 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our local church has dealt with Viar Bros for over 20 years, we had our system vandalized 3 times since January 2025. Viar has repaired and replaced the Freon each time and have always changed us a fair price. A couple of years ago we had them replace our heating system they did and awesome job quickly and efficiently. If you need an HVAC Tech give these folks a call.

Frequently Asked Questions

Discover how ductless mini-splits can solve your home comfort challenges. Find quick answers below about installation timelines, energy efficiency, and routine system care. For personalized assistance with an upcoming home comfort project, contact our team today.

What is a mini-split system, and how does it work?

A mini-split (or ductless) system provides heating and cooling to specific rooms without using traditional air ducts. It consists of a compact outdoor compressor unit connected to one or more sleek indoor air handlers via small refrigerant lines, allowing you to control temperatures individually by zone.

Can a mini-split heat my home in the winter, or is it just for AC?

Yes, modern mini-split systems are highly efficient heat pumps designed to provide both powerful air conditioning in the summer and reliable heating in the winter. Many models feature advanced cold-climate technology to keep your home warm even during freezing outdoor temperatures.

How long does a typical mini-split installation take?

A standard single-zone mini-split installation can typically be completed in just a few hours to a single day. Because there is no major ductwork construction required, the process is clean, quiet, and requires only a small three-inch hole through the exterior wall to connect the components.

Why are some rooms in my house better suited for a mini-split?

Mini-splits are perfect for fixing comfort imbalances in rooms that run too hot or cold, such as sunrooms, master bedrooms, home additions, basements, or finished garages. They are also ideal for older homes that lack the infrastructure or space for traditional ductwork.

How much energy can I save by switching to a ductless mini-split?

Traditional air ducts can lose up to 30% of conditioned air through invisible leaks and holes. Because mini-splits deliver air directly into the room without ducts, they eliminate this energy waste entirely, drastically lowering your monthly utility bills.

How often do mini-split systems need to be serviced?

To maintain peak efficiency, you should clean the reusable indoor mesh filters every 4 to 6 weeks (a quick DIY task). Additionally, we recommend scheduling a professional maintenance tune-up once or twice a year to deep-clean the coils, flush the drain lines, and check refrigerant levels.

How do I know what size mini-split system my space needs?

System sizing is calculated based on the square footage of the room, ceiling height, insulation quality, and number of windows. Our technicians perform an expert cooling and heating load calculation to ensure your mini-split is perfectly sized preventing short-cycling and premature wear.

How long do mini-split systems typically last?

With proper installation and routine preventative maintenance, a high-quality residential mini-split system can easily last 15 to 20 years, outliving many traditional ducted heating and cooling systems.
