Ductless Mini-Split Installation & Repair

Ductless Mini-Split Installation in Framingham, Massachusetts

A lot of homes around Framingham were never built with central air. A ductless mini-split is usually the fastest, least invasive way to add real cooling — and, with a heat pump model, efficient heating too.

Cooling and Heating Without Ductwork

Seventy-seven percent of Framingham’s housing stock was built before 1980, and the single largest share — 21 percent — went up in the 1950s, during the postwar boom that filled the city with single-story ranches and Capes. Homes from that era were built around radiator or baseboard heat, not central air. Retrofitting full ductwork into a house like that usually means tearing into walls and ceilings. A mini-split doesn’t — one small line set through an exterior wall connects an outdoor compressor to one or more indoor units.
