WeldIntroduction: Comfort Meets Historic Charm
Older homes in Greeley, CO have character, charm and often no ductwork. Installing traditional central air systems can be expensive or even impractical. That’s where mini split AC systems come in. With their ductless design, compact size, and energy efficiency, they’re a smart solution for cooling vintage properties without compromising their integrity.
At Affordable Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc., we specialize in mini split installations tailored to the unique challenges and beauty of older homes. Since 1992, we’ve helped Greeley homeowners enhance comfort while preserving architectural charm.
Why Mini Splits Are Ideal for Older Homes
No Ductwork Required
Many older homes lack the space or infrastructure for ductwork. Mini splits bypass that completely with small refrigerant lines that run between outdoor and indoor units.
Zoned Cooling
Control temperatures room-by-room, avoiding the uneven cooling often found in multi-level or large historic homes.
Minimal Disruption
Installation is quick and doesn’t involve tearing down walls or ceilings. This preserves plasterwork, trim, and other original design elements.
Energy Efficiency
Modern mini splits are highly efficient, helping reduce utility costs in homes that may lack insulation or have older windows.
Installation Considerations for Older Homes
Home Layout and Size
Our technicians perform detailed assessments to determine the number of zones and optimal indoor unit placement.
Electrical System Evaluation
Some older homes may need panel upgrades or new circuits to accommodate the new system. All electrical updates should be performed by a licensed professional to ensure safety and code compliance.
Aesthetic Integration
We work with homeowners to discreetly place indoor units in locations that blend with the home’s aesthetics.
Insulation and Window Quality
While mini splits improve comfort, additional steps like sealing drafts or upgrading windows may enhance performance further.
