A ductless mini-split is a heating and cooling system that conditions one or more rooms without connecting to a central duct system. In Conyers, GA, it is the most practical solution when a space has no existing ductwork or when the central system simply cannot keep a room comfortable year-round.
A mini-split consists of a compact outdoor unit and one or more indoor air handlers, called heads, mounted on the wall or ceiling of each zone. Refrigerant lines run between them through a small hole in the wall. There is no ductwork to install, no duct leakage to worry about, and each zone gets its own thermostat. That last part matters more than people expect.
Conyers sits about 30 minutes east of Atlanta on I-20, and the summers here are long, humid, and unforgiving. A bonus room over a garage or a sunroom facing south can hit temperatures that a central system, already working hard to cool the rest of the house, simply cannot overcome. A dedicated mini-split handles that room on its own terms.
All Purpose Heating and Air Conditioning has been doing this work for over 35 years. We are locally owned, licensed and insured, and our crews run the I-20 corridor to Conyers regularly. If you have a room that has never been right, give us a call or request your estimate and we will take a look.
The most common reason a Conyers homeowner calls us about a mini-split is a room that has never been comfortable, no matter what the thermostat says. That problem shows up in specific places, and it is worth naming them.
Garages converted to living space are a big one. A finished garage has no supply or return ducts, which means the central system does not touch it. Come July, it is an oven. A mini-split gives that space its own independent cooling and heating without tearing into the existing ductwork.
Sunrooms are similar. Many homes in the Honey Creek area and in the ranch subdivisions built through the 1980s and 1990s had sunrooms added after the original construction. Those additions almost never got properly sized duct extensions. The result is a room you cannot use four months out of the year.
Older homes near Olde Town Conyers present a different situation entirely. Some of those houses were built before central air was standard, and adding a full duct system means cutting through plaster, framing new chases, and doing significant interior work. A mini-split gets those homes air conditioning without that level of disruption.
Bonus rooms above garages are another common call. Heat rises, the garage ceiling conducts heat upward all day, and the single supply duct that was roughed in during construction cannot keep up. One properly sized indoor head fixes that.
And when the east side of the metro takes a winter ice storm and the power flickers or goes out, a mini-split with its own dedicated circuit and inverter-driven compressor often recovers faster and holds temperature more steadily than an older system running on a struggling electrical panel.
Before we touch a single tool, we do zone planning. That means walking the space with you, measuring square footage, checking ceiling height, noting window orientation, and thinking about how much sun the room takes in. A sunroom on the south side of a home near the Salem Road corridor is going to have a very different load than a basement bedroom. Getting the zone count and equipment size right at this stage is what makes the system work correctly for the life of the equipment.
Next is indoor head placement. We choose the wall or ceiling location that gives the best airflow across the room without blowing directly on where people sit or sleep. The head needs to be level, structurally supported, and accessible for filter cleaning. We mark it, confirm it with you, and then we commit.
Outdoor unit placement comes next. The condenser needs adequate clearance, good drainage, and a location that does not create noise problems near a bedroom window or a neighbor’s property line. On larger lots, common in the rural stretches toward the county line, we have more flexibility. On tighter suburban lots we think carefully about placement before drilling anything.
Then we run the line set, which carries refrigerant between the indoor and outdoor units, and pull the electrical circuit the system requires. Line set length affects both the cost and the complexity of the job. Longer runs through finished walls or ceilings take more time and materials than a short exterior run.
We mount the indoor head, connect the line set, pressure-test the refrigerant circuit, and commission the system. Startup includes verifying the refrigerant charge, confirming airflow from the head, and walking you through the controls before we leave.
Cost is driven by the number of zones, whether you choose wall-mount or ceiling-cassette heads, line set length, and what the electrical panel situation looks like. Request your estimate and we will give you a real number specific to your home.
Ductless mini-splits are one part of what we do for Conyers homeowners, but they do not exist in isolation. If you are adding a mini-split to a house that also has a central system, the condition of that central system matters. Homes in the subdivisions built through the 1980s and 1990s around Conyers often have original ductwork that has developed leaks over the decades. A new mini-split handling one zone while the rest of the house loses conditioned air through leaky ducts is a problem worth knowing about.
