When Texas heat meets older homes or unique spaces, traditional HVAC systems don’t always make sense. That’s where ductless mini split systems shine. Recently, our team at 72 Degrees Air Conditioning, Heating, and Plumbing installed a new LG mini split in a Johnson City home—bringing targeted, efficient comfort without major renovations.
The Job Overview
- Location: Johnson City, TX
- Scope: Installation of a base model LG 17 SEER heat pump mini split system (24,000 BTU)
- Why it mattered: The home needed reliable, efficient cooling without adding ductwork. A mini split was the ideal solution, offering zoned comfort and energy savings with a clean installation.
What We Found
Like many properties in the Texas Hill Country, this home didn’t have a full central ducted HVAC system. Running new ducts would have meant significant construction and cost. Instead, the existing space was perfect for a ductless mini split, which requires minimal alterations and delivers both heating and cooling where it’s needed most.
During the pre-install assessment, our technicians determined the best placement for the indoor air handler and outdoor unit to maximize performance, airflow, and aesthetics.
The Solution
Our installation team completed the project in a single day, carefully following LG’s specifications and local code requirements. Key steps included:
- Installing the LG 17 SEER mini split system with a 12-year parts and compressor warranty and 1-year labor coverage
- Running and securing refrigerant line sets with protective covers for a clean, finished look
- Mounting the indoor air handler for optimal airflow and quiet operation
- Testing the system to verify refrigerant charge, electrical connections, and performance
The Results
The homeowner now enjoys zoned comfort—cool air in summer and heat in winter—all without invasive ductwork. The system delivers high efficiency and whisper-quiet operation, backed by one of the strongest warranties in the industry.
For Hill Country homes, shops, garages, and additions, mini splits offer a smart way to stay comfortable year-round without sacrificing energy efficiency.
