Mini-splits and central air systems differ mainly in design and installation. Mini-splits are ductless, with individual indoor units connected to an outdoor unit, allowing room-by-room temperature control and higher energy efficiency. They’re ideal for homes without existing ductwork or for zoning specific areas. In contrast, central air systems use ducts to distribute air throughout the entire house, providing uniform cooling but often with higher energy consumption and installation complexity.

A multi-zone system connects only one outdoor unit to multiple indoor units, so it’s capable of cooling or heating multiple indoor rooms. Each indoor unit can also be individually controlled, scheduled and set to the desired room temperature.

A multi-zone system offers a wide range of indoor unit capacities and styles to suit various room sizes and designs. It allows multiple indoor units to connect to a single outdoor unit, minimizing installation space and outdoor noise. You can also easily integrate ductless units with existing duct systems.

Additionally, the system optimizes power usage by adapting to the application's power or current limit. Each indoor unit features individual controls, enabling personalized temperature settings and energy savings. This means you can heat or cool only the rooms in use, rather than the entire house.

A single zone system is perfect for heating or cooling one room, like a main bedroom, living room, or basement. In contrast, a multi-zone heat pump system includes 2 to 6 indoor units placed in different rooms, allowing you to heat or cool the entire house simultaneously while offering individual room control for added comfort and efficiency.

Depending on a retrofit or new installation, installing a Midea wall-mounted or central air system with side discharge can generally take up to a day’s work. Replacing an existing wall-mounted unit entails half a day’s work and doesn’t require any major clean-up.

We guarantee long-lasting units because we use top-quality materials. Since our heat pumps are built to last, we can offer one of the best warranty programs in the industry. You therefore benefit from a 12-year warranty on parts and compressor and 10 years on labor offered by the manufacturer for a residential installation.
