Ductless Mini Split Replacement

Not all mini splits are created equal, especially when it comes to efficiency. New mini split air conditioners use far less energy than older units, particularly if you choose an ENERGY STAR rated system. Cooling efficiency is measured by SEER2, which stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, and heating efficiency is measured by HSPF2, or Heating Seasonal Performance Factor.

In layman's terms, these ratings tell you how much heating or cooling you get for the amount of electricity used. The higher the number, the less power your mini split air conditioner and heating system needs to keep your home comfortable, and the more money you save on your utility bills. If your old unit ran constantly and still didn't keep up, upgrading to a high-efficiency model will make a big difference in both comfort and cost.

Modern mini split heating systems do much more than turn on and off. Many now include Wi-Fi controls so you can adjust the temperature from your phone or smart home system, advanced multi-stage filtration that improves indoor air quality, and ultra-quiet operation that makes them a better fit for bedrooms or home offices. Some models also offer built-in humidity control. If your old system was noisy, lacked remote access, or never filtered the air well, these updated features will feel like a big upgrade.

You don't have to stick with the same brand you had before! We install and service top names like Mitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu, and LG, and each has different strengths. If your old mini split AC wasn't reliable, ran too loud, or was difficult to maintain, we can walk you through alternatives that might be a better fit for your home.

One of the biggest reasons mini splits fail early is because they weren't sized correctly to begin with. An undersized unit runs constantly without ever reaching the set temperature. An oversized one short cycles, wasting energy and wearing out faster. During your mini split heater and cooler replacement, we'll perform a full load calculation to match the unit's capacity to your home's square footage, insulation, window placement, and layout. This ensures your new system is the right size and gives you even, reliable comfort year round.

When replacing an older system, it's not always best to put the new unit exactly where the old one was. Indoor air handlers should be mounted where they won't blow directly on people, where the airflow can reach the whole room, and where maintenance is accessible. Outdoor condensers need proper clearance, shade if possible, and a solid foundation away from debris and obstructions.

Many homeowners also upgrade to multi-zone setups during replacement, allowing you to run separate mini split air conditioners in different rooms or levels of the house with independent controls. This way, you're not wasting energy cooling or heating spaces you're not using.

With the right care, most mini splits will last 12 to 15 years, and many go even longer. At Waggoners Home Services, we provide all the ductless mini split services you need in Norman and throughout our service area to make sure you get the most out of your system.
