No ductwork? No problem. Ductless mini-splits deliver efficient, zone-controlled heating and cooling exactly where you need it. DL Heating & Cooling installs and services all major brands.
☎ Call (402) 672-6062A ductless mini-split is a heating and cooling system that delivers conditioned air directly into individual rooms without using ductwork. The system consists of a small outdoor compressor unit connected to one or more indoor air-handling units mounted on the wall or ceiling. A thin conduit containing refrigerant lines, power cable, and a drain connects the outdoor and indoor units.
Mini-splits are technically heat pumps, meaning they provide both heating and cooling from a single system. They are one of the most versatile and energy-efficient HVAC solutions available for Omaha homes.
Many older Omaha homes — especially in neighborhoods like Dundee, Benson, and parts of Midtown — were built with radiator heating and have no ductwork. Installing traditional central air in these homes requires expensive and invasive duct installation. A ductless mini-split provides efficient cooling and heating without tearing into walls and ceilings.
Added a bedroom over the garage? Converted the basement into a living space? Finished the attic? These spaces often are not connected to the main HVAC system. A mini-split gives you independent temperature control in the new space without extending your existing ductwork.
If you have a room that your central system never seems to heat or cool properly, a mini-split can solve the problem by providing dedicated, zone-controlled comfort to that specific area.
A mini-split is the most cost-effective way to heat and cool a detached garage, workshop, or accessory building that has no connection to your home's HVAC system.
Sunrooms with large windows gain excessive heat in summer and lose heat rapidly in winter. A mini-split handles both extremes efficiently, turning a three-season room into a comfortable year-round space.
Mini-split installation costs depend on how many zones you need and the complexity of the installation:
Single-zone system (one room): $2,500 to $5,000 installed. This includes one outdoor unit and one indoor unit, perfect for a single room or addition.
Multi-zone system (2 to 4 rooms): $5,000 to $12,000 installed. One outdoor unit connects to multiple indoor units, each independently controlled.
Whole-home mini-split system (5+ zones): $12,000 to $20,000 installed. For homes replacing an entire HVAC system with ductless technology.
Every installation starts with a free in-home assessment where we evaluate your space, discuss your comfort goals, and provide an upfront quote with no hidden fees.
Mini-splits avoid the 20 to 30 percent energy loss that occurs in traditional ducted systems. Most mini-splits have SEER ratings of 20 or higher — compared to 13 to 16 for conventional central AC. This translates to significantly lower energy bills, especially in Omaha's extreme climate.
Each indoor unit has its own thermostat, so you can set different temperatures in different rooms. Keep the bedroom cool for sleeping while saving energy in rooms you are not using. No more fighting over the thermostat.
Mini-split indoor units operate at noise levels as low as 19 decibels — quieter than a whisper. The compressor sits outside, so there is virtually no noise inside your home.
Installation typically takes one day for a single-zone system. The only wall penetration needed is a small 3-inch hole for the conduit connecting the indoor and outdoor units. No ductwork, no major construction, minimal disruption.
We install ductless mini-split systems from all leading manufacturers including Mitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu, LG, Carrier, and Trane. We help you select the right brand and model based on your specific needs, space layout, and budget. All installations include manufacturer warranties and our satisfaction guarantee.
Ductless mini-splits need regular maintenance to run efficiently. Our maintenance service includes cleaning filters and coils, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical connections, and verifying proper drainage. We recommend professional maintenance once per year in addition to monthly filter cleaning that you can do yourself.
If your mini-split is leaking water, making noise, not heating or cooling, or showing error codes, call us at (402) 672-6062 for fast diagnosis and repair.
