If you’re considering a ductless mini split in Issaquah, Washington, don’t hesitate to call the team at Hunt’s Services today. We’re available to assist with your mini split installation throughout King, Pierce and Thurston Counties, saving you time and money as you invest in one of these high-end products.
Before opting for one of these units, it’s best to learn a bit about them. You should know that heat pumps provide both heating and cooling for your home, eliminating the need for a central air conditioning unit and leaving you less reliant on your gas furnace.
They also mount on the wall rather than being installed through your ductwork, so they’re less expensive for our certified, licensed technicians to put in.
It’s recommended that you hire a professional contractor, though, because some electrical work is necessary, and a refrigerant line requires installation.
Call Hunt’s Services today to start the ductless mini split installation process in Issaquah. We also provide a wide range of HVAC services, including furnace repair, heat pumps, central AC installation, and duct cleaning.
We’re standing by at 253-533-7500 to book your appointment as soon as possible.
The Inner Workings of a Ductless Mini Split
While it isn’t essential, you might want to learn how your ductless mini split system works. After all, this appliance will be a significant part of your life, so understanding it could come in handy.
First, you’ll notice your ductless mini split has indoor and outdoor sections. Each section has a job, and the two portions connect via wiring and copper tubing.
The exterior portion of the device is home to some refrigerant, a compressor, and a fan. The compressor moves the refrigerant through an expansion valve, which cools it, before pushing the refrigerant inside. The fan is responsible for preventing the entire system from overheating.
The interior section is mounted on a wall and pushes cool or warm air into the room with a blower. It also has a compressor that brings refrigerant inside and moves it back outside after it has absorbed heat from the air.
This entire process sounds complicated, but it happens instantaneously, leaving you with a climate-controlled environment in your living room, bedroom, or anywhere else you choose to install a wall-mounted unit.

Other Ductless Mini Split Information
Beyond how a ductless mini split system works, you might be interested in learning some other factors before committing to one of these units.
These systems don’t need much maintenance because they don’t have many moving parts. All you really have to do is clean the internal filters every couple of months to ensure they’re in good condition. The filters pop right out of the interior portion of the mini split, and you can use a vacuum, cloth, or water to wash them. You can then put the same filter back into the unit.
It’s also recommended that you hire a contractor to check your refrigerant pressure and flush the condensate line about once per year to avoid potential problems down the road.
Other than that, your ductless mini split shouldn’t require much intervention at all, making them an excellent choice for homeowners in Issaquah and elsewhere in Western Washington.
Tips For Buying a Mini Split
So, how do you purchase a ductless mini split?
You might also need more than one heat pump to heat and cool your home adequately.
After choosing the heat pump you wish to install, your contractor will start on the rest of the job. The installation will involve fitting a concrete slab to level the outdoor portion and running some tubes and wiring through your walls.
Running the tubes and wiring sounds invasive, but Hunt’s Services will do it with as little disruption as possible. You won’t see these connections once the job is done, either.
