Durastar Mini Split Installation at a Racine Multi-Unit Home

A lot of older multi-unit homes in Racine simply weren't built with central air in mind. No ductwork, no existing system - just rooms that get uncomfortable fast when the weather turns. That's exactly the situation we walked into on this job, and a mini split was the right call from the start.

We went with a Durastar system for this one. It's a solid unit - efficient, quiet, and built to handle both heating and cooling without taking up a ton of space. The outdoor condenser sits on a pad right against the foundation, and the line set runs clean up the exterior wall to the disconnect box. Nothing sloppy, nothing cut short.

Mini splits make a lot of sense for homes like this. No ductwork means no major renovation headaches, and each unit can be controlled independently - which matters a lot in a multi-unit setup where different residents have different needs. The system also runs quietly enough that it's easy to forget it's even there.

Installation like this isn't just about bolting equipment to a wall. Getting the line set routed right, making sure the electrical is set up properly, and placing the outdoor unit in a spot where it can do its job without being in the way - all of that matters. We take that stuff seriously on every job we do in Racine.

If you've got a space - whether it's a rental unit, a room addition, or a home without existing ductwork - that just isn't getting the heating and cooling it needs, a mini split is worth a serious look. We handle the full installation and can keep it running year after year with regular maintenance too.
