Ductless Mini-Split Installation in Kentucky: what's different

Ductless Mini-Split Installation across Kentucky depends on the climate (IECC climate zones 4). Heat pumps are common in mixed climates and run year-round. Many homes pair them with a gas furnace as a dual-fuel system for the coldest days.

Kentucky has a mixed-humid climate with hot summers and cold winters, so heating and cooling loads are both significant. Louisville and Lexington see regular freezing weather, and the Ohio River valley traps humidity in summer.

Kentucky licenses HVAC contractors and journeymen through the Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction. Ask any contractor for their license number before work starts, and expect a written price for ductless Mini-Split Installation.

LG&E and Kentucky Utilities serve much of the state, with Duke Energy Kentucky, Kentucky Power and cooperatives elsewhere. LG&E, Columbia Gas and others supply natural gas.
