Ductless mini-split heat pumps are the go-to solution for Maine homes that lack central ductwork — which includes the majority of homes built before 1980. A mini-split system consists of a compact outdoor unit connected to one or more indoor wall-mounted units via small refrigerant lines. Each indoor unit provides independent temperature control for its zone, so you can heat the living room to 72°F while keeping the bedroom at 68°F. No ductwork means no duct losses (which waste 20–30% of energy in ducted systems) and no major renovation required.
Why Choose Hita for Ductless Mini-Split Systems
No Ductwork Required
Perfect for older Maine homes, additions, finished basements, and converted attics. Installation requires only a 3-inch wall penetration — no tearing open walls or ceilings.
Zone-by-Zone Control
Each indoor unit has its own thermostat and remote. Heat the rooms you use, turn down the ones you don't. This alone can save 20–30% on energy bills.
Heating AND Cooling
Mini-splits provide both heating and air conditioning in one system. Many Maine homeowners are surprised by how much they use the cooling function during increasingly warm summers.
Whisper-Quiet Operation
Indoor units operate at 19–24 dB — quieter than a library. You'll forget it's running. Outdoor units are also significantly quieter than central AC condensers.
Our Ductless Mini-Split Systems Process
Home Assessment
We evaluate which rooms need heating/cooling, measure square footage, check insulation, and determine the optimal number of zones.
System Design
We select the right outdoor unit capacity and indoor unit sizes for each zone, ensuring the system is properly matched to your home.
One-Day Installation
Most single and dual-zone systems are installed in one day. We mount indoor units, place the outdoor unit, run refrigerant lines, and connect electrical.
Zone Setup & Training
We program each zone's thermostat, set up the remote controls, and show you how to optimize settings for comfort and efficiency.
