthetic fit for any room.
  • Why is professional installation so important? Proper installation requires specialized tools and technical expertise in refrigerant handling and electrical connections. A professional installation by a certified technician is essential to ensure safety, maximize energy efficiency, and protect your manufacturer’s warranty.

"I am so impressed with Burnside!!! I will never even consider using anyone else. I was u def a lot of pressure and the heating system was not working correctly and they found a minor inexpensive solution. Another local vendor charged way more for a similar situation. I immediately sighed up for their annual program. God bless them."
