Ductless Mini-Splits in Lynnwood, WA
Heating and cooling for Everett rooms that ducts never reached — one head or five on a single outdoor unit. The person who quotes it is the person who installs it.
A ductless mini-split installation puts an inverter heat pump outside and slim indoor heads in the rooms that need them, joined by a line set about three inches across. No ductwork, no torn-up ceilings. It heats and it cools, and in an Everett house that was never built with ducts it is usually the whole answer rather than a compromise.

Ductless Mini-Splits FAQs
An inverter heat pump outside connected to one or more wall-, ceiling-, or floor-mounted indoor heads by a refrigerant line set about three inches across — no ductwork required. Each head is controlled independently, so rooms can be set to different temperatures.
There is no single figure, because head count decides it and head count is decided by your house. One head for a bonus room and five heads on one outdoor unit are thousands of dollars apart. I price it after walking the house, and the mechanical permit is $250 in the Snohomish County jurisdictions where most of my work sits.
A head serves a volume of air that can circulate, not a room. An open-plan downstairs is often one head; three bedrooms with the doors shut at night is three. I settle it at the site visit, and I size the outdoor unit so a head can be added later if you want to stage the work.
Yes. Cold-climate inverter equipment holds usable heating capacity well below freezing, far below anything Lynnwood sees. When comparing quotes, ask for the rated heating capacity at 17°F and 5°F for the specific outdoor unit proposed — it is on the manufacturer's data sheet.
They are among the quietest comfort systems made. An inverter compressor spends most of its life running slowly rather than cycling fully on and off, and running slowly is what makes it quiet — which matters here because the head is in the room with you rather than in a crawlspace.
No. If your house already has sound ductwork, a ducted heat pump is normally the better system — one filter, nothing on the walls, lower cost per square foot. Ductless wins where there are no usable ducts, and small-duct high-velocity is a third option worth considering in period houses where a wall head is not acceptable.
Most jobs run two to four days, decided by head count and how the building is put together rather than by the size of the equipment. I pull the mechanical permit myself, so the work is inspected.
Yes, every brand. The job most often skipped is cleaning the indoor coil and blower wheel — a head has only a thin mesh screen rather than a filter cabinet, so it loads with dust over the years, which is what causes the sour smell and the lost airflow.
