Ductless Mini-Split Installation & Repair
Most homes on this stretch of the South Shore were built long before central air was standard. A ductless mini-split is usually the least invasive way to add real cooling — and, with a heat pump model, efficient heating through the winter as well.
Quincy’s median home was built in 1958, and more than a third of the city’s housing units went up before 1940. That covers a lot of ground: the three-deckers that filled North Quincy when it was developed as a rail-commuter suburb, the pre-war singles and two-families through Wollaston and Quincy Point, and the postwar Capes and ranches that followed.
What those homes have in common is that almost none of them were designed around ducted air. Retrofitting full ductwork usually means opening walls, dropping ceilings, or giving up closet space. A mini-split doesn’t ask for any of that. One small line set through an exterior wall connects an outdoor compressor to one or more indoor units, and you get room-by-room cooling and heating without disturbing the heating system you already have.

We connect homeowners across Quincy, Milton, Braintree, and Weymouth with local mini-split installers and repair technicians.
Quincy’s pre-war three-deckers, Milton’s genuinely old historic-district homes, Weymouth’s 18th- and 19th-century stock, and Braintree’s 1960s ranches and splits each call for a different approach to sizing and placement.
Mass Save pays up to $8,500 per home, and Quincy adds a real Community First Partnership plus Designated Equity Community status. Braintree is a genuine exception — its municipal utility puts it outside Mass Save entirely. See our rebate guide.

Yes. Any system that handles refrigerant requires a licensed HVAC or refrigeration technician, and every mini-split does. Every contractor we connect you with carries their own license.
Usually, yes — that’s most of the housing stock here. Quincy’s median home dates to 1958, and more than a third predate 1940. Homes from those eras were built around radiator, baseboard, or non-ducted heat.
