The Benefits of a Ductless Mini Split System for Your Plano Home

Choosing a mini split system is an investment in your home’s comfort and value. These innovative systems consist of an outdoor condenser unit connected to one or more indoor air-handling units, delivering targeted heating and cooling without the need for extensive ductwork.

Key advantages include:

  • Exceptional Energy Efficiency: By eliminating energy loss associated with ductwork, which can account for more than 30% of energy consumption, mini splits operate with remarkable efficiency. This translates directly into lower monthly utility bills, a significant benefit during Plano’s hot summers.
  • Customized Zoned Comfort: Mini splits allow you to create independent temperature zones. Cool your living room without wasting energy on an empty bedroom, or keep your home office perfectly comfortable while the rest of the house is set to a different temperature. Each indoor unit has its own thermostat for precise control.
  • Improved Indoor Air Quality: Traditional ducted systems can accumulate dust, pollen, and other allergens over time, circulating them throughout your home. Ductless systems deliver clean, filtered air directly into your living spaces, reducing airborne contaminants and creating a healthier environment for your family.
  • Quiet and Unobtrusive Operation: Both the indoor and outdoor units of a mini split system are designed for whisper-quiet operation. You can enjoy powerful heating and cooling without the disruptive noise of older, conventional HVAC systems.
  • Flexible Installation: Because they don’t require ductwork, mini splits are the perfect solution for older homes, new additions, workshops, or any space where installing traditional ducts is impractical or impossible.

Our Meticulous Mini Split Installation Process

A flawless installation is the key to unlocking the full potential of your mini split system. Our certified technicians follow a detailed, step-by-step process to ensure your new system delivers peak performance from day one. We handle every detail, including all necessary permits required in Plano, TX, for a seamless and code-compliant installation.

1. Comprehensive Home Assessment and Sizing: Our process begins with a thorough evaluation of your home. We perform professional load calculations to determine the exact heating and cooling capacity needed for your space. This critical step prevents issues caused by oversized or undersized units, ensuring efficient operation and complete comfort.

2. Expert Unit Selection and Placement Planning: We guide you through selecting the ideal system for your needs and budget from leading brands known for their reliability. We help you choose between single-zone and multi-zone configurations and discuss the best placement for indoor and outdoor units to maximize airflow, efficiency, and aesthetic appeal.

3. Precise Indoor Unit Installation: Our technicians securely mount the indoor air handlers in the pre-determined locations. We take great care to ensure they are level, stable, and positioned for optimal air distribution while remaining as discreet as possible within your room’s decor.

4. Strategic Outdoor Unit Placement: The outdoor condenser is placed on a stable, level pad in a location that allows for proper airflow and service access. We work to minimize any visual or audible impact on your outdoor living spaces.

5. Meticulous Line Set and Electrical Connection: We carefully run a small conduit containing the refrigerant lines, electrical wiring, and a condensate drain line to connect the indoor and outdoor units. This connection is sealed to be weatherproof and airtight, protecting your home’s integrity. All electrical work is performed by licensed professionals to meet the highest safety standards.

6. System Purging and Charging: Before charging the system, we perform a vacuum purge to remove all air and moisture from the refrigerant lines. This essential step prevents corrosion and mechanical failure, protecting the longevity of your compressor. The system is then charged with the precise amount of refrigerant specified by the manufacturer for maximum efficiency.

7. Final Testing and Homeowner Walkthrough: Once the installation is complete, we power on the system and conduct a series of rigorous tests to ensure every component is functioning correctly. We check for proper temperature output, airflow, and drainage. Finally, we walk you through the operation of your new system, including the remote control and any special features, so you feel confident in its use.

"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."
