Ductless Mini-Split Systems: The Energy-Efficient Solution for Your Home

Ductless mini-splits, a type of heat pump system, offer incredible savings on energy consumption, convenience, comfort, and even air quality benefits. Whether you already have a mini-split system you would like to maintain or want one installed, you will want a team on your side that you can count on to do it all correctly.

You want to work with Tanous Heating and Cooling for your ductless split system needs in the Hoboken area. We can help you choose, install, maintain, and repair these systems, so they’re always running efficiently, providing exceptional heating and cooling no matter the season.

What is a Ductless Mini-Split System?

A ductless mini-split system, also known as a ductless mini-split heat pump, is a heating and cooling system comprising two main components: an outdoor compressor-condenser unit and an indoor air handler. The indoor air handler is usually mounted flush to the wall, and depending on your system, the outdoor compressor unit can power up to eight air-handling units throughout your home. Each indoor unit has its thermostat, allowing you to adjust the temperature from room to room, and you can customize its use to suit your indoor air needs and energy costs.

Benefits of Ductless Mini-Split Systems

Energy Efficiency: For many homeowners, the primary reason they choose a ductless mini-split system is its energy efficiency. Ductless systems allow you to adjust the temperature from room to room or turn selectively used units only when you're in the room. This flexibility can significantly reduce your utility bills since your system consumes less energy around the clock.
Temperature Control: Ductless systems allow you to control the temperature in each room precisely. If you need your bedroom set to precisely 67 degrees and you don't want to cool the entire house to that temperature, a ductless mini-split can do that. It also cools quickly, lowering to the ideal temperature in as little as 5 minutes.
Noise Reduction: Another reason ductless systems are ideal for your home, especially your bedroom, is their quietness. Traditional air conditioning systems are loud and distracting. Concentrating or sleeping in a room when an air conditioner is on can be difficult. Ductless mini-split units run quietly because most of their operating parts are on the exterior of your home.

Are There Any Disadvantages to Ductless Mini-Split Systems?

Upfront Costs: While ductless units are easier to install than traditional HVAC systems, the initial costs are generally high. Installing a ductless mini-split system in your home could cost thousands of dollars. However, during a consultation with our Tanous Heating and Cooling technicians, we can help you evaluate your energy use and budget limits to decide if installing a ductless system is a good investment. We offer financing and money-saving options to help you get the air conditioning and heating system that fits your needs.
Regular Maintenance: No matter what type of HVAC system you have, it is vital to maintain regular service and cleaning. Ductless mini-split air conditioners require even more special attention because of their unique design. The fans inside the ductless system cannot handle any build-up of debris or dust. To ensure the system is working optimally, you must wash the filter at least once a month. If you smoke or have pets that shed, you may need to clean the filter more often. It is also vital to have seasonal tune-ups. One of our Tanous Heating and Cooling technicians will evaluate the ductless unit, checking all the electrical and mechanical components and ensuring that everything performs at the top.
Aesthetics: Though aesthetics may not be a primary concern for the installation, ductless mini-split systems have a classic look, usually white or beige. They may not blend with specific interior decors, so you should consider that if aesthetics are important to you. You cannot cover the units, so you cannot hide them behind curtains or architectural elements.

Ductless Mini-Split Installation and Repair

At Tanous Heating and Cooling, we offer a wide range of heating, air conditioning, and ventilation services, including installation, regular maintenance, repair, and replacement. We understand that every homeowner's needs are unique, so we provide personalized recommendations to help you choose the best ductless system for your home.

Maintenance and Seasonal Tune-Ups: Regular maintenance not only keeps your ductless system running smoothly; it also saves hundreds, even thousands of dollars in breakdown and repair costs, as well as help to maintain the warranties on the system.
Repairs: Breakdowns happen, and our Tanous Heating and Cooling experts are ready to offer the best solutions to repair and restore your system. We will assess and diagnose your system's problems and use our training and expertise to get your system back in working order.
Replacement and New Installation: If repair is impossible, our Tanous Heating and Cooling team can help you upgrade to a new system, such as a Mini-Split heat pump.

While ductless mini-splits are marketed as do-it-yourself-friendly, installing your ductless system yourself could void the manufacturer's warranty. It's best to leave the job to professionals like us at Tanous Heating and Cooling, who have the experience and knowledge to install the system safely and correctly.

Given our unit was 11 years old, they recommended we replace instead of attempting to... repair. Within a few days, Carlos came out to site and replaced our old water heater. The entire process took about 3 hours (including hauling the units up/down 5 flights of stairs) and everything is now working great!

The entire process was handled smoothly from choosing the hvac parameters to billing.Installation was done by Camilo and Carlos. They explained the steps and tested it with me and also cleaned up. Great guys. Installation was done relatively quick within 4 hours. Will not hesitate to reach out to them for any hvac queries.

I had a great experience with Tanous. My furnace died and Johan and Luis came in to replace it. They were efficient, thorough, and explained what had broken and what I could do to make the furnace last longer. They also brought their own slippers to wear inside the house so they wouldn't track mud, which I really appreciated. Highly recommended.

I have had nothing but positive experiences with Tanous. I have been using them for maintenance on my HVAC units for a few years and recently needed to replace two of the units in my apartment. Chris, who handles communication and logistics is organized, quick to respond and very friendly. The technicians who have all come for maintenance have been excellent and Johan was perfect in removing my old units and installing the new ones. Will absolutely continue to use Tanous for my maintenance and any other HVAC needs. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Tanous HVAC did an outstanding job with a complex AC minisplit installation in three apartments. Mike runs a great company with top-notch technicians like Johan Luis and Tony. They managed the installation expertly, ensuring everything was thorough, clean, and efficient. I'm thoroughly impressed and will definitely turn to Tanous HVAC for any future HVAC needs.

Tanous replaced our 15yr old furnace + A/C system last year. Owner came out to do the estimate. I got 2 other estimates and Tanous was the most reasonable. They were able to assemble & install the rooftop A/C unit without needing a crane which was great. It was a replacement system and so installation was straightforward and took 1 day and they hauled away the old system.10 months after the install (2wks ago), the furnace suddenly stopped working. I texted Tanous and they responded right away and fixed the issue, without charge, immediately.

I’ve had the fortune to learn about Tanous 6 years ago from a neighbor who used them to replace an entire HVAC system. Since then, I’ve used Tanous multiple times to resolve HVAC issues in my condos, ranging from small lowrise buildings with in-unit central HVACs to a large high-rise building with geothermal heat pumps.Just last week, 2 condos’ HVACs stopped blowing heat and Chris at Tanous scheduled their technician Jonny to come diagnose the problem the very next day. Jonny identified the malfunctions: the expansion valve in the Trane commercial heat pump in my high-rise condo and the gas valve in the residential Goodman unit in my low-rise. With the Trane, being a commercial unit, parts are difficult to obtain yet Jonny was able to order one and come back on Monday President’s day. To my delight, upon dismantling the unit Jonny found he could instead replace and repair a small part of, instead of replacing the entire, expansion valve. That cut the cost in half, and I only found out then that Jonny had suspected a possible repair and brought the small part with him just in case. For the Goodman unit, Jonny took the same approach – instead of immediately replacing the gas valve he managed to fix it, and again halved the cost of a complete replacement. Finally Jonny gave me great advice on the age of both units, their expected end-of-life and how I should consider the consequences between proactive, preventative replacements vs wait until further break-downs.This honesty, integrity and advice are exceedingly rare these days, and is why I am lucky to have found Tanous and people like Jonny and Chris who make up that great team.

I am amazed by customer service provided by Tanous. I hire some garbage plumber to install my Navien Tankless water heater. He created a big mess and installed improperly. Mike the owner called me and met and was so kind and sent his employees very next day and took care of everything in less than 5 hours. I am so thankful for a business that is more than a business. Mike genuinely cares about people and not the money.

We hired Tanous Heating & Cooling to install a new A/C unit in our Hoboken Condo. Our experience with this company has been wonderful. They offered us competitive pricing, and outstanding service especially regarding the follow ups they made. Clearly they are committed to provide the highest level of service! Their customer service is very prompt and attentive even during the peak of last summer’s heat! Thank You!

I highly recommend this HVAC service company to ALL local Hoboken residents. My heating system stoped working during holidays, one company asked me $10k to replace the entire unit. However the owner Michael and his team stopped by and fixed the issue immediately.They are not only professional but also very friendly. The price is super reasonable compared to other companies. They saved me $10k as I didn’t need to replace the unit at all. Thanks!!

I've worked with Tanous on a couple of HVAC projects in our home and they've been great! They're very responsive and their bids have always been reasonable (they've also never tried to up-charge after the fact and even done minor follow on work at no cost). I also appreciate their flexibility/creativity that comes with trying to make things work in small urban spaces. They've been able to make some changes to our HVAC that have given us more usable space in/around our home which is really valuable when space is at a premium. I would definitely recommend them!

when my a/c units went down, i was really concerned how they were going to get them to the roof. prospects weren't good and weren't going to be cheap. Tanous came in beat everyone's price and didn't have an issue getting the units on the roof or with the tight spaces in my attic. we were fortunate and now i have a/c again. thank you.

Tanous HVAC helped me think through my needs and gave multiple clear options after my old HVAC unit stopped working. I could trust that they weren’t trying to push the more expensive route necessarily but help me have a good understanding of what I can do. Their team patiently troubleshooted unforeseen challenges on the installation day as well. I’d highly recommend their services.

Very hard to call in to make appointment, pricing is at least 1.5-2x vs competitors. The silver lining is Tech is courteous and on-time.Would not recommend unless your building has a contract with them on lower pricing.

Tanous handled a full HVAC system replacement at my home in Hoboken. The owner personally came out to do the initial assessment and had a quote over to me in under 24 hours. The work started less than a week later. The crew was on time, worked efficiently, kept me posted throughout, and worked carefully to avoid making a mess. Everything about their service is top notch and professional. Not to mention the quote was significantly less expensive than the other two quotes I received while shopping around.

Lucero Quintal

This hvac service did not show up to our apartment for an appointment twice. We had to make work arrangements to accommodate our appointment with them and they didn’t show up both times without letting us know. This is very frustrating.

I recommend TANOUS for all your Heating and Air Conditioning needs. The Owner Mike and his team are hands on and work with you every step of the way to get any project you need done efficiently and resolved in the best way possible. I had a major project to do involving a roof top commercial AC unit replacement on a busy Main Street, which called for a street closure and crane. All the companies I reached out to refused to even take on the job due to its complexity, but Mike took it on and exceeded my expectations. He even quoted me less than some of the companies that refused the job at the end. I've now used TANOUS in projects both Residential & Commercial and could not be happier. Great Company and Great Service... Thanks

I would highly recommend them to anyone for any HVAC needs. Thanks again, Tanous!!

When our AC failed in the height of summer in Hoboken we contacted a few vendors. We were given a wide range of prices and delivery dates. We contacted Tanous based on a recommendation and their quote, choice of equipment and warranty was extremely competitive. They showed up on time, were professional and courteous and when we hit an issue with the installation, we were able to quickly resolve it with Mike the owner. They charged exactly what they quoted. Everything you should expect from a vendor but these days hard to find.

I am writing this review because I am extremely satisfied with the service Tanous has provided. I wanted to have AC installed in my home, I had window units and over the summer it got too hot.I had 4 companies visit my home, all of them offered various solution to my needs, all of them sounded complicated, expensive and not what I wanted. Then a good friend of mine recommended Tanous to me, he had used them and was extremely happy, so I thought I'll give them a try. After a couple of days Michael the owner of the company came to my home, and he immediately offered me a smart and reasonable solution, with a superior product at a better price than the other 4 companies from before. I could also tell that Michael was very knowledgable in the field and trustworthy. The coming week they installed my system, they did a great job communicating throughout, the installation was clean, and professional, the technicians were considerate and cleaned everything after themselves, they offered good solutions to cosmetic challenges that came up, and everything was completed to my 100% satisfaction, I will most defiantly use Tanous again for whatever comes up.By far the best experience I had with any sort of professional service/contractor throughout my home ownership.

ABSOLUTELY STAND UP GUYS! Mike has helped me out on 2 occasions one being a complex heating base board, boiler and thermostat install right before the winter and another with maintenance of my AC in spring. At both times i was desperate and both times Mike and team came through. The heating services mentioned were performed perfectly only to find a defective boiler owing to a manufacturer defect. Mike rectified it by getting a boiler out of pocket. The second time he helped me out was right before my child was due. I texted him and asked his help and in-spite of a busy schedule he sent someone over. Great guys and don’t even think of going to someone else

Tanous installed a new HVAC system for us and removed our old one. Throughout the quick process, we found them to be helpful, responsive, and very competent.

Kris was particularly polite and patient and thoroughly answered all questions we had. Five star rating, highly recommended!!!

We recently went through a full gut renovation of our condo. We have dealt with so many contractors that it's hard to keep track anymore and our experiences have been less than pleasant. Tanous HVAC came in and completely changed the game. Mike and his employees are incredibly professional, they have fair prices, they do quality work, and were a pleasure to deal with. They installed 3 ductless mini-split units in our condo. Gave us the best price out of anybody, showed up on the promised date, and got it done in the promised timeframe. I would highly recommend them and will keep using them for maintenance and any future projects.

Mike the Owner is fantastic to work with and his team of his employees have been well trained. I had a water leak in my garage closet where my heating equipment & water heaters are housed. Mike quickly came by to access the damage. We immediately realized the current system was outdated and damaged from the water leak. Mike simply educated me on what he was seeing and didn't push me in any specific direction.We collectively came to the conclusion that doing it right now would save me many headaches down the road.Mike's Team installed new equipment and did a great job with the entire process. They moved quickly to get me back up and running but did not overlook the finite details. Now I have brand new furnaces and new tankless water heaters - good for the next 20+ years. Tanous helped me increase the value of my home at a fair price. I highly recommend using this company for any of your HVAC needs.

I have been a customer of Tanous heating for several years now. As a multi family owner in Union City I struggled to find a reliable HVAC company that could be responsive to my tenants needs for efficient and effective HVAC repairs. I was thrilled to get connected with the Tanous team, Alex and Kris, and the entire company, have wildly exceeded my expectations of customer service! I have used them for seasonal maintenance, break fix repairs and new installations. I highly recommend them to both personal homeowners and commercial operations.
