Mini-Split Systems:
An Overview

Mini-split systems are an energy-efficient and flexible solution for heating and cooling your home.

Unlike traditional HVAC systems, they don’t require ductwork. Instead, an outdoor unit connects to one or more indoor units, allowing you to control the temperature in each room independently. This zoning capability ensures personalized comfort and energy savings. 

With easy installation and quiet operation, ductless mini-splits in New Hampshire are a great choice for both new homes and renovations. They offer year-round comfort and improved air quality.

Why NH Homeowners are Switching to Mini-Splits

More residents are turning to high-efficiency HVAC systems. At Bergeron Mechanical Systems, we’ve seen the demand for heat pumps in New Hampshire grow rapidly. 

In 2022, we installed 178 heat pumps (outdoor/condenser units), increasing to 300+ heat pumps in 2023, and 400+ heat pumps in 2024. This growth reflects a clear shift toward energy-efficient heating and cooling solutions.  We’re committed to helping more homeowners make the transition.
