Mini Splits in Manasota Key, FL.
Mini Splits for Manasota Key homes, done by licensed Englewood HVAC pros. A lot of Englewood's older housing stock, the bungalows in Palm Island, the cottages in Manasota Key, the shotgun houses in Punta Gorda, was built before central ducted AC was standard, and running new ductwork through original plaster and heart pine framing isn't always practical or worth the cost. A ductless mini split solves that without tearing into walls, and it's just as useful for a converted garage, a screened lanai, or an addition in Rotonda West or Punta Gorda that the main system was never sized to cover.
