Ductless mini-split systems for garages, additions, sunrooms, and older homes. Expert installation and repair throughout the Triangle.
Mini-split systems have revolutionized home comfort by providing efficient, flexible heating and cooling without the need for ductwork. At Frost Fire Heating and Cooling, we specialize in ductless mini-split installation and repair throughout Clayton, Raleigh, Durham, and the greater Triangle area. Whether you need to heat and cool a garage workshop, a new home addition, a sunroom, or an older home without existing ductwork, mini-splits offer an elegant, energy-efficient solution.
A ductless mini-split system consists of an outdoor compressor unit connected to one or more indoor air handlers via a small conduit. This means installation is minimally invasive — no tearing open walls or ceilings to run ductwork. Most single-zone installations can be completed in just a few hours, with only a small 3-inch hole needed through an exterior wall. Multi-zone systems allow you to connect multiple indoor units to a single outdoor unit, providing independent temperature control in different rooms.
Mini-splits are incredibly energy efficient, often achieving SEER2 ratings above 20 — far higher than most traditional central air systems. Because they deliver conditioned air directly into each room without the energy losses associated with ductwork, they can reduce heating and cooling costs by 25-40% compared to conventional systems. They're also whisper-quiet, with indoor units operating at just 19-25 decibels — quieter than a library.
Turn your garage into a comfortable year-round workspace. Mini-splits provide powerful heating and cooling without ductwork.
New additions often can't connect to existing ductwork. Mini-splits provide efficient climate control without system upgrades.
Enjoy your sunroom year-round with a mini-split that handles both the summer heat and winter chill efficiently.
Many older homes in Clayton and Raleigh lack ductwork. Mini-splits provide modern comfort without invasive renovations.
Rooms that your central system can't properly heat or cool are perfect candidates for a supplemental mini-split unit.
Server rooms, office additions, retail spaces — mini-splits offer affordable, targeted climate control for businesses.
We assess the space, discuss your goals, and recommend the right mini-split system size and configuration.

Mini-split costs depend on the number of zones, system capacity (BTU), brand, and any electrical work required. Single-zone installations are the most affordable option, while multi-zone systems cost more but provide whole-home coverage. We provide detailed written estimates so you know exactly what you're paying for — equipment, labor, materials, and permits.
Mini-splits often qualify for energy efficiency rebates and federal tax credits. We'll walk you through available incentives to help reduce your out-of-pocket cost. Many homeowners are surprised at how affordable ductless systems can be once incentives are factored in.
