New installations
Installing a mini-split starts with a walk through the house. Together you pick the rooms to heat, and the technician works out the number of indoor heads, where each hangs and how the line runs out to the compressor.
Ductless Mini-Split Heating in the Capital Region
Picture a slim unit on the wall of a cold room, linked to a small box outside, and no ductwork anywhere. That is a ductless mini-split, and 518 Heating takes calls about installing them and repairing existing ones.
A house heated by radiators may have no ducts at all, which is where ductless can fit. More than 5 in every 10 Albany homes were built before 1950, so older houses are a big part of the picture.
Mini-split service
A head that blows cool air
Sometimes the wall head keeps running and its room never gets warm, and sometimes one room is cozy while its neighbor stays chilly. The technician checks the head, the pipe link and the compressor outside.
Water at the indoor head
The wall unit drips. A technician finds the source.
Error lights or no start
Error codes flashing on the head, or a unit with no power response, point to a fault in the controls or the electrical supply. Pinpointing it is the technician’s work.
Is ductless right for your house?
Consider ductless when the house has no ductwork or a stubborn cold corner. The technician looks the rooms over and gives a frank view: mini-split, ducted heat pump, or simply repairing the setup you already own.
Houses with ducts are covered under heat pump repair and installation. More services are on the home page.
