Ductless Comfort for Every Room
Mini-splits deliver efficient heating and cooling without ductwork, which makes them the obvious answer for additions, ADUs, converted garages, and the older South Sound homes that were never built with ducts at all. They're also the fix for the one room in the house that's always wrong — too hot in summer, too cold in winter, no matter what the thermostat says.
Yes, ductless mini-splits work extremely well in the Puget Sound climate — modern heat-pump models heat efficiently well below freezing and cool in summer from the same equipment. Charlie's installs, repairs, and services ductless systems across Tacoma, Gig Harbor, and Pierce & Kitsap Counties. Call (253) 226-4565 for a free quote.

Ductless Mini-Splits — Frequently Asked Questions
Can a mini-split heat and cool a whole house?
Yes. A multi-zone system runs several indoor heads off one outdoor unit, so you control each room separately. For houses without ductwork that is usually cheaper and far less disruptive than retrofitting ducts — no soffits, no torn-open ceilings.
Are mini-splits a good fit for an ADU or a converted garage?
They're the standard answer for both. A single-zone system heats and cools the space independently of the main house, which matters for an ADU with its own occupant, and it needs one circuit and a three-inch penetration rather than a duct run.
How much maintenance does a ductless system need?
Rinse or vacuum the indoor filters every month or two — that part is genuinely a homeowner job and it makes a real difference. Beyond that, an annual visit to clean the indoor blower wheel and the outdoor coil. Ductless indoor units are more prone to visible mould growth on the blower wheel than ducted systems if the cleaning gets skipped.
Are ductless systems noisy?
Indoors they run quieter than a forced-air system — there is no duct roar and the fan is inches from you rather than in the crawlspace. The outdoor unit is comparable to any heat pump. Placement matters more than the spec sheet, which is why we walk the site before quoting.
