Want to heat and cool a room, or your whole house, without adding ductwork? HVAC Hudson Inc. installs Mitsubishi Electric ductless mini splits for homeowners in Hudson and across Columbia County. We are a Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Contractor and a NYS Clean Heat participating contractor, so we design your system, install it, and handle the rebate paperwork for you.
What Is a Ductless Mini Split?
A ductless mini split is a heat pump with two main parts: an outdoor unit and one or more slim indoor units mounted in the rooms you want to heat and cool. A small refrigerant line runs through the wall to connect them, so there is no ductwork to build and no duct losses. Each indoor unit has its own controls, so every room can be set to the temperature you want.
Why Hudson Valley Homeowners Choose Mitsubishi Hyper-Heat
- Real winter heat. Mitsubishi rates its Hyper-Heat outdoor units to deliver 100% of their heating capacity at 5°F, and they keep heating down to -13°F.
- Heating and air conditioning in one system. The same mini split keeps you warm in January and cool in July.
- Room-by-room comfort. Stop heating rooms nobody is using and fix the rooms that are always too hot or too cold.
- Quiet and efficient. Variable-speed compressors run smoothly instead of blasting on and off, and are often cheaper to run than oil, propane or electric baseboard heat.
Is a Mini Split Right for Your Home?
Ductless mini splits are a great fit for:
- Homes heated with oil, propane or electric baseboard
- Older and historic homes without ductwork, common in Hudson and the surrounding towns
- Additions, finished attics, sunrooms and converted garages
- Bedrooms or offices that are always uncomfortable
- Replacing noisy window air conditioners
If your home already has ducts, a Mitsubishi ducted central heat pump may be the better choice, and many homes use a mix of both.
Single-Zone, Multi-Zone and Whole-Home Systems
A single-zone system pairs one outdoor unit with one indoor unit, which is ideal for a single room or open area. A multi-zone system connects several indoor units to one outdoor unit to heat and cool multiple rooms. For a whole-home system, we design enough capacity to heat your entire house on the coldest days, which is also what most heat pump rebates require.
Our Mini Split Installation Process
- Free in-home estimate. We walk through your home, talk about which rooms need help, and check your electrical panel.
- Manual J load calculation. We calculate the heating and cooling load room by room and size the system to cover 100% to 120% of your home’s heating load.
- Clear written quote. Equipment, labor and line-set covers are spelled out up front, along with the rebate your project should qualify for.
- Professional installation. We mount the indoor units, set the outdoor unit on a sturdy stand, run and cover the lines, and connect everything to code. A typical single-zone installation takes about a day.
- Startup and walkthrough. We test the system with you, show you how to use the controls, and submit your NYS Clean Heat rebate application.
- First year of maintenance free. Every new installation includes a free first year of our HVAC Hudson Comfort Plan.

Mini Split FAQs
Will a mini split keep my house warm when it’s below zero?
Yes, when it is the right equipment and sized correctly. Mitsubishi Hyper-Heat systems keep heating down to -13°F, and we size every system for Hudson Valley winter design temperatures.
How long does mini split installation take?
Most single-zone systems are installed in about a day. Multi-zone and whole-home systems take longer, and we’ll give you a schedule with your quote.
Do I have to remove my old boiler or furnace?
No, it’s your choice. Keeping it as backup is fine, but removing your old fossil fuel system usually qualifies you for a larger rebate.
How do I maintain a mini split?
Clean the indoor unit filters regularly and keep snow and leaves away from the outdoor unit. We recommend a professional tune-up every spring and fall.
