Since we began installing Mitsubishi Electric's ductless mini-split systems in 2011, we have earned the title of Mitsubishi ELITE Diamond Contractor. Prior to working with Mitsubishi Electric, we installed and serviced SANYO ductless mini-splits until SANYO went out of business in 2009.
Can You Install a Mini-Split System That I Purchased on My Own?
No, we do not install mini-split systems purchased from other retailers or sources. This policy is primarily due to manufacturer warranty requirements. When you purchase a ductless system from a retailer, that retailer is responsible for honoring the warranty.
A common misconception is that the installing contractor is responsible for the warranty on installed equipment. However, this is only true if the equipment was purchased directly from that contractor.
As a responsible company, we cannot take on the obligations and potential liabilities associated with installing equipment purchased elsewhere. Our commitment to providing high-quality service and support for our customers extends to the systems we sell and install ourselves.
If you are interested in having a ductless mini-split system installed in your home or business, we encourage you to purchase the equipment directly from us. This ensures that you will receive our expert installation services, as well as our ongoing support and the full manufacturer's warranty.

What Warranties and Service Agreements Do You Offer for Mini-Split Systems?
We provide a comprehensive warranty and service agreement package for all new installations of mini-split systems:
- Labor and Installation Material Warranty: All new installations come with a one-year warranty on labor and installation materials, starting from the date of completion.
- Manufacturer's Equipment and Parts Warranty: The equipment and parts are covered by the manufacturer's policies. For Mitsubishi Electric systems installed in residential dwellings and used for residential purposes, the warranty period is 12 years. Commercial applications are covered for 10 years (specific equipment only; please call and ask for a full policy).
- 12-Year Extended Service Agreement: We offer an optional 12-year Extended Service Agreement, which is similar to an extended warranty, although some limitations apply. In summary, the 12-year Extended Service Agreement covers all necessary labor to diagnose and repair any malfunction within the equipment, while parts remain covered by the manufacturer's policy.
Our comprehensive warranty and service agreement package ensures that your mini-split system is protected and will continue to provide optimal performance for years to come. If you have any questions about our warranties or service agreements, please don't hesitate to contact us at (866) 414-4059 or click here to learn more.
What Factors Affect the Cost of a Mini-Split System?
The cost of a ductless mini-split system can vary depending on several factors:
- System size and capacity: The size of the system, measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs), will impact the cost. Larger spaces or areas with higher cooling/heating demands will require more powerful systems, which come at a higher price.
- Number of zones: Mini-split systems can be single-zone or multi-zone. Multi-zone systems, which can control temperatures in different rooms independently, will cost more than single-zone systems.
- Model and features: Mitsubishi Electric offers a range of models with various features, such as high energy efficiency ratings, advanced filtration, and smart controls. Models with more advanced features will generally cost more.
- Installation complexity: The complexity of the installation, which may be affected by factors such as the layout of your home, accessibility of the installation areas, and the need for electrical or carpentry work, can impact the overall cost.
To get an accurate estimate for a Mitsubishi Electric mini-split system that meets your specific needs, we recommend scheduling a free, no-obligation consultation with one of our experts. During the consultation, we will assess your space, discuss your requirements, and provide you with a detailed quote.

On Average, How Long Does It Take to Install a Mini-Split System?
The installation process for a mini-split system typically begins within 2 days of completing all necessary paperwork. During this time, we order, receive, and stage the specific equipment and materials required for your project. Our installation crew is also briefed on the details of your particular installation to ensure a smooth and efficient process.
In some cases, the start of the installation may be delayed due to factors such as obtaining building permits or crew availability. However, we always strive to begin the installation as promptly as possible to minimize any inconvenience to you.
Once the installation begins, the actual duration will depend on various factors, such as the size of the system, the number of zones, the layout of your home, and the accessibility of the installation areas. Single-zone systems can usually be installed within one day, while multi-zone systems may take two to three days.
Rest assured that our experienced team will work diligently to complete the installation efficiently, safely, and in compliance with all local building codes and regulations. We will also take steps to minimize disruption to your daily routine and protect your property throughout the process.
To get a more accurate estimate of the installation timeline for your specific project, we recommend scheduling a free, no-obligation consultation with one of our experts.

Is a Municipal Permit Required for Installing a Mini-Split System?
The requirement for a municipal permit when installing a mini-split system varies depending on your location and the specific regulations of your local government.
In certain areas, such as Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk Counties), Westchester, Rockland County, and New Jersey, a permit is typically necessary. In these cases, you will need to pay for the permit, but our team will handle the paperwork and obtain the permit on your behalf to ensure a smooth and compliant installation process.
However, in New York City's four boroughs, private homes usually do not require a permit for mini-split system installation. That being said, if there is an open construction permit for your property, it is advisable to file an HVAC remodel permit as well.
For condos and co-ops, permission from the building management is often required before proceeding with the installation. In some cases, the building management may also require a permit from the Department of Buildings.
To get the most accurate information regarding permit requirements for your specific situation, we recommend scheduling an appointment with one of our Product Specialists. They will be able to assess your needs, discuss the local regulations, and provide you with detailed answers to any questions you may have.

What is the Life Expectancy of a Mini Split System?
A well-maintained ductless mini-split system can last between 12 to 15 years on average. However, the life expectancy of a mini-split system depends on several factors:
User behavior: The number of hours a system operates per day or year significantly affects its lifespan. A homeowner who uses the system conservatively, turning it off when not needed, can extend its life. Conversely, running the system continuously without proper rest periods can lead to increased wear and tear.
Climate and weather conditions: Extreme temperatures during summer and winter force the system to work harder to maintain desired indoor conditions. This increased workload can accelerate wear and tear on the system's components, potentially shortening its lifespan.
Maintenance practices: Following the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule is crucial for prolonging the life of a mini-split system. Regular maintenance tasks, such as cleaning filters, coils, and other components, can prevent breakdowns and ensure optimal performance. However, many system owners neglect these maintenance requirements, which can lead to premature failure.
Installation quality: Proper installation by a qualified professional is essential for the long-term performance and durability of a mini-split system. Improper installation can lead to a host of issues that can reduce the system's life expectancy.
System size and usage: Overworking an undersized system or underutilizing an oversized one can both negatively impact its lifespan. Ensuring the correct system size for the space and its intended usage can help optimize its performance and longevity.
Investing in a ductless mini-split system is similar to buying a car. With proper care, maintenance, and usage habits, the system can provide reliable comfort for many years. Neglecting these factors can result in costly repairs and a shortened lifespan. Therefore, it is essential for homeowners to prioritize proper maintenance and usage practices to get the most value from their investment.
How often should I schedule maintenance for my mini-split system to ensure optimal performance?
egular maintenance is absolutely essential for ensuring the longevity, efficiency, and optimal performance of your ductless mini-split system. Without proper care and attention, your system can experience a range of issues that can lead to decreased performance, higher energy costs, and even premature failure.
Over time, your mini-split system can accumulate dirt, dust, and debris, which can clog filters, coils, and other critical components. This buildup restricts airflow, reduces heat transfer efficiency, and forces your system to work harder to maintain desired temperatures. As a result, your system may lose cooling or heating capacity, consume more energy, and experience increased wear and tear.
Neglecting maintenance can also lead to more serious problems, such as refrigerant leaks, compressor failures, or electrical issues. These problems can be costly to repair and may even require a complete system replacement in severe cases. Think of it as a necessary part of owning and operating your system, just like regular oil changes and tune-ups for your car.
While some homeowners may choose to perform basic maintenance tasks themselves, such as cleaning filters or wiping down indoor units, it is highly recommended to schedule professional maintenance at least once a year. Trained HVAC technicians have the knowledge, skills, and tools to thoroughly inspect, clean, and tune up your mini-split system.
Don't let a malfunctioning mini-split system disrupt your comfort! Regular maintenance is key to ensuring optimal performance, efficiency, and longevity.
Book your service appointment online today and let our skilled technicians take care of your mini-split system. We'll thoroughly inspect, clean, and tune up your unit to prevent breakdowns and keep you comfortable all year round.
What is an Extended Service Agreement and Do I Need One?
A manufacturer's warranty for a ductless system typically covers only the equipment (units) after the initial 1-year warranty period. Labor costs for repairs are not included.
An Extended Service Agreement provides additional coverage, including labor, for your ductless system units to match the duration of the manufacturer's warranty. For example, if the manufacturer's warranty is 12 years, the Extended Service Agreement will cover your system from the 2nd year until the end of the 12th year.
Benefits
- Coverage for an extended period
- Protection against unexpected repair costs, including labor
- Service by qualified technicians
Consider the length of the manufacturer's warranty, system reliability, and your budget when deciding whether to purchase an Extended Service Agreement for your ductless system.
