About
What is a Mini Split Ductless System ?
A mini split ductless heating and cooling system is a type of HVAC system that does not require ductwork to cool or heat your home. Unlike traditional HVAC systems, which use ducts to distribute air, mini split ductless systems use an outdoor unit and one or more indoor units to deliver air directly to specific areas in your home.
Mini Split Ductless System
How It Works
The indoor units are usually mounted on walls or ceilings and are connected to the outdoor unit by a small conduit that contains a power cable, refrigerant tubing, and a condensate drain. The outdoor unit houses the compressor, which is responsible for pumping the refrigerant through the system.
Control the temperature in each room independently
The mini split ductless heating and cooling system has a thermostat that allows you to control the temperature in each room independently. This means that you can choose which rooms to heat or cool, making it a cost-effective solution for homeowners who want to save on energy bills.

Let’s dive in!
1. Energy Efficiency
Mini split ductless heating and cooling systems are more energy-efficient than traditional HVAC systems. This is because they do not require ductwork, which can lead to energy loss due to leaks and poor insulation. Additionally, the ability to control the temperature in each room independently means that you can avoid heating or cooling rooms that are not in use, saving you money on energy bills.
- Easy Installation
The installation process for mini split ductless heating and cooling systems is straightforward and does not require extensive construction work. Unlike traditional HVAC systems that require ductwork installation, mini split ductless systems only require a small conduit to connect the indoor and outdoor units. This means that you can have the system installed quickly and with minimal disruption to your home.
- Versatility
Mini split ductless heating and cooling systems are versatile and can be used in a variety of settings, including homes, offices, and commercial buildings. They are also suitable for areas where traditional HVAC systems are not feasible, such as historic homes or buildings with limited space for ductwork installation.

What Customers Are Saying
J.J. Roberson25/04/2023Very friendly staff. Installation was fast. Very helpful in showing me how the new system works.
Brian Wiese25/04/2023Thoroughly impressed and so glad we went with Glendale Heating & Air — professional, capable, and efficient with the best customer experience so far. (Will update post install) I have been working with Debra to coordinate our furnace update (30+ yrs old Lennox originally installed by Glendale and running great!) and heat pump install… as well as additional air return, air quality monitor and custom filtering solution. She has been extremely responsive, professional and efficient with my time, needs and budget. All other on-site quotes I got took 2-3 hours of my time with a pressure to commit to a $17-30k purchase and disastrous follow-ups (even from “A” rated companies)… while Debra was knowledge, provided great advice, was in and out in under 30 minutes and emailed me a detailed estimate the next day! I just wish all businesses could be so professional, personable, efficient and cost effective as Glendale! It’s the professional & hustle service I learned in my youth in construction with my father, still do today, and appreciate from others.
Mike Lawson19/04/2023We've used Glendale for 26 years and have had no issue with scheduling maintenance, emergency services nor pricing.
barry pritchard19/04/2023They were prompt, gave me multiple options. Installation went without issue. Furnace works great!
Mike Hoag15/04/2023Glendale team was great. Responsive, gave us equipment and price options, had the equipment we wanted, competent and professional installation crew. A+ from start to finish.
Sean Dittmore15/04/2023Great service as always. Going the extra mile.
Guy Daniels23/02/2023Glendale Heating was just great! Our 50+ year-old gas furnace finally bit the dust and left us with no heat in January. Glendale responded quickly with a reasonable estimate. No up-selling, no issues. A replacement furnace needed. Luckily the weather cooperated and space heaters kept us comfortable until the installation team came. They were very efficient, making their way through our messy, unfinished basement in our 100+ year old house. They arrived at 9am and our new furnace was up and running at 4pm when they left. It's been about a month ago now and everything works perfectly. I just can't say enough good things about Glendale Heating. Fair price. Pleasant, happy, professional installers doing great work.
Linda Hilbert22/02/2023Seamless service from office to estimate to furnace installation. Staff was courteous, knowledgeable and professional.
amy21/02/2023We purchased our home in Kent back in 2019 and really wanted to have AC installed after the large heat waves that hit Washington the last few summers. We got 3 quotes and Glendale was priced right in the middle of their competitors and seemed very knowledgeable when giving the quote. They were also the company listed on my furnace, and that has been running like a champ for 23 years so figure they do good work! And since they were already doing the AC, I asked them to replace the furnace anyways just since it was getting old and they were already here. I was not disappointed. Riley and Ray did great clean work on the two day job. They communicated every step of the way and asked questions on my preferences. They were by the books, pulling needed permits, etc to do the job right. I highly recommend Glendale heating!
