Ductless mini-split systems are revolutionizing the HVAC industry, and their popularity is soaring across the Inland Northwest. As a trusted provider of heating and cooling services, Mainstream Electric, Heating, Cooling, & Plumbing is here to guide you through the process and help you determine whether a DIY installation is the right choice for your home.

The Popularity of Ductless Systems

Mainstream has seen a significant increase in demand for ductless mini-split systems in the Spokane area. These systems offer unmatched energy efficiency, versatility, and the ability to provide customized temperature control for individual rooms or zones. With the potential to save up to 30% on energy bills, it’s no wonder that more and more homeowners are opting for ductless solutions.

Beat the Heat and Cold in the Inland Northwest

Spokane Valley experiences a wide range of temperatures throughout the year, from scorching summers to freezing winters. Ductless mini-split systems provide an efficient solution for both heating and cooling, ensuring that you stay comfortable no matter the season. Mainstream’s expert technicians are well-versed in installing and maintaining these systems to optimize their performance in the unique climate of the Inland Northwest.

Save Energy and Money with Ductless Technology

In a region where energy efficiency is a top priority, ductless mini-split systems stand out. By reducing reliance on less efficient heating methods, such as baseboard heaters or window air conditioners, these systems offer a more sustainable and cost-effective solution. Mainstream can help you explore the potential energy savings and find the perfect system for your home.

Incentives and Rebates for Spokane Valley Residents

To encourage the adoption of energy-efficient HVAC systems, local governments and utility companies often offer incentives and rebates for installing ductless mini-split systems.

Why Ductless System Installation Should Be Left to the Professionals

While the idea of a DIY installation may be tempting, it’s crucial to understand the complexities involved in installing a ductless mini-split system. Here’s why you should trust the experts at Mainstream:

Technical Complexity Requires Expertise

Proper sizing and placement of indoor and outdoor units are essential for optimal performance and efficiency. Mainstream’s experienced professionals have the knowledge and skills to determine the ideal configuration for your home. Additionally, handling refrigerants requires proper training and certification to ensure safety and prevent environmental damage.

Electrical Work Demands Licensed Professionals

Connecting a ductless system to your home’s electrical panel involves working with high voltage, which poses serious safety risks. Mainstream’s licensed electricians guarantee that the work is done safely and in compliance with local building codes and regulations. Attempting a DIY installation could lead to legal issues and compromise the safety and effectiveness of your system.

Maximizing Efficiency and Longevity with Professional Installation

To honor manufacturer warranties, professional installation is often a requirement. A DIY approach could void your warranty, leaving you unprotected against defects or issues. Mainstream’s team not only installs your system correctly but also provides ongoing maintenance and service to keep it running efficiently and extend its lifespan.

Ensuring Safety and Avoiding Costly Mistakes

Improper installation can lead to a host of problems, including poor performance, increased energy consumption, and potential safety hazards like electrical fires or refrigerant leaks. Trusting Mainstream to install your ductless mini-split system helps prevent these issues and ensures that your home remains safe and comfortable.
