Considering whether a ductless mini-split system is the right choice for your home depends on various factors. Let’s explore some considerations to help you make an informed decision:

Yes, a whole house mini-split system is possible. However, in practice, it is more common to install mini-split indoor units in areas such as the master bedroom and main living areas, where temperature control is typically desired.

UniColorado is a Ductless & Mini Split Pioneer

UniColorado has been installing heat pump systems since 2015; back then, many in the HVAC industry thought of heat pumps as a luxury product that would be unlikely to become mainstream. The tides have now shifted and now heat pumps are all the buzz.

We’re thankful that we started early and now have a wealth of knowledge and practical experience in heat pump systems that our competitors will not have for many years to come.

We offer a variety of heat pump products and brands; if you have a residential property, it is very likely that we have a solution for your specific needs and project at a reasonable price. Don’t forget, because of our heat pump volume, our heat pump prices are typically one of the lowest in town with the most durable equipment.

Currently, for any HVAC equipment out there, heat pumps have the highest third-party incentives by far. In Colorado, in 2023, the average heat pump rebate is $4,000 which is a historically high incentive.
