Many Live Oak homes were built between the 1970s and 1990s with duct systems sized for the original floor plan only. Extending metal ductwork into a converted garage or addition usually means opening finished ceilings and reworking the attic run, adding cost and structural risk. Ductless delivers zoned cooling through a single small wall penetration instead

Sizing depends on square footage, insulation quality, ceiling height, and how much direct sun the space gets, not just square footage alone. A 300 to 400 square foot converted garage in Live Oak commonly needs a different capacity unit than a similarly sized interior bonus room. We size every system at the free in-home estimate rather than guessing over the phone.

Yes. Ductless indoor units filter the air they recirculate, and because there’s no duct network to leak or collect dust, many homeowners notice less dust buildup in the room compared to a central system with older ductwork. It won’t replace whole-home air filtration, but it does reduce one common source of indoor air quality complaints.

Before scheduling, confirm the indoor unit’s filter isn’t visibly clogged, the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped, and the remote or wall control is set to cooling mode with a temperature below the room’s current reading. If the system still isn’t cooling after those checks, a technician can usually identify the issue during a same-day visit if the schedule allows.

A well-maintained ductless mini-split typically lasts 15 to 20 years, somewhat longer than the 10 to 15 year average for a central AC condenser in Texas heat. Regular filter cleaning and an annual tune-up, available for as low as $58, help the compressor and coil last closer to the upper end of that range.

Ductless indoor units need the washable filter cleaned every 2 to 4 weeks during peak Texas summer use, since they draw air directly from the room rather than through a central return. We also recommend a professional tune-up once a year to check refrigerant charge, drain line flow, and electrical connections. Comfy Club members receive priority scheduling for this service.

For systems under 10 years old with a single component failure, repair is typically the right call, and ductless repairs run $300 to $2,500. For systems over 10 years old, especially ones needing repeated refrigerant recharges, replacement often provides better long-term value given rising repair frequency in Texas heat. We give you an honest assessment at the free in-home visit either way.

Ductless systems avoid the energy loss that comes from air traveling through ductwork in a hot attic, which in Texas can account for a meaningful share of a central system’s cooling output. Because a mini-split cools only the zone it serves, homeowners often see lower energy costs for that specific room compared to running the central system harder to compensate for an uncooled space.
