Ductless Mini Splits
Professional Ductless Mini-Split Installations In Lake County OH
I can’t say enough good things about Lakeshore Heating and Cooling — they absolutely saved the day today! My furnace decided to quit on me first thing this morning (perfect timing, right?), leaving the house getting colder by the minute. I called Lakeshore, explained the situation, and they had a technician out the same day — no long wait, no excuses, just prompt, professional service when I needed it most. Matt arrived, quickly diagnosed the issue, and had everything up and running again in no time. His work was thorough, clean, and clearly done by someone who knows their stuff. But the real highlight? My cat — who fancies himself a master digger and supervisor — decided Matt was his new best friend. The customer service was top-notch from start to finish: friendly, efficient, knowledgeable, and just plain cool people. If you’re in the area and need heating or cooling work, do yourself a favor and call Lakeshore Heating and Cooling.
Best guys in the business. Super kind an professional. I would never call anyone else to work on my boiler.
Just wanted to let you know that Matt was awesome. He arrived on time, was courteous and found our problem and fixed it. I appreciated that he didn’t try to upsell us on anything, and all our furnace needed was a sensor cleaned. I honestly don’t think I can recall anyone that had anything serviced that didn’t have to buy some expensive part. During these times of high prices, we can honestly say that what we were charged was beyond fair. I was really happy when I called, your company was able to get me scheduled within a few hours, and with 16 degree temperatures, that was very impressive. I would definitely recommend your company to anyone that would need any heating or cooling issue resolved.
Matt was very professional and knowledgeable. Not only did he find the root cause, he continued to check all other possibilities to make sure that nothing else could go wrong. I truly appreciate his thoroughness .
Matt was great....fixed the problem with my furnace and a great personality.... Refreshing to meet someone so pleasant...Thank you again
Lakeshore Heating’s service was excellent! Matt was very thorough and explained what the problems were and went beyond to make sure my furnace was working properly!!! Highly recommended them!!
Clean install courteous technicians cleaned up everything before they left
Lakeshore Heating and Cooling was very timely, professional and did an awesome job!
My wife posted on our local Facebook page looking for a part for our furnace, this company commented so I gave them a chance. I seen their 5 star reviews and was almost hesitant becasue there were no bad reviews at all. Once we dealt with them I can see why there were no bad reviews. This company is run by people who actually care and know their stuff. Matt came out and did a diagnostics on my furnace which was with the house I bought a bit over three years ago. The furnace is almost old enough to drink at this point but rather just quote a new one he took the time to look it over and find out it just needed a part to keep it going. I would highly recommend them to anyone and dont plan on dealing with any other companies with future needs myself becasue how great my experience was with them.
Do You Need Professional Ductless Mini Split Installation?
Ductless mini splits are an economical way to add air conditioning to your home or office without the complication and expense of constructing and running complicated ductwork throughout your home or building. Mini-split systems work best for smaller rooms, offices or additions on your home that are generally less than 1500 square feet in size.
If your space is larger than that, it’s a better decision to go for a Central Air Conditioning system. Many smaller homes, offices and buildings were never built with air conditioning systems, and they really don’t have much room left within walls and ceilings for ductwork. In these type of situations, ductless mini splits are perfect.
We offer our ductless mini-split installation services throughout Lake County, Ohio including Eastlake, Willowick, Willoughby, Mentor, Wickliffe, Concord, Fairport Harbor, and Painesville. For the best in ductless mini split installation give the team at Lakeshore Heating & Cooling a call today!

Who Are Ductless Mini Splits For?
Ductless mini-split air conditioning systems are an excellent solution for a variety of scenarios. Here are some of their best applications:
#1. Additions and Renovations: If you're adding a room to your home or renovating an existing space, ductless mini splits can provide cooling without the need to extend your existing ductwork.
#2. Older Homes without Ductwork: Older homes that were built before central air became standard often lack the necessary ductwork. Ductless mini splits can provide efficient cooling without the need to install extensive ductwork.
#3. Zoning: If you want different areas of your home to be cooled to different temperatures, a ductless mini split can provide this zoning capability. This can increase comfort and potentially reduce energy usage as you only cool the areas that are being used.
#4. Supplemental Cooling: If certain areas of your home, like a sunroom or an upstairs bedroom, tend to get hotter than the rest of the house, a ductless mini split can provide supplemental cooling for these spaces.
#5. Energy Efficiency: Because they don't lose energy through ductwork, ductless mini splits can be more energy-efficient than traditional central air systems. This makes them an excellent choice for homeowners who want to reduce their environmental impact and energy costs.
#6. Noise Reduction: Ductless systems tend to be quieter than traditional HVAC units, making them an ideal choice for places where noise is a concern, like bedrooms or home offices.
#7. Easy Installation: Compared to traditional central air systems, ductless mini splits are easier and quicker to install, which is beneficial for those who want a less intrusive installation process.
#8. Small Apartments or Compact Spaces: For compact homes or small apartments, where space is a premium and ductwork is impossible, a mini-split system is a perfect choice.
#10. Server Rooms or Specialized Equipment: In commercial spaces, server rooms or rooms housing specialized equipment that generates a lot of heat can benefit greatly from a ductless system.
Remember, though ductless mini splits have many applications, the specifics of your home or commercial building and your cooling needs should be considered when deciding if this is the right solution for you.

Why Install A Ductless Mini-Split AC System?
Unlike traditional window mounted AC units a mini-split is very versatile in how it can be placed within your home or building. They can be suspended from ceilings, out of the way or even flush mounted into a drop ceiling if you like. It’s also not uncommon to just see ductless mini split systems hung right on the wall as it’s only about a 3″ hole that needs to be cut for the wiring and refrigerant lines.
Installation: Ductless mini-split air conditioners are usually a trouble free installation for a professional, barring no unforseen complications.
There is no ductwork required and the only modification is often only a 3″ hole in the wall for the refrigerant lines and wiring. Lakeshore Heating & Cooling can come up with the innovative solutions to install your Ductless mini split system for years of trouble free use.
Ductless Mini-Splits Are Very Efficient
Because mini-splits don’t run any ductwork they are very efficient. Most traditional ducted central air systems will lose 15-20% or more of the conditioned air through leaks or poorly constructed seams in the ductwork and every bend in the run of ductwork will also add resistance to the system, decreasing it’s efficiency. Mini-split ductless air conditioners solve this problem.
Ductless Mini-Splits Also Provide Heat
Ductless mini split air conditioners offer heat via a heat pump. This is a great feature for those of you who need some heat in your space during the wintertime. The forced air heat they provide circulates your room much better than baseboard heating.
Lakeshore Heating & Cooling is an experienced installer of ductless mini split air conditioning systems and we can give you an honest assessment of your particular air conditioning needs and if a ductless mini-split system is going to the be the best choice for you.

What Do Ductless Mini Split Ratings Mean And How Do I Choose The Best One?
When choosing a ductless mini-split system, understanding the key ratings can help you make an informed decision that meets your comfort and energy efficiency needs. Below are the most important ratings to consider:
#1. SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio): This rating measures the cooling efficiency of the system over an entire cooling season. The higher the SEER rating, the more efficient the system. For Ohio’s climate, it’s recommended to choose a mini-split with a SEER rating of at least 16 or higher to ensure optimal energy savings.
#2. HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor): This rating reflects the heating efficiency of the mini-split system. The higher the HSPF rating, the more energy-efficient the system will be when heating. A good HSPF rating to aim for is 8.2 or higher for heating performance in colder months.
#3. BTU (British Thermal Units): BTU measures the system’s heating and cooling capacity. The right BTU rating depends on the size of the room or space you want to condition. For example:
A small room (150-300 sq. ft.) might need a system with 6,000-9,000 BTUs.
A medium room (300-500 sq. ft.) could require 9,000-12,000 BTUs.
Larger areas (500-1,000 sq. ft.) might need 18,000-24,000 BTUs. It’s important to choose the right BTU rating for the size of the space to avoid overworking the system or under-conditioning the room.
#4. Energy Star Certification: Look for Energy Star-certified ductless mini-splits, as these meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Systems with this certification are designed to reduce energy usage and lower utility bills.
#5. Noise Level (Decibels, or dB): If you’re concerned about noise, check the dB rating of the system. Ductless mini splits are typically much quieter than traditional HVAC systems, but it’s still helpful to check the noise rating to ensure quiet operation, especially for bedrooms or living areas.
How to Choose the Best Mini-Split System
- Consider Room Size: Make sure the system's BTU rating matches the size of the room or area you want to heat and cool.
- Energy Efficiency: Opt for systems with higher SEER and HSPF ratings, especially in Ohio’s varying climate, where both heating and cooling efficiency are important.
- Zoning Capabilities: If you need to control the temperature in multiple rooms, look for a multi-zone mini-split system that allows for independent temperature control in different areas.
- Brand Reputation: Choose reliable brands like Trane, Mitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu, and LG, which are known for their efficiency and durability in ductless systems.
By understanding these ratings, you can choose a ductless mini-split system that fits your home’s needs, improves energy efficiency, and keeps you comfortable year-round.
