Free in-home installation quote on single-zone and multi-zone ductless mini-split systems across Northern Virginia, Maryland, and Washington DC. Perfect for additions, finished basements, sunrooms, garages, attic conversions, and older homes without ductwork. Quilt (up to 25 SEER2), Mitsubishi, Carrier, and Daikin.
Ductless mini-splits are the right choice when ductwork isn't. They install in older DMV homes where running new ducts is impractical, in additions and renovations where ductwork was never built, and in homes that want app-controlled room-by-room temperature instead of a single thermostat for the whole building. Modern systems like Quilt reach 25 SEER2 efficiency — significantly higher than most central systems.
Modern ductless indoor units have come a long way from the bulky white plastic boxes of 10 years ago. Quilt's heads are designed as furniture-grade objects in their own right. Ceiling cassettes, low-wall units that mount near baseboards, and concealed ducted heads (where you only see a vent grille) are all available for installations where visible wall mounting isn't desired. HVAC-DMV walks through aesthetic options during the in-home consultation.

Or call (571) 704-7848Ductless mini-split installations in Northern Virginia, Maryland, and DC range $4,500 to $28,000. Single-zone systems (one indoor unit + one outdoor unit) typically run $4,500 to $8,000. Multi-zone systems with 2-3 zones range $9,000 to $18,000. Whole-home ductless setups with 4+ zones can run $18,000 to $28,000+. Quilt's high-efficiency platform (25 SEER2) is at the premium end of the range.
Ductless mini-splits are the better choice for: additions without existing ductwork, finished basements, sunrooms, garages, attic conversions, older homes (especially DC and Old Town Alexandria rowhouses where running new ducts is impossible), and homeowners who want room-by-room temperature control with app-based zoning. For new construction or whole-home replacement where ductwork already exists, central systems are usually more cost-effective.
Modern ductless mini-splits reach up to 25 SEER2 (cooling) and 12 HSPF2 (heating) — significantly higher efficiency than most central systems. Quilt's variable-speed inverter platform delivers some of the highest residential efficiency available in the US. Heat pump operation works effectively down to approximately 5°F in DMV winters.
Modern wall-mounted ductless units have come a long way from the bulky white boxes of the past. Quilt's indoor units in particular are designed as furniture-grade objects. Ceiling cassettes, low-wall units, and concealed ducted heads are also available for installations where visible wall mounting isn't preferred. HVAC-DMV walks through aesthetic options during the in-home consultation.
Primary brands are Quilt (highest efficiency, app-controlled, designer-grade indoor units), Mitsubishi (the established premium player), Carrier (reliable mid-tier), and Daikin (good value, strong warranty). All four qualify for current Dominion Energy and federal heat pump rebates.
Single-zone installations are typically completed in one day. Multi-zone systems (2-3 zones) take 2-3 days. Whole-home installations with 4+ zones may take 4-6 days depending on complexity and run lengths.
