Why Missouri Contractors & Builders Should Be Buying Their Mini Split Systems from GKC

The HVAC Market Is Shifting—Don’t Get Left Behind

Right now, the mini split market is exploding across the U.S. and especially in Missouri. Here’s what you need to know:

• The global mini split market was valued at over $45 billion in 2020, and it’s expected to grow past $68 billion by 2025.

• In the U.S., ductless systems are gaining ground fast. The American market alone hit $1.4 billion in 2024, and it’s projected to hit nearly $2.4 billion by 2034.

• More than 40% of new homes now include ductless or hybrid HVAC systems.

• Contractors and builders who offer mini split options are seeing a 20% increase in project closing rates, especially with younger homebuyers and energy-conscious investors.

Why? Because clients want:

• Lower energy bills

• Faster installs

• Zoned temperature control

• Modern, clean design

And mini splits—especially the PEAQ, Cooper & Hunter, and OLMO units we carry—check all those boxes.

Spotlight: Why the PEAQ System Is a Game-Changer for Contractors

Let’s talk specifically about the PEAQ mini split system, now available at GKC.

This system is:

• Flexible: PEAQ is compatible with a wide range of indoor air handlers. You can mix and match on installs—perfect for custom homes, remodels, or barndominiums.

• Smart: Automatic voltage detection means no rewiring headaches during installation.

• Efficient: Built with inverter technology that reduces energy use while maximizing performance.

• Quiet: Your clients will love how silent it runs—perfect for bedrooms, offices, and living rooms.

• Reliable: Built in the same factory that produces Cooper & Hunter units and backed by a 10-year warranty.

If you're running projects where time, appearance, and performance matter, the PEAQ system is the ideal upgrade.

Real Stats. Real Savings. Real Results.

Contractors who use GKC mini splits save money—not just on install, but long term too. Here’s what the data shows:

• Mini splits cut energy costs by 30–40% compared to traditional HVAC systems.

• Switching to a high SEER system (like the ones we carry) can save homeowners $300 to $500 per year in utility bills.

• ENERGY STAR® ductless systems offer 10% to 30% better performance than standard systems.

• Many units qualify for federal tax credits and rebates, adding up to $8,000+ in client savings over the system’s lifespan.

And for you, the contractor?
That means a more valuable service offering, higher close rates, more referrals, and systems you can install without calling a second crew.
