What is a Ductless Mini Split System?
Unlike central air conditioning that relies on ductwork to distribute air from a single outdoor unit and indoor air handler, a ductless mini split system uses an outdoor compressor connected to one or more indoor air handling units via a small conduit. This conduit contains refrigerant lines, power cables, and condensate drain lines. Each indoor unit can be controlled independently, allowing you to create customizable temperature zones in your home without the need for extensive duct installation.
Why Mini Splits are Ideal for Tampa Homes
Tampa's unique climate demands smart cooling solutions. Ductless mini splits are perfectly suited for our high heat and humidity for several reasons:
- Zoned Comfort: Say goodbye to fighting over the thermostat. Each indoor unit cools (or heats, as most are heat pumps) a specific area independently. This means you can keep occupied rooms perfectly comfortable while reducing cooling in unused spaces, saving energy.
- Energy Efficiency: Mini splits are known for their impressive energy efficiency, often exceeding SEER ratings of traditional systems. Their ability to cool only the zones you need, coupled with inverter technology that adjusts compressor speed, leads to lower energy bills.
- Humidity Control: Effective humidity removal is crucial in Tampa. Mini splits are highly effective at dehumidifying the air in the zones they serve, improving comfort and air quality.
- Perfect for Ductless Spaces: Adding an office in the garage, finishing a sunroom, or living in an older home without ducts? Mini splits offer cooling and heating without the expense and disruption of installing new ductwork.
- Improved Indoor Air Quality: With multi-stage filtration, mini split systems can help reduce dust, allergens, and other airborne particles in your home, contributing to better Indoor Air Quality (IAQ).

Understanding Mini Split Costs
The cost of a mini split system varies depending on several factors, including the number of zones needed, the size (BTUs) of the indoor units, the brand and model chosen, and the complexity of the installation. We provide transparent pricing and can discuss financing options to fit your budget. Get in touch for a personalized estimate.
Sizing Your System
Proper sizing is crucial for efficient and effective cooling. A system that's too small won't cool adequately, while one that's too large can cycle too frequently, leading to humidity issues and reduced efficiency. Our technicians perform detailed load calculations to determine the perfect size system for your specific space and cooling needs.

Customer Reviews
We recently moved to Florida and needed major repairs to our church. After researching several companies, I went with Sunstate and I’m so thankful I did. Joe came out and provided us with the information necessary to make an informed decision and provided a reasonable estimate. We had a new unit installed, duct work repaired, and new thermostat installed. If you’re reading this review and wondering who to trust for your AC needs, please call Sunstate.

Great job replacing both the condensing unit and air-handler. Moved the air-handler from the attic to the garage and re-designed and installed new duct work to accommodate the move. Works great and no more worries about overflowing drain pan damaging the ceiling and wood floors. Not to mention making it easier to maintain the AH unit. The guys worked through the night to make sure the AC was back on before they left the job. Thanks for a job well done.

Sunstate mechanical is truly the best contractors I have experienced since I moved into my house 30 years ago. I have been dealing with Joe and his crew for over 11 years now. They are a trustworthy, respectful, experienced crew who works with you and gives you a fair value. They just completed a big job replacing my A/C, gas furnance and condenser. They did an excellent job, no short cuts, made sure everything was functional, and cleaned up the area nicely before they left.

Sunstate Mechanical are absolutely one of the best. I have had two new units installed from them, and the work they did was spectacular. The crew was prompt (even called ahead to confirm the appointment), incredibly professional, and they left the area around the air handler somehow cleaner than when they arrived. I have had no issues with my units over the years because Sunstate Mechanical took the time to do it right the first time.
Cory C.

They also offer a great maintenance plan to keep things running in top shape! Thank you Sunstate! Keep up the great work!
