Mini-Split/Ductless AC Options

[Jacob Murry]

Hi All, 

I'm looking for recommendations on alternate AC solutions in St. Louis City. To paint a quick picture - this is for a 4-family property in McKinley Heights (63104.) It's an older home and we currently use in all units a gas boiler for heating, and window units for AC. I'd like to explore options for the AC side here. I have looked into Mini-Split/Ductless Zonal AC systems. 

I'd like to hear if anyone has experience with this and may be able to provide a recommendation for a company in STL to get a consultation/quote - and if you have any information here as well that would be great. I'm trying to see if anyone would recommend this route opposed to window units (which I hate..), what the general cost would look like, how is maintenance, how is it re: energy, etc.?

Each unit is 1 bed/1 bath approx 1000 sq foot and shotgun style units. Any help is greatly appreciated!
