Ductless Mini-Split Systems
Efficient comfort without ductwork. Perfect for additions, renovations, and zoned temperature control.
Ductless Comfort Solutions
Ductless mini-split systems are revolutionizing how Middle Tennessee homeowners approach comfort — whether you’re adding air conditioning to a room addition, finishing a basement, or giving renters a room with independent climate control. At Reliable Comfort Services, we’ve installed and maintained hundreds of mini-split units across Murfreesboro, Smyrna, La Vergne, and surrounding areas, helping homeowners solve cooling and heating problems that traditional central systems can’t easily address.
Our Mitsubishi Electric and LG mini-split expertise means you get a system designed for your exact space and budget, installed by certified technicians who are trained specifically on ductless systems. Mini-splits deliver powerful cooling and heating from a sleek wall-mounted indoor unit, with no ductwork, minimal installation disruption, and the flexibility to cool or heat only the spaces you use.
Why Choose Us
Ductless systems require specialized knowledge that goes beyond traditional HVAC. We’re factory-trained in both Mitsubishi Electric and LG mini-split installation, refrigerant charging, and system commissioning. This expertise ensures your unit performs at peak efficiency and your warranty stays intact.
Adding square footage without extending ductwork? A mini-split is the easiest, most cost-effective solution. We design and install single-unit or multi-zone systems that deliver independent temperature control to the spaces you’ve added, without major construction or expensive duct runs.
Our technicians hold Tennessee’s Mechanical (HVAC) and Refrigeration Contractor License, full insurance and bonding, and A- rated Better Business Bureau accreditation. Every installation meets manufacturer specs and passes rigorous quality checks.
Ductless units excel in Middle Tennessee’s climate — they cool efficiently through hot, humid summers and provide supplemental heating on cold snaps without the energy loss of traditional ductwork. You get comfort where you need it, when you need it.
No need to cut walls for ducts or modify your existing HVAC system. Mini-splits mount on a wall or ceiling, connect to a compact outdoor unit via a thin refrigerant line, and start working immediately. Faster installation means lower labor costs and less disruption to your home.
Cool or heat only the rooms you use, when you use them. Mini-splits eliminate energy waste from conditioning unused spaces and avoid the energy loss common in ducted systems. Independent zone control means maximum efficiency and lower utility bills.

Our Process
We start by understanding your specific comfort needs and the spaces you want to condition. Our technician evaluates the room size, ceiling height, insulation, window placement, sun exposure, and existing heating/cooling sources. Unlike central systems, mini-splits are designed for specific zones, so we focus on optimizing comfort for the exact areas you use most.
We also assess the best location for the outdoor compressor unit, considering noise, accessibility for maintenance, and refrigerant line routing. The goal is to design a system that delivers maximum comfort with minimal visual impact and installation disruption.
Based on your space assessment, we recommend the right capacity and features for your mini-split system. We specialize in Mitsubishi Electric and LG ductless systems, both known for efficiency, quiet operation, and reliability. We explain SEER ratings, heating capacity (HSPF), and advanced features like Wi-Fi control, sleep modes, and air filtration.
For multi-zone systems, we design the refrigerant distribution to ensure each indoor unit gets proper capacity. We also discuss financing options through Wells Fargo, TVA Financing, and Synchrony to make your investment affordable.
Before installation day, we prepare your home to ensure a smooth process. This includes confirming electrical capacity, planning refrigerant line routes through walls or attic spaces, and preparing the outdoor compressor location. We coordinate any necessary permits and ensure we have all materials and equipment ready.
We also protect your home during installation — covering floors, furniture, and landscaping near work areas. Our goal is to complete installation with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
On installation day, our certified technicians mount the indoor unit(s), install the outdoor compressor, and connect refrigerant lines using proper evacuation and charging procedures. We run electrical connections, test all safety controls, and commission the system according to manufacturer specifications. This includes verifying refrigerant charge, testing heating and cooling modes, and programming any advanced features.
Each installation is thoroughly tested before we consider the job complete. We verify temperature control, airflow patterns, noise levels, and remote control operation to ensure everything works perfectly.
Before we leave, we spend time training you on your new mini-split system. We demonstrate remote control operation, explain maintenance requirements (primarily filter cleaning), and show you how to optimize comfort and efficiency. We review warranty coverage and provide all documentation for future reference.
We also explain the importance of annual professional maintenance — refrigerant level checks, coil cleaning, and electrical testing keep your system running efficiently and extend its lifespan. Our maintenance plans make staying on schedule easy.

Answering Your Questions
A mini-split has two main parts: an outdoor compressor unit and one or more wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted indoor units connected by a thin refrigerant line. There’s no ductwork required. Each indoor unit can be controlled independently, letting you cool or heat specific rooms without air conditioning the entire house.
Yes. Mini-splits are far more efficient than window units (which lose conditioned air around the edges and have poor insulation). They’re also more efficient than central AC because there’s no energy loss through ductwork. A quality ductless system uses significantly less energy than window units and competes with or beats central AC in efficiency, especially if you only cool certain rooms.
Absolutely. Most ductless systems are heat pumps — they reverse the refrigerant cycle to extract warmth from outside air and move it indoors. They heat efficiently down to about 5°F, making them ideal for Tennessee winters. Some units have backup electric resistance heating for extreme cold, but that’s rarely needed in Middle Tennessee.
Modern ductless units are very quiet. The indoor units operate at about 22–32 decibels on low speed — quieter than a refrigerator. The outdoor compressor is louder but placed away from living spaces. Most homeowners find the noise level negligible compared to window units or older central systems.
Mini-splits typically cost less to install than extending central air to a new addition because there’s no ductwork involved. Exact pricing depends on the unit capacity, location of the outdoor compressor, and indoor unit placement, but installation is faster and less invasive, often resulting in lower total cost.
Yes. You can add a mini-split to a specific room or addition while keeping your central system for the rest of the house. Both systems can run independently or you can zone them to avoid redundancy. This is common in homes with additions or rooms that don’t get adequate cooling from the existing ducts.
With proper maintenance, a ductless system lasts 15–20 years, similar to central AC. Regular filter cleaning, annual refrigerant checks, and electrical inspections maximize efficiency and extend system life. We monitor your system and recommend replacement when efficiency begins to decline.
We specialize in Mitsubishi Electric and LG ductless systems and are an LG Pro Dealer. We also service mini-splits from Carrier, Trane, Daikin, and Fujitsu. If you own a different brand or have a preference, we can accommodate that on a case-by-case basis.
Your new ductless system can be backed by layered coverage. First, a manufacturer parts warranty of up to 10 years when the equipment is registered — we handle registration and keep your documentation. Second, because we’re an LG Pro Dealer, qualifying LG ductless systems carry a 12-year parts warranty — one of the strongest packages in the ductless category. Third, you can add an optional third-party labor warranty of up to 10 years, covering repair (labor) costs for up to a decade. Fourth, qualifying systems include No-Hassle equipment replacement on select equipment if a major component such as the compressor or coil fails.
Yes. We offer financing through Wells Fargo, TVA Financing, and Synchrony to fit your budget. A ductless system is an investment in comfort and energy savings, and flexible financing makes it accessible without upfront strain.
Monthly: clean or replace the indoor unit’s filter. Annually: have us perform a full tune-up including refrigerant level check, coil cleaning, electrical testing, and performance verification. These simple steps keep your system efficient and reliable for its entire lifespan.
Single-zone systems condition one room. Multi-zone systems can handle 2–8 rooms depending on the outdoor unit capacity and individual room loads. We design the system based on your specific needs and the layout of your home.
Most modern mini-splits include Wi-Fi connectivity and smartphone apps for remote control. You can adjust temperature, change modes, set schedules, and monitor energy usage from anywhere. We set up and demonstrate these features during installation.
Like all electric HVAC systems, mini-splits require electricity to operate. However, they use much less power than central systems, making them compatible with backup generators. Some homeowners add battery backup systems for essential cooling during outages.
