Ductless Mini-Split in Jenison, MI

Some rooms just don't get enough heating or cooling, and running new ductwork isn't always practical or affordable. Ductless mini-split systems solve this problem cleanly — no major construction, no tearing into walls. Mazure's Heating & Air Conditioning installs ductless systems from Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, and Carrier for Jenison homeowners. Our shop is on Edward Street in Georgetown Township, and we've been doing HVAC work in this community since 1987. Call (616) 669-8085 to discuss your project.

We regularly serve homes in Georgetown Township, Baldwin Heights, Cottonwood — near Jenison High School and Rosewood Park. Our Jenison headquarters puts us right here in our home base of Jenison, which means convenient scheduling for appointments and installations.

Jenison has a mix of home styles and ages, and certain situations come up again and again where a ductless system is the right answer.

Room additions and bonus rooms are the most common. If you finished the space above your garage, added a sunroom, or converted an attic, the existing HVAC system probably doesn't reach it. Running ductwork to these spaces can cost thousands and involve opening up finished ceilings and walls. A ductless mini-split serves the same room for less money and less disruption.

Older homes without ductwork are another fit. Some of the older homes near Baldwin Heights and along 8th Avenue have hot water baseboard heat and no duct system at all. Adding central air would mean installing an entire duct network from scratch. A multi-zone ductless system provides both heating and cooling without any ductwork.

Garages and workshops are increasingly popular. Several Jenison homeowners have asked us to install single-zone mini-splits in detached garages so they can use the space year-round. A single-zone unit heats and cools a two-car garage for around $3,500-$5,500 installed.

Home offices became a priority in recent years. If your office is in a room that runs hot in summer and cold in winter — and adjusting the whole-house thermostat doesn't fix it — a ductless unit gives that room independent temperature control.

A ductless mini-split has two main components: a compressor/condenser unit that sits outside (similar to a central AC unit but smaller) and one or more indoor air handlers mounted high on the wall or ceiling. The two connect through a small bundle of refrigerant lines, power cable, and condensate drain that passes through a three-inch hole in the exterior wall.

Installation is straightforward. We mount the indoor unit, drill the wall penetration, set the outdoor unit on a pad or wall bracket, connect the refrigerant lines, charge the system, and test it. A single-zone installation typically takes one day.

Costs in Jenison break down like this: a single-zone system (one outdoor unit, one indoor head) runs $3,500 to $5,500. A multi-zone system with two to four indoor heads sharing one outdoor unit ranges from $6,000 to $15,000. The price depends on the number of zones, the capacity needed, and the brand.

Efficiency is where ductless systems really stand out. Top models from Mitsubishi reach 40 SEER2 for cooling — roughly twice as efficient as a new central AC. They also provide heat pump heating, working efficiently down to -13°F with Mitsubishi's Hyper-Heat technology. That means your ductless system heats in winter and cools in summer, year-round from one piece of equipment.

Utility rebates may apply to qualifying ductless heat pump installations. The federal tax credit for them ended after 2025.

One of the first things Jenison homeowners notice after we install a mini-split: how quiet it is. The indoor units operate at 19-32 decibels — quieter than a whisper. You'll forget it's running. The outdoor unit is also significantly quieter than a standard central AC condenser, which matters when it sits near a bedroom window or patio.

Each indoor head has its own remote control and thermostat, which means each room can be set to a different temperature. If your bedroom runs warm and you like to sleep at 66°F while the living room stays at 72°F, a multi-zone system handles that without compromise. You stop heating and cooling rooms nobody is using.

Maintenance is minimal. The indoor units have washable filters that you clean every four to six weeks — slide them out, rinse under water, let them dry, and slide them back. We recommend an annual professional check where we clean the indoor coil, verify refrigerant charge, inspect the outdoor unit, and test the electrical connections. For Jenison homeowners, that's a quick visit since our shop is around the corner.

The indoor units come in wall-mounted, ceiling cassette, and floor-mounted styles. Wall-mounted is the most common and most affordable. Ceiling cassettes are nearly invisible — just a flat panel in the ceiling with vents on four sides. We'll help you choose the style that works best for each room.
