So, you’ve decided to buy a mini-split system — great move. These units are energy-efficient, whisper-quiet, and perfect for cooling and heating just the space you need.
But now comes the big question: Do you install it yourself — or hire a professional?
Let’s break it down in a simple way to help you decide what’s best for your home (and your wallet).
🛠️ What’s Involved with DIY Mini-Split Installation?
Some mini splits — especially pre-charged systems — are designed to be easier for DIYers. These come with:
-
Pre-loaded refrigerant lines
-
Quick-connect fittings
-
Step-by-step instructions
✅ Pros of DIY:

Code-compliant installation
-
Full warranty protection
Perfect if:
