Active Air LLC can help you with your Home Comfort Needs

If you’ve lived in Connecticut for a few winters, you know the struggle. Maybe your upstairs bedrooms stay freezing while the living room is stifling, or perhaps you’re tired of watching your oil or propane bill skyrocket every January.


At Active Air LLC, we believe you shouldn't have to choose between comfort and your budget. That’s why more and more of our neighbors in Bridgeport, Shelton, and Trumbull are making the switch to Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pumps.

Here is why this "all-in-one" solution is changing the game for Connecticut homes.


1. High Efficiency, Low Energy Bills

Traditional central air and heating systems lose a lot of energy—up to 30%—through leaky or poorly insulated ductwork. Ductless systems deliver conditioned air directly into the room. Because they use advanced inverter technology to maintain steady temperatures (rather than constantly kicking on and off at full blast), homeowners often see a significant drop in their monthly utility costs.


2. Precise Comfort with "Zoning"

Does your family fight over the thermostat? With a multi-zone mini-split system, you can set the temperature in the kitchen to 68°F while keeping the nursery at a cozy 72°F. You only heat or cool the rooms you’re actually using, which is better for your wallet and the planet.

3. The Perfect Solution for Older Homes and Additions

Many beautiful historic homes in Fairfield County weren't built with ductwork. Installing it now would mean tearing into plaster walls and losing closet space. A mini-split installation is non-invasive; we only need a small three-inch hole to connect the indoor and outdoor units. They are also the #1 choice for:

  • Finished basements or attics
  • Home offices
  • Sunrooms and garage conversions


4. Year-Round Performance (Even in CT Winters!)

Don't let the name "Heat Pump" fool you—these systems provide powerful air conditioning in the summer and reliable heat in the winter. Modern cold-climate models are designed to keep your home warm even when the Connecticut temperature drops well below freezing.


5. Breathe Easier

Ductwork is notorious for collecting dust, allergens, and pet dander, which then get blown all over your house. Ductless systems feature multi-stage filtration that traps pollutants locally, significantly improving the indoor air quality for your family.


Ready to Upgrade Your Comfort?

At Active Air, we pride ourselves on "Exceeding expectations, one trusted service at a time." Whether you want to supplement your current heating system or go fully ductless, our team is here to help you find the right fit for your home.
