Mini Split Systems
Table of Contents
Not every room in a Gilbert home cools or heats the same way. A converted garage, a bonus room over the carport, or an addition tacked onto the back of the house often ends up ten degrees off from the rest of the home, no matter how the main thermostat is set. Running new ductwork to fix the problem can mean tearing into walls and ceilings that were never designed for it. A mini split system solves that same problem without the demolition, giving that one stubborn room its own dedicated comfort control.
Gilbert’s Mini Split Specialists
Ellsworth Air Conditioning & Plumbing has installed and serviced heating and cooling equipment across Gilbert since 2008. As a family owned and operated company, we take the time to explain how a mini split fits into your home’s existing setup instead of just quoting a price and moving on. We install Bosch and GrandAire equipment, and we back larger installations with 0% financing through Synchrony, so getting a hard to cool room under control does not have to strain your budget.
Mini splits are one part of a broader lineup of HVAC solutions we offer to Gilbert homeowners, alongside central AC and heating repair, installation, and maintenance. When ductwork is not the right fit for a space, a mini split gives that room the same level of comfort as the rest of the house.
Signs a Mini Split Could Solve Your Comfort Problem
Homeowners usually come to us after trying everything else first, from adjusting vents to running a portable fan and hoping the rest of the house does not overcool while one room catches up. A few patterns tend to show up again and again in Gilbert homes:
- A room that runs consistently warmer or cooler: Especially a converted space, an addition, or a room at the far end of the ductwork run that the main system never quite reaches.
- A finished garage with no vents: Most garages were never connected to the home’s original ductwork, so converting one into livable space almost always means finding a separate way to heat and cool it.
- An addition built without extending the ductwork: Common in older sections of Gilbert, where a room was added on after the original HVAC system was already sized and installed.
If any of these sound familiar, a mini split is often a more practical fix than trying to force the existing system to cover a space it was never designed to reach.
Mini Split Solutions and Related Services
Every mini split installation starts with a look at the specific room and how it is used, since that determines the right size and placement for the equipment.
Mini Split Installation Options
Depending on the space, we install:
- Single zone mini splits: One indoor unit paired with one outdoor unit, ideal for a single room or converted garage.
- Multi zone mini splits: Several indoor units connected to one outdoor unit, suited for additions with more than one room to condition.
Both options give you independent temperature control for the space, separate from the rest of your home’s central system.

If a mini split is being added to a room with existing ventilation concerns, such as an attic space above a converted garage, we can pair the installation with attic and garage ventilation upgrades to keep the new equipment running efficiently. This combination is especially useful in Gilbert, where unconditioned attic and garage spaces can trap heat well into the evening.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cost depends on the number of zones, the size of the space, and the specific equipment selected. A single zone system for one room generally costs less than a multi zone setup covering an addition with several rooms. We provide a free, no obligation estimate so you know the full cost before any work begins.
Yes. Mini splits are designed to handle both cooling and heating, and modern units hold up well against Arizona’s long, hot summers when sized correctly for the space. Choosing the right unit size for the room, rather than guessing, is what makes the difference between a mini split that keeps up and one that runs constantly without catching up.
In smaller homes or standalone spaces, a mini split can serve as the only source of heating and cooling. In most Gilbert homes, though, a mini split works alongside an existing central system, handling the specific rooms that central ductwork cannot reach evenly.
