Solve Hot & Cold Rooms With Targeted Comfort

If parts of your home feel uncomfortable no matter how low you set the thermostat, a ductless mini split can be a practical way to fix it without a major remodel. With the right design and installation, you can get quiet, efficient comfort for the rooms that need it most.

At Air Star Now, we help homeowners in Spring and the greater Houston area use ductless systems to cool and heat bonus rooms, converted garages, upstairs spaces, and additions that traditional ductwork does not reach well. We listen to your goals, look at your home, and recommend a solution that fits how you actually live.

We are a family owned HVAC company led by native Houstonians Billy and Perla, and we have served the area for more than a decade. Our licensed, insured, and background checked technicians provide free written estimates and 24/7 service, and our work is backed by six written guarantees designed to protect your comfort and your investment.

Why Spring Homeowners Choose Air Star Now

Choosing the right team for ductless work matters as much as choosing the right equipment. A mini split that is sized or installed poorly can leave you with uneven temperatures, short cycling, and higher bills than you expected. Our goal is to design and install systems that match your home and your expectations from the start.

Co owner Billy brings more than 25 years of hands on HVAC experience to every project. He grew up working residential HVAC under his father, spent four years in commercial HVAC, then managed air conditioning, plumbing, electrical, and custom fabrication as a government contractor overseas. That problem solving mindset shapes how we plan and install ductless systems in Spring homes today.

Air Star Now holds a Texas Class A air conditioning license, TACLA36229C, which authorizes us to work on systems of any size for both residential and commercial properties. For you, that means we are qualified to handle everything from a single room mini split to multi zone designs that must align with Houston area code and safety requirements.

We also believe the way you are treated matters. Our technicians are paid on a non commission basis, and they do not receive extra pay for selling equipment. They inspect your space, explain what they see, and walk through options in plain language. You get a written estimate at no charge, and you decide how and when to move forward without sales pressure.

To reduce your risk on a new system, we back our work with six written guarantees. These include a Warranty Guarantee with 10 to 12 year parts and labor coverage on qualifying equipment and a Your Comfort Guarantee that requires us to replace the system if the temperature targets we set at installation are not met. Qualifying Heritage, Premier, and Ultimate systems also carry our Pay for Itself Guarantee, which commits us to written energy savings estimates and provides a defined remedy if those savings fall short.

Our Installation Guarantee covers damage to floors, walls, furniture, and landscaping that may occur during installation. Our Clean Coil Guarantee offers up to $500 toward coil cleaning for up to 10 years when qualifying whole home air media filters are used with annual service. Our Inconvenience Guarantee provides $400 if our response time exceeds 48 hours following a first year equipment breakdown. Together, these programs show how seriously we take performance, cleanliness, and responsiveness.

When A Ductless Mini Split Makes Sense

Many homes in Spring and north Houston rely on a central air system that struggles to keep every room comfortable. Two story floor plans often have hot upstairs bedrooms. Garage conversions and sunrooms are commonly built without new ductwork. Older homes may not have space for additional ducts at all. In these situations, a ductless mini split can be a strong option.

A ductless mini split uses a compact outdoor unit connected to one or more wall mounted indoor units by small refrigerant and electrical lines. Each indoor unit serves a specific room or zone and has its own thermostat. This gives you focused cooling and heating exactly where you need it and avoids energy loss through ductwork in attics that get extremely hot in the Houston climate.

Sometimes homeowners consider extending existing ductwork or upsizing a central system instead. Those approaches can require more invasive construction and may still leave certain rooms uncomfortable if the home’s layout or insulation is challenging. A ductless system typically requires only a small wall penetration for the line set and can be placed where airflow and comfort are most effective for that particular space.

Common signs a ductless mini split may be right for you:

• A bonus room, home office, or media room that stays warm even when the rest of the house is cool.
• An upstairs area that is several degrees hotter than downstairs during Spring and summer.
• A garage conversion, sunroom, or addition without supply and return ducts.
• High energy bills from running your central system harder just to help one or two stubborn rooms.
• Plans to finish a space where installing new ductwork would be costly or disruptive.

When we visit your home, we look at how the rooms are used, window exposure, insulation, and how your current system is performing. We then discuss whether a ductless system, improvements to the existing system, or a combination of both makes the most sense for your comfort and your budget.

Our Ductless Mini Split Installation Process

Many homeowners are interested in ductless systems but are not sure what installation will involve. We work to make the process straightforward, clean, and respectful of your time and home. From the first call to system startup, you know what to expect and who will be in your house.

During the initial visit, our technician sits down with you to understand which rooms are uncomfortable and what you want from a new system. We measure the spaces, look at insulation and window placement, and evaluate your existing HVAC equipment. Based on those findings, we design a ductless layout, explain equipment options, and provide a written estimate that clearly shows pricing before any work begins.

Once you decide to move forward, we schedule installation at a time that works for you. Our team arrives during the agreed window, protects floors and surfaces with floor savers and coverings, and wears shoe covers inside. We identify locations for indoor units where they will provide good airflow without dominating the room, and we choose outdoor unit placement that balances performance, service access, and appearance on the exterior of your home.

We then install mounting brackets for the indoor units, create a small wall opening for the refrigerant and electrical lines, and route those lines neatly to the outdoor unit. Electrical connections and refrigerant piping are completed in line with the manufacturer’s requirements and applicable codes in the greater Houston area. Throughout the job, our technicians keep tools and materials organized and communicate with you about progress.

After everything is connected, we pull a vacuum on the refrigerant lines, open the valves, and start the system. We check operation in each mode, confirm proper drains, and verify that each indoor unit responds correctly to its controls. Before we leave, we walk you through system operation, show you how to adjust settings for comfort and efficiency, and answer your questions.

Our Installation Guarantee applies if any damage to walls, floors, furniture, or landscaping occurs during the work. Our Warranty Guarantee provides 10 to 12 year parts and labor coverage on qualifying equipment. Your new ductless system also benefits from our Your Comfort Guarantee, which addresses temperature targets, and from our Inconvenience Guarantee during the first year if response times fall outside the threshold we committed to. We clean the work area, remove debris, and leave your home ready to enjoy improved comfort.

Comfort, Guarantees, Financing, & Maintenance

Once a ductless system is installed, the goal is simple. You want the rooms it serves to feel comfortable every day with as little hassle as possible. In the Spring and Houston climate, that means reliable cooling during long hot seasons and steady heating performance on colder days without constant adjustment.

With a well planned design, ductless mini splits can provide targeted comfort where central systems fall short. Wall mounted indoor units deliver conditioned air directly into the room instead of losing it through long duct runs in a hot attic. Each zone can be controlled independently, so you do not have to overcool the rest of the home just to help one problem area.

We back new ductless installations with our full set of written guarantees. The Warranty Guarantee covers qualifying equipment for 10 to 12 years, parts and labor included. Our Your Comfort Guarantee requires us to replace the system if we cannot achieve the heating and cooling targets we set for your home at installation. For Heritage, Premier, and Ultimate systems, our Pay for Itself Guarantee addresses the energy savings we estimated at the time of install and explains what happens if those savings do not materialize as planned.

The Clean Coil Guarantee provides up to $500 toward coil cleaning for up to 10 years when you use qualifying whole home air media filters and keep up with annual service. Our Inconvenience Guarantee provides $400 if our response time exceeds 48 hours after a first year equipment breakdown. These programs are written, named, and designed to give you clear expectations about how we stand behind your equipment and our work.

Our Annual Star Membership supports long term performance for ductless and traditional systems.
