Home / Services / Ductless AC Installation
Astello installs ductless mini-split air conditioning that actually cools an old home — quiet, room-by-room, no ductwork torn into your walls — across the Albany–Schenectady–Troy area. And around here it matters: old Upstate houses were built to hold heat, not shed it, and our summers keep getting hotter and stickier. (The New York State Climate Impacts Assessment says the Capital Region is warming faster than the country as a whole.) Free estimates, and we file your NY Clean Heat rebate paperwork.

Cooling an old Upstate home is hard for one reason: it was never built for it. The brownstones and Victorians around here run on radiators or steam heat, with no ductwork to tie central air into — and retrofitting ducts means tearing open plaster and giving up closets to wreck the character of the house. Ductless skips that. Each indoor head cools the room it’s in, so you set the upstairs bedrooms cold for sleeping without paying to cool an empty living room. And because the units run on inverter compressors that ease up and down instead of slamming on and off, they pull the humidity out — half the battle in a sticky New York July.

Real Astello installs
A family in a Saratoga mobile home was getting hammered by summer heat with no air conditioning at all. We put in a Cooper & Hunter ductless system that finally cooled the whole place — room by room, without tearing the home apart to run ductwork.
They went from sweating through July to setting each room exactly where they wanted it. That's what ductless does in a house that was never built for central air.
Most cooling complaints we get around the Capital Region come down to the same short list — and ductless handles all of it:
Old houses cook upstairs while the first floor stays fine. We put a head where the heat is and run each room on its own — so the bedrooms sleep cold without freezing the rest of the house.
Inverter compressors ramp up and down to match the room instead of cycling full-blast on and off. That steadier run dries the air, so 74° in your house feels like 74 — not 74-and-swampy.
The same cold-climate unit that cools you in July takes the chill off a 40° October morning in a few minutes — no firing up the whole boiler. Cool all summer, a quick warm-up in spring and fall.
We visit, look at which rooms run hot, and size the system — how many heads, which zones — to your actual house, not a square-footage chart.
You get a flat, all-in quote with equipment, labor, and rebate savings spelled out. No surprises.
Our crew installs your mini-split — usually in a day or two — and cleans up when we’re done.
We test everything, show you how it runs, and file your NY Clean Heat paperwork for you.

Yes. We size a multi-zone system so each room gets its own indoor head and its own temperature control. You cool only the rooms you’re using, which is far more efficient than one central unit running for the whole house.
No — that’s the point of ductless. Indoor units mount on the wall or ceiling and connect to the outdoor unit through a small line set, so there’s no ductwork to install. It’s ideal for older homes, additions, and rooms that never cool evenly.
The same system does both. A ductless heat pump cools in summer and heats efficiently in winter, so one install keeps you comfortable year-round — no separate furnace or AC needed.
Most installs are done in one to two days, depending on how many zones you’re adding. We schedule around you and clean up when we’re finished.
Yes — and it’s one of the better reasons to go ductless here. The inverter compressor runs at a steady, lower speed instead of cycling full-on and off, so it pulls more moisture out of the air. In a sticky Capital Region July, that’s the difference between 74° that feels cool and 74° that feels swampy.
We install Mitsubishi Electric, Cooper & Hunter, and Senville ductless systems, and we’ll recommend the right fit for your home. We also service most major brands.
