Mitchell Makes It Easy to Have a Cool, Comfortable Home
Our ductless mini-split installation and service can’t be beat

One great thing about living here in the Northeast is that there are a lot of attractive traditional homes.
The downside to older homes is that many of them don’t have the ductwork needed for central air conditioning. For too long, that meant homeowners in towns like Southbury, Darien and Pound Ridge only had two options: Shell out big bucks to add ductwork before installing central A/C, or use window units that are inefficient, block the light and let in dust and bugs from outside.
Mitchell has an alternative: ductless mini-splits! We handle everything, including where to place the mini-split units. Our trained and licensed service technicians provide expert installation, maintenance and repair services.
How do ductless mini-splits work?
Ductless mini-splits are a straightforward and efficient solution for heating and cooling, designed with just two main components: the outdoor compressor unit and the indoor air handler. These are connected by a conduit that houses power and communication lines, ensuring seamless operation.
Here’s how it works:
- The compressor compresses refrigerant, cooling it before sending it to the condenser.
- In the condenser, the refrigerant releases heat, which is expelled outdoors.
- As a liquid, the refrigerant moves into the evaporator via the conduit. Warm indoor air is drawn over the evaporator coils, where the refrigerant absorbs heat.
- Finally, the cooled air is distributed into your home through the air handler, providing comfort year-round.
With this system, you get efficient, targeted climate control that keeps your home cool while your energy costs stay down.
What are the advantages of ductless mini-splits?
When it comes to cooling your home, ductless mini-splits are a game-changer. Not only are they cost-effective to install — as you don’t have to pay to add ductwork — but they also offer a host of other benefits that make them an excellent choice. Here’s why they’re a smart solution for your home:
- Efficient, targeted cooling: Mini-splits focus on cooling the spaces you use most, delivering comfort where you need it without wasting energy. This targeted approach keeps your home comfortable while helping you save on energy costs. They’re efficient, effective and designed with your lifestyle in mind.
- Quick, hassle-free installation: Unlike traditional central air systems, mini-splits don’t require ductwork, which means installation is faster, cleaner, and far less disruptive than installing ducts would be. In most cases, our skilled team can have your new system up and running in just one day.
- Perfect for supplemental cooling: Do you have new spaces like a home addition, a finished attic, a workshop or a guesthouse? Mini-splits are ideal for cooling these areas without overloading your central A/C. By reducing strain on your main system, you extend its life span and minimize repair costs. Mini-splits are also perfect for unconventional spaces — think pool houses, garages or above-garage apartments.
