Additions, Bonus Rooms, and Outbuildings

Andover sits on Wichita's east side, and it's a regular part of our service area. We handle everything from air conditioning and furnace work to mini-splits for additions and bonus rooms, plus commercial maintenance for local businesses.

It is the one town of the three outside Sedgwick County — Andover is in Butler — and the practical difference shows up in the buildings. Lots run larger toward the county line, houses are newer and taller on average, and a lot of them carry conditioned square footage that was added after the original system was sized. That is the work we get called for here.

On larger properties and outbuildings, in-floor heating and mini-splits are often the practical answer where extending ductwork isn't.

Where the ductwork runs out

The Rooms a Ducted System Never Quite Reaches

Four places in an Andover house where the trunk line was never really designed to go, and what usually gets put in instead.

  • The bonus room over the garage

    It has an unconditioned garage below it, outside walls on three sides, and a duct run that leaves the trunk further from the air handler than anything else in the house. A room like that is the last to get warm and the last to get cool, and adding a register rarely fixes it because the air is not arriving with much left in it. A single ductless head puts the capacity in the room instead of trying to push it there.

  • The addition and the enclosed porch

    Square footage added after the fact is square footage the original system was never sized to carry. Sometimes the existing equipment has the capacity and only needs the distribution solved; sometimes it does not, and loading it further makes the whole house worse. Which of the two you have is a calculation, not a guess, and it is the first thing we work out.

  • The detached shop or barn

    On the larger lots out toward the county line, running a duct from the house is usually impractical and often impossible. A ductless system needs a line set and a power supply and nothing else, which is why it is the common answer in an outbuilding. In-floor heat is the other, and it is worth considering before a slab goes down rather than after.

  • The room that is fine except in January

    A space that cools acceptably and heats badly, or the reverse, is usually telling you the balance is off rather than that the equipment is failing. That is worth measuring before anything gets replaced.

If one room in the house is the reason you are on this page, that is the room to tell us about first.

Two Ways Around a Duct Run

What goes in where the ductwork never reached and extending it is not the answer.

From our own work

Ductless, Installed

An indoor head goes where the people are and the compressor goes on the wall outside. Between them is a line set and a hole the size of your fist — which is the whole reason this works in a room a duct cannot reach.

  • Mini-split outdoor unit mounted on the corrugated metal wall of a shop building

The Half of the House Nobody Sized For

A garage gets built, and then a room goes over it. A porch gets enclosed. A shop goes up at the back of the lot. Each one adds space the original system was never asked to carry, and each one is a different answer — sometimes a duct modification, sometimes a ductless head, sometimes in-floor heat before the concrete goes down. We work out which before anything is quoted.

Andover questions

What Andover Callers Ask Us

The five that come up most on jobs in town.

Andover is in Butler County. Do you actually come out this far?
Yes. Andover is a regular part of our service area and has been for years, and the county line makes no difference to it — we are licensed to work in Kansas, not in one county of it. There is no separate charge for the distance.
The bonus room over our garage is unusable in summer. Can that be fixed without redoing the ductwork?
Usually, yes. That room is the hardest one in the house for a ducted system to serve — it sits over an unconditioned garage with outside walls on three sides, at the far end of the longest run. A single ductless head puts the capacity in the room rather than trying to push it there, on its own thermostat, without touching the rest of the system. We look at the room and the existing equipment together before recommending it, because occasionally the duct really is the cheaper fix.
Can a mini-split heat, or is it just air conditioning?
It heats. A ductless system is a heat pump, so it runs in both directions, and heating a single room with one is generally the cheaper way to do it than extending a gas system out to that room. What it will not do is replace a whole-house furnace, and we will say so if that is what you actually need.
We are putting up a shop at the back of the property. What should we do about heat?
Decide before the slab goes down, because in-floor heating is straightforward to install at that point and expensive to retrofit afterwards. If the concrete is already there, ductless is usually the answer. Either way it is worth a conversation early — this is one of the few HVAC decisions where the timing changes the options rather than just the price.
Do you handle commercial buildings in Andover?
Yes. Rooftop units, boilers, chillers, make-up air units, paint booths, and walk-in coolers and freezers, on quarterly, semi-annual or annual maintenance schedules as well as for repair. Commercial maintenance for local businesses is a standing part of what we do here.
