For home and business owners looking for a cost-effective way to replace inefficient window air conditioning units, space heaters, and electric baseboard heaters, there’s a solution: Ductless mini-split systems.

Brooklyn-based Mr. Air NYC specializes in Mitsubishi electric ductless mini split heat pump installations for home additions, new construction, houses, and apartments.

But Mr. Air NYC does more than that: They can handle all the permitting required, including Landmarks and mechanical filing for the installation. And their work is backed by service and installation guarantees.

The advantages of an electric ductless system include:

• Energy efficient: Ductless mini-split systems allow homeowners to create “zones” in their home, which means they no longer have to cool or heat rooms that aren’t occupied.
• Quiet: Using vibration dampeners, these units are quieter than a human whisper.
• Minimum maintenance: With traditional HVAC systems, air ducts must be professionally cleaned on a regular basis. Ductless units have washable filters you can clean and replace regularly.
• Space saving: Units can be wall mounted or ceiling cassette. They save lots of space by not having ductwork.
• Quick and easy installation while living in your apartment or house: Mini-split systems run on small pipes that require only a three-inch hole — no need to rebuild walls or ceilings around ductwork, and you can stay in your home during the process.
• Save money: With utility costs increasing, monthly bills can climb quickly when a home’s temperature relies on an inefficient system. Mini-split heating and air conditioning systems operate on less power – they are smaller than traditional forced-air systems.
• Adaptable: Ductless mini-split systems can even be fit for buildings that currently use ducted forced-air systems.
• Eco-friendly: These systems take advantage of advances in chemistry to reduce effects on the environment. The refrigerant, called R410A, is known for its zero-ozone depletion potential.
• Cleaner, healthier air: These systems capture odors, allergens, bacteria, and other contaminants that affect air quality.

To improve temperature control in specific rooms, Mr. Air NYC has also done many installations in townhouse and brownstones where they’ve installed mixed equipment — many clients prefer ducted units in the hallway and bathroom areas.

“The good thing is that Mitsubishi equipment is very flexible,” said George Wong, managing director of Mr. Air NYC. “You don’t need to choose one or another, it could be both.”
