Since 1988, Tin Man Heating & Cooling has been the trusted choice for ductless HVAC in Bowling Green, Findlay, and across Northwest Ohio. Whether you need a new system installed, repairs for an existing unit, or seasonal maintenance, our team has the expertise to keep your home comfortable year-round.
Unlike central AC and heating, which pushes air through bulky ductwork, ductless mini-splits use small indoor units mounted on the wall to condition each room directly. These units are powered by a single outdoor compressor, with refrigerant lines connecting everything together. The result is room-by-room comfort control without the cost and hassle of adding ducts.
Mini-splits are especially popular in older Bowling Green homes without ductwork, in additions like sunrooms or finished basements, or in multi-level houses where central systems struggle to distribute air evenly.
Room-by-Room Comfort: No more hot upstairs bedrooms or cold basement rec rooms. Mini-splits let you set different temperatures in different spaces so everyone in the home stays comfortable.
Flexible Installation: Because no ducts are required, mini-splits are a great fit for older homes, finished attics, or any area where running ductwork would be expensive or impractical.
Energy Efficiency: Only heat or cool the rooms you’re actually using, rather than the whole house. This zoning ability helps lower utility bills compared to traditional systems.
Quiet Operation: Ductless systems are much quieter than window units or older central HVAC. Most run at a whisper, making them ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, or home offices.

The cost depends on how many indoor units you need, the system’s efficiency, and the complexity of installation. In general, mini-splits cost more upfront than window units but less than installing full ductwork. Many Ohio homeowners find the energy savings and rebates help offset the investment.
Yes. Modern cold-climate mini-splits are built to provide strong heating even when temperatures dip into the teens—common in Bowling Green and Findlay winters. For the coldest nights, some homeowners choose to pair them with a backup furnace.
With regular maintenance, mini-splits typically last 12–15 years. Annual tune-ups help extend their lifespan and keep them efficient.
The indoor air filters should be cleaned or replaced regularly—often every month or two during peak use. Beyond that, annual professional service is important to clean coils, check refrigerant lines, and ensure the system is running properly.
Yes. Mini-splits are known for their whisper-quiet operation. The outdoor unit makes less noise than a traditional AC, and the indoor units are often quieter than a ceiling fan.
It’s not recommended. Proper installation requires handling refrigerant, electrical work, and careful system sizing. DIY attempts can lead to poor performance, leaks, or even voided warranties. A licensed HVAC contractor ensures the system runs safely and efficiently.
