Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of installing a mini split system?

Mini-split air conditioners give you precision control and lower bills in one sleek package. Because each indoor head is its own zone, every room can sit at the perfect temperature—ending thermostat tug-of-wars for good. Their inverter-driven compressors automatically throttle down once the set point is reached, trimming energy use by up to 30 % compared with old-school, full-blast units.

Where can mini split systems be installed in a home?

Mini splits can be mounted on walls or ceilings. Our technicians help determine the best placement based on comfort goals, room layout, and system type for maximum effectiveness. Mini splits are a great option for historic homes, finished basements, sunrooms, garages, or backyard offices.

Can I use mini splits to control temperatures in multiple rooms?

Yes. Mini split systems can be zoned to independently control temperatures in different areas of your home. We can install multiple units to meet your needs in every room.

How often should mini split systems be inspected or serviced?

Regular inspections help catch refrigerant leaks, worn components, or airflow issues early. Annual air conditioning maintenance keeps your mini split running efficiently and extends its lifespan.

Why is this important? It protects YOU if there are any accidents or mistakes on the job site, and to be realistic, we must understand that things like that can happen sometimes.

We are INSURED.

We show this by offering the most reliable products and service and being willing to GO THE EXTRA MILE.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They had Nick out to our place in one day. Nick was amazing and handled a few issues for us. He was very professional and has great technical skills, most importantly he wanted to solve our issues. Our Geothermal unit is all tuned up and he even serviced the fireplace that hadn’t worked all season. Thanks again Nick.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matt came out to clean and provide a check-up on my furnace and a/c. He was courteous and answered my many questions. As a whole, they communicates prior to the appointment to confirm and also called prior to arrival.  Metro Heating & Cooling provided great service throughout the process.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Erin picked up the call and I could “hear” her smile, she was friendly, explain all options and so helpful. Nick worked on the AC & was great “dumbing it down for me” and was great finding the problem and NEVER pushed for sales, he just explained what was wrong and fixed it. Loved the Metro experience and saved them in my phone for next time. Plus did some shopping around and the “other companies” seem to only want to up-sell me on new everything-ugh but Metro didn’t. Great job all!!!
