Ductless Mini-Split Installation in New York City: what's different
Ductless mini-splits are one of the most practical ways to add cooling and efficient heat in New York City. Pre-war apartments, brownstones and row houses rarely have ductwork, and window units are noisy and block light.
In co-ops and condos, the board usually must approve the installation, including where the outdoor unit goes: a roof, balcony, rear wall bracket or courtyard. Installers must be properly licensed for NYC work, and some buildings require specific brands or contractors.
Ask the installer for a site visit before the quote, since outdoor unit placement, line-set routes and electrical capacity vary widely between NYC buildings.

FAQ
Ductless Mini-Split Installation questions
Can I install a mini-split in my NYC co-op?+
Often, but you'll need board approval and an alteration agreement. Ask the building about outdoor unit locations and approved contractors before getting quotes.
What size mini-split do I need for a garage?+
Many 2-car garages need 18,000–24,000 BTU in hot climates because of poor insulation and the garage door. A load calculation, and insulating the door, can reduce that.
