The Queen City’s weather swings from humid summers to brisk winters, making energy-efficient heating and cooling a top priority for local homeowners. Mini split heat pumps solve that challenge by delivering targeted comfort without the ductwork and energy loss of traditional HVAC. CountBricks has become the trusted partner for Cincinnati residents who want a faster, clearer path to mini split success—complete with AI-generated estimates, real-time material pricing, and field-ready installation crews.
• Zoned comfort: Condition only the rooms you’re using and cut wasted energy.
• High SEER ratings: Mini splits often double the efficiency of dated furnace/AC combos.
• No ducts, no dust: Ideal for historic Cincinnati homes where ductwork is impossible or invasive.
• Heat and cool: Modern inverter compressors switch modes instantly, keeping rooms steady year-round.
Instant AI Estimates
Within a live voice call, CountBricks Capture™ records your room sizes, insulation levels, and electrical service, then generates a precise mini split load calculation and cost breakdown. No more waiting days for a paper quote—your price appears before the phone call ends.
Real-Time Material Pricing
Mini split equipment costs fluctuate with supply chain pressures. CountBricks links directly to supplier APIs, updating condenser, line-set, and mounting hardware prices every few minutes. You lock in a price the moment you approve the estimate.
Blueprint Takeoffs for Remodels
If you are renovating a multi-family in Over-the-Rhine or finishing a Hyde Park attic, upload your plans to CountBricks.com/takeoffs. Our AI traces wall lengths and ceiling volumes, then positions the right BTU head in each zone—saving hours of manual markup.
1. Virtual walk-through: A CountBricks project manager joins you on a video call, noting wall types, panel capacity, and drain locations.
2. Final estimate & e-signature: Review the AI scope, line-item pricing, and timeline. Sign digitally to schedule.
3. Permit & procurement: CountBricks pulls City of Cincinnati permits and orders equipment at the locked-in price.
4. On-site installation: Licensed technicians mount the outdoor unit, run insulated line-sets, vacuum and pressure-test, then commission the system.
5. Post-install verification: Thermal imaging confirms even coverage, and you receive a digital warranty packet in your CountBricks dashboard.
• Number of indoor heads: Each room adds equipment and labor.
• Line-set length: Longer runs in multi-story homes require more copper and conduit.
• Electrical upgrades: Older 100-amp services may need a sub-panel to power the heat pump.
• Mounting surface: Brick facades common in Clifton require specialized brackets and vibration pads.
• Seasonal demand: Prices rise in mid-summer; CountBricks monitors supplier trends to suggest off-peak scheduling.
Cincinnati’s average electric rate hovers around 13¢/kWh. Replacing a 70%-efficient gas furnace and 10-SEER AC with a 22-SEER mini split saves roughly 35-45% on annual utility spend. Most homeowners see payback in 4-6 years, accelerated by Duke Energy rebates that CountBricks files on your behalf.
Do mini splits work below freezing?
Yes. CountBricks specifies hyper-heat units that maintain 100% capacity down to 5°F—well below Cincinnati’s typical winter lows.
Will I need to remove my existing ducts?
No. You can keep the ducts for backup or decommission them. Mini splits operate entirely independently.
How loud are the indoor heads?
Most heads run at 22-30 dB—quieter than a library. CountBricks technicians isolate wall penetrations with acoustic foam to prevent vibration.

A 1920s Craftsman on Linwood Avenue battled uneven temperatures and high gas bills. The owner contacted CountBricks for a mini split solution.
• 2,400-sq-ft, two-story layout
• Goal: Eliminate radiator heat and window AC units
• Timeline: 7 working days, start to finish
1. AI load calculations recommended a 36,000-BTU condenser paired with four wall-mount heads.
2. Our takeoff engine routed line-sets through unused chimney chases, preserving original woodwork.
3. Real-time supplier feeds revealed a price drop on the selected condenser, saving the client $480 before they signed.
• 41% reduction in annual energy costs, verified through 12-month utility data imported into the CountBricks dashboard.
• Even temperatures across all rooms—no more freezing bedrooms over the porch.
• Interior aesthetics preserved thanks to zero-duct design.
• Book off-season: Schedule installs in early spring or late fall when supplier discounts peak.
• Combine electrical upgrades: Adding a service panel during mini split work avoids a second permit fee later.
• Leverage rebates: CountBricks files all paperwork, so you capture every available incentive without the headache.
