Ductless Mini-Split Installation in Philadelphia: what's different
Philadelphia rowhouses often have plaster walls, narrow floor plans and limited room for ductwork, which makes ductless mini-splits a common way to add cooling. Outdoor units typically go on the roof or in a small rear yard.
Installers must handle roof penetrations carefully on rowhouses to avoid leaks, and permits are required through the city's Department of Licenses and Inspections. Multi-zone systems can cover each floor of a rowhouse with one outdoor unit.
Ask how the installer will run line sets between floors in a rowhouse, through closets, along exterior walls or inside chases, and how penetrations will be sealed.
Philadelphia climate

FAQ
Ductless Mini-Split Installation questions
Where does the outdoor unit go on a Philadelphia rowhouse?+
Usually on the roof or in the rear yard. Roof installs need proper flashing and support to prevent leaks.

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.
