Before investing in a ductless mini split system, here's what Colorado Springs homeowners need to know about pricing, efficiency, and performance:
Considering a ductless mini split for your Colorado Springs home? Here are answers to the most common questions about mini split installation, efficiency, and performance:
Single-zone mini split installation in Colorado Springs typically costs $3,500-$5,500 including the unit and professional installation. Multi-zone systems range from $6,000-$12,000+ depending on the number of zones, BTU capacity, and installation complexity. Winterrowd HVAC provides free estimates with transparent pricing and financing options available.
Mini splits offer significant advantages for Colorado Springs homes: no ductwork required (saving installation costs and energy losses), zone-by-zone temperature control, up to 30% energy savings compared to traditional HVAC, both heating and cooling in one system, quiet operation, and excellent performance in our climate with advanced inverter technology. They're ideal for room additions, older homes without ducts, and spaces where running ductwork is impractical.
Single-zone mini split installation typically takes 4-8 hours for a professional crew. Multi-zone systems may require 1-2 days depending on the number of indoor units and complexity of the installation. Most residential installations are completed in one day, with minimal disruption to your home.
Yes, modern mini split heat pumps provide both heating and cooling. Advanced cold-climate models perform efficiently down to -13°F, making them excellent for Colorado Springs winters. In summer, they provide powerful air conditioning. This dual functionality eliminates the need for separate heating and cooling systems.
Winterrowd HVAC installs premium mini split brands including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, LG, and Carrier. We recommend systems based on your specific needs, climate requirements, and budget. All units come with manufacturer warranties (5-12 years) and our installation guarantee.
Absolutely. Modern cold-climate mini splits, also called hyper-heat systems, maintain heating capacity even when outdoor temperatures drop below zero. They're highly efficient in Colorado Springs' climate, providing reliable heat throughout winter while using significantly less energy than electric resistance heating or older heat pumps.
The number of zones depends on your home's layout and heating/cooling needs. Single-zone systems work for individual rooms or small spaces (500-1,500 sq ft). Multi-zone systems can serve 2-8 indoor units from one outdoor compressor, ideal for whole-home comfort or targeting specific areas. Our technicians perform a free assessment to recommend the optimal configuration for your home.
Yes, mini splits are typically 25-30% more efficient than traditional central HVAC systems. They eliminate duct losses (which account for 20-30% of energy consumption), use inverter-driven compressors that adjust speed to match demand, and allow zone-specific temperature control so you're not heating or cooling unused spaces. Over time, these savings significantly offset the initial installation cost.
Mini split systems require precise installation for optimal performance and efficiency. Here's why Colorado Springs homeowners trust Winterrowd HVAC for their ductless HVAC needs:

A mini split system, also called a ductless heat pump or ductless air conditioner, is an energy-efficient HVAC solution that provides heating and cooling without requiring ductwork. This makes mini splits ideal for Colorado Springs homes without existing ducts, room additions, garage conversions, older homes, and spaces where running ductwork is impractical or cost-prohibitive.
Mini splits consist of two main components connected by refrigerant lines and electrical wiring:
Unlike traditional forced-air systems that heat or cool air centrally and distribute it through metal ductwork, mini splits deliver conditioned air directly to each zone. A small conduit (typically 3 inches in diameter) runs through your wall to connect indoor and outdoor units, carrying refrigerant lines, electrical wiring, and condensate drainage.
Modern mini split systems incorporate advanced technology for superior efficiency and performance:
Single-Zone Systems: One outdoor compressor connects to one indoor air handler. Ideal for individual rooms, room additions, garages, workshops, sunrooms, or supplemental heating/cooling in specific areas. Single-zone systems typically cost $3,500-$5,500 installed and can condition spaces from 500 to 1,500 square feet depending on BTU capacity.
Multi-Zone Systems: One outdoor compressor connects to 2-8 indoor air handlers in different rooms or zones. Perfect for whole-home heating and cooling without ductwork, or for conditioning multiple spaces with independent temperature control. Multi-zone systems cost $6,000-$12,000+ depending on the number of zones and total capacity. Each indoor unit operates independently, so you can heat the bedroom while cooling the living room, or turn off units in unused spaces to save energy.
Colorado Springs' unique climate and housing stock make mini splits an excellent HVAC solution:
Indoor air handlers come in several mounting styles to fit different spaces and aesthetic preferences:
