Ductless Mini-Split in Kentwood, MI

Kentwood has problem rooms. The upstairs bedrooms in East Kentwood two-stories that bake in summer. The finished basements in Cutlerville ranches that the ductwork doesn't reach. The converted garages and bonus rooms that never had heating or cooling to begin with. A ductless mini-split fixes these problems without tearing open walls to run new ductwork. Mazure's Heating & Air Conditioning installs ductless systems throughout Kentwood. Call Mike at (616) 669-8085.

We install ductless mini-splits in Kentwood homes for specific, practical reasons. Here are the most common.

Second-floor bedrooms in East Kentwood two-stories are a top complaint. Hot air rises, and in a two-story home, the second floor absorbs heat through the roof. The central AC system, with its thermostat on the first floor, reads 72°F and shuts off while the bedrooms upstairs sit at 80°F. Homeowners crank the AC down to 68°F, freezing the first floor to bring the second floor to a tolerable temperature. A mini-split in the master bedroom or a kid's room solves this without overworking the central system.

Finished basements in Cutlerville are another regular installation. A homeowner finishes the basement for a family room, office, or workout space. The original ductwork wasn't designed to serve the basement. Running new ducts means ripping open the ceiling they just installed. A wall-mounted mini-split goes in with a three-inch hole in the wall and provides independent heating and cooling.

Sunrooms, enclosed porches, and room additions across Kentwood are classic mini-split candidates. These spaces sit outside the original HVAC envelope and often rely on space heaters in winter and window units in summer.

Older Cutlerville homes without central ductwork can use multi-zone mini-splits for whole-home heating and cooling, avoiding the expense of a full duct system retrofit.

A ductless mini-split has a compact outdoor unit and one or more indoor air handlers. The outdoor unit, about the size of a small suitcase, sits on a pad or bracket beside your house. The indoor unit mounts high on the wall inside the room. A conduit about three inches in diameter passes through the wall, carrying refrigerant lines, a power cable, and a condensate drain.

Each indoor unit operates independently with its own remote control and thermostat. You set the temperature for that room without affecting the rest of your Kentwood home. The mini-split maintains the temperature you set, ramping up and down as needed rather than cycling on and off like a traditional system.

That variable-speed operation is why mini-splits are so efficient. A conventional AC unit or furnace runs at full blast until the thermostat is satisfied, then shuts off completely. A mini-split adjusts its output continuously. It uses just enough energy to maintain the set temperature. Less cycling means less wasted electricity and more consistent comfort.

Because mini-splits are heat pumps, they provide both heating and cooling. In summer, the system pulls heat out of the room and rejects it outside. In winter, it reverses and extracts heat from the outdoor air to warm the room. Modern cold-climate models from Mitsubishi and Fujitsu maintain full heating capacity at temperatures well below zero, making them reliable through Kentwood's entire winter.

A single-zone ductless mini-split installed in a Kentwood home costs $3,500 to $5,500. This includes the outdoor unit, one indoor air handler, refrigerant lines, electrical connections, and mounting hardware. Installation takes one day.

Multi-zone systems connect one outdoor unit to multiple indoor units. Two zones typically cost $6,000 to $9,000. Three or more zones range from $10,000 to $15,000, depending on the number of indoor units and the complexity of routing the line sets through your home.

For Cutlerville homeowners considering whole-home ductless as an alternative to installing ductwork, the cost of a multi-zone system is often comparable to or less than a central duct system installation, especially in older homes where duct routing is difficult.

We install Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, and Carrier ductless systems. For Kentwood's climate, we frequently recommend Mitsubishi's Hyper-Heating models, which deliver rated heating output at sub-zero temperatures. If the mini-split is serving as the primary heat source for a room, cold-climate performance matters.

Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act provide up to $2,000 for qualifying heat pump systems, and ductless mini-splits qualify. This credit can offset a meaningful portion of the cost, especially for single-zone installations.
