Ductless Mini-Split Installation in Monument, CO
Around the Clock!
Ductless Zoned Comfort Specialists | Written Pricing and Financing Available | 100% Satisfaction Guarantee
Every home in Monument seems to have one room that never works. The finished basement is cold in February and stuffy in July. The bonus room over the garage has weak ductwork. The addition was built by tapping the nearest trunk line and hoping. On the Palmer Divide, where the sun is fierce and nights drop hard, those rooms go unused.
We are Around The Clock Heating, Air Conditioning, Plumbing, and Electric, serving Monument and the Tri-Lakes area from our Colorado Springs shop on I-25. A ductless mini-split solves that without opening walls or re-engineering ductwork and works well everywhere else. We size it, place it properly, and provide written pricing. Financing is available.
Mini-Split Installation Services in Monument, CO
At Around the Clock, we install ductless mini-split systems for Monument homes that need efficient, room-by-room heating and cooling. From a single bedroom to multiple zones across the house, we design the system around the property’s layout, comfort needs, and Colorado climate.
- Single-Zone Mini-Split Installation: We install individual systems for bedrooms, offices, additions, garages, and other spaces without convenient ductwork.
- Multi-Zone Mini-Split Installation: Multiple indoor units can connect to a single outdoor unit, giving different areas of your Monument home independent temperature control.
- Mini-Split Replacement: We replace aging or unreliable ductless systems with properly sized equipment selected for the space and its heating and cooling demands.
- Cold-Climate Mini-Split Installation: We select equipment designed for low-temperature operation to deliver reliable heating in Monument’s cold winters.

Our goal is not just to install a mini-split. We design the system around how your Monument home is used, then install it for reliable year-round comfort and efficient operation.

Where a Mini-Split Beats Extending the Ductwork
Mini-splits suit Monument homes without ductwork, older properties, additions, finished basements, garages, and rooms that never balance. The question is rarely if one works, but whether it is better than extending ductwork into the problem room.
The Department of Energy notes that only a three-inch hole through the wall is needed to connect the outdoor condenser and indoor heads, and each indoor coil creates its own zone. Compare that to a new trunk and branch into a finished basement with open ceilings, routing through joists, and an air handler not sized for the extra load.
Zoning decides most Monument jobs. A bonus room over a garage has three exposed walls, a floor over unconditioned space, and no hallway thermostat serving both it and the rest of the house.
Where a mini-split is not the answer, we will say so. A house with sound ductwork and one balancing problem needs the ducts fixed instead.
What Monument Homeowners Say About Our Installations
I Will Always Recommend This Company
Linda Dee had a full installation handled from first contact through commissioning. The crew walked her through the whole system before leaving, then cleaned up behind themselves.
“After they installed the AC, they showed me how to operate the new thermostat, showed me the new components in the basement, showed me the new AC unit outside, and they cleaned everything up afterwards. I will always recommend this company to anyone looking to repair or install new AC.”

That handover is what homeowners often miss. New equipment with unfamiliar controls is worth little if no one spends ten minutes showing you how to use it. Always ask for the walkthrough before the crew leaves.
Our Mini-Split Installation Process in Monument
1. Free consultation. We assess the room, its exposure, insulation, and where an outdoor unit can reasonably be placed.
2. Sizing and placement. We calculate the space’s capacity, account for elevation, and choose head placement based on airflow and room use rather than installer convenience.
3. Written proposal. Single-zone or multi-zone options, each with one price and what it includes.
4. Electrical and permits. A dedicated circuit is usually needed. We handle the electrical work and permits, which is why holding all three Colorado licenses matters.
5. Installation. We run the line set, seal the wall penetration, route condensate, and set the outdoor unit on a pad or bracket clear of the snow line.
6. Commissioning and handover. We verify the charge, test heating and cooling, and show you how to use the remote and set up the schedule.

FAQs About Mini-Split Installation in Monument, CO
Do ductless mini-splits actually work in Colorado winters?
Modern cold-climate models do, and that is the main thing that has changed in the last decade. A mini-split is a heat pump, so it moves heat rather than making it, and current equipment holds useful capacity well below freezing. What matters is specifying a model rated for our conditions and sizing it for the design temperature at this elevation. Capacity falls as the temperature drops, so we check the manufacturer’s rated output under design conditions rather than the headline number quoted at 47 degrees.
How long does a mini-split installation take?
A single-zone system is usually a one-day job. Multi-zone systems with several heads and longer line runs can take two days. Variables include the distance from head to outdoor unit, whether a dedicated circuit exists, and access. Line sets are evacuated to a vacuum, and the charge is verified before commissioning. Rushed installs skip this, causing some systems to underperform from day one. Anything we expect is priced in the proposal.
Do I need a permit for a mini-split in Monument?
Yes, and the electrical side usually requires one too since most installations need a dedicated circuit. We pull permits and schedule inspections. Holding mechanical, plumbing, and electrical licenses in Colorado means electrical work is not subcontracted or delayed by other trades. It also means the panel is checked at the estimate, not on install day, avoiding delays that turn a one-day job into two.
How many rooms can one system handle?
One outdoor unit can serve several indoor heads, typically four or five, each acting as its own comfort zone. What matters is total capacity, not room count: four small bedrooms differ from two large open spaces. Loading a condenser to its limit leaves no reserve for the coldest week, so beyond a point, a second outdoor unit is better. We calculate loads rather than count doors.
Where do the indoor heads actually go?
High-on-wall units are most common, but floor-mounted and ceiling-cassette units exist and can be better. Placement depends on airflow and furniture layout, not the shortest run to an outside wall. Condensate matters too, since a wall head drains by gravity and needs a slope to the outside. We walk the room with you and agree on the position before drilling.
Is a mini-split cheaper than extending my ductwork?
Frequently, yes, especially into a finished basement or over a garage where new runs mean opening ceilings and routing through structure. There is a second cost people miss: extending ducts adds load to an air handler not sized for it, so the central system ends up undersized. A ductless zone avoids both. We quote it against the ducted alternative when both are viable.
