You’re not dealing with torn-up walls, dusty construction zones, or months of disruption. Ductless systems install in hours, not weeks, because they work with your existing space instead of fighting it.
Your energy bills drop because these systems only cool the rooms you’re actually using. No more paying to condition empty bedrooms or hallways you walk through twice a day.
Each room gets its own temperature control, which means no more family arguments about the thermostat. The kids can keep their rooms arctic while you maintain something reasonable in the living room.
We’ve been solving cooling problems in Santa Clara County since 1985. We’re the company your neighbors have been calling for nearly four decades because we show up when we say we will and fix what needs fixing.
Ramiro took over from his father in 2006, keeping the same straightforward approach that built this business. We’re not the cheapest option in Ladera, and we’re not trying to be.
Our technicians have been with us for years, not months. They know these systems inside and out because they’ve been installing and maintaining them long enough to see what actually works and what breaks down.
We start with a proper assessment of your home’s cooling needs, not a quick walk-through with a clipboard. Every room is different, and your system should account for that.
The outdoor unit gets mounted in the most efficient location – usually on a concrete pad or wall bracket where it won’t create noise issues for you or your neighbors. We run the refrigerant lines through a small hole in your wall, connecting to the indoor units.
Indoor units mount high on your walls where they can distribute air effectively throughout each room. The whole installation typically takes one day for most homes, and you’re cooling that same evening. We test everything thoroughly before we leave and clean up after ourselves because that’s just standard practice.

Every installation includes proper system sizing using Manual J load calculations, not guesswork. Your system will be the right capacity for your space, which means it runs efficiently and lasts longer.
We handle all permits and inspections because that’s part of doing the job correctly. You shouldn’t have to chase down paperwork or deal with city offices – that’s our responsibility.
In Ladera’s climate, you need systems that handle both the warm days and the cooler evenings without cycling on and off constantly. We install equipment rated for your specific conditions, not whatever happens to be on the truck. Our service includes proper refrigerant charging, electrical connections that meet code, and condensate drainage that actually works long-term.
Installation costs depend on how many rooms you’re cooling and the complexity of your home’s layout. Single-zone systems typically run $3,000-$5,000 installed, while multi-zone systems range from $6,000-$12,000 depending on the number of indoor units.
The price includes everything: equipment, installation, permits, and startup. We don’t quote low and add fees later because that wastes everyone’s time. Higher-efficiency models cost more upfront but qualify for utility rebates and save money on your electric bill long-term.
Yes, when properly designed and installed. Multi-zone systems can handle homes up to 3,000 square feet or more, depending on your layout and insulation. Each indoor unit typically covers 400-1,500 square feet effectively.
The key is proper sizing and placement. We calculate the cooling load for each room individually, not just guess based on square footage. Open floor plans work particularly well because air circulates naturally between spaces.
Some homes benefit from a hybrid approach – ductless for main living areas and existing central air for bedrooms. We’ll recommend what actually makes sense for your situation, not what generates the highest sale.
Most residential installations complete in 6-8 hours for single-zone systems, or 8-12 hours for multi-zone systems. We typically finish same-day unless we encounter unexpected electrical issues that require permits.
The process involves mounting the outdoor unit, running refrigerant lines through small holes in your walls, mounting indoor units, making electrical connections, and testing the complete system. We schedule installations to start early so you’re cooling by evening.
Weather delays are rare since most of the work happens indoors. We’ll reschedule if conditions aren’t safe for outdoor work, but that’s uncommon in Ladera’s climate.
Modern ductless heat pumps provide both heating and cooling efficiently. They work well in Ladera’s mild winters, maintaining comfort down to about 25°F outside temperature. Below that, efficiency drops but the system continues operating.
Heat pump technology has improved significantly – today’s systems produce heat even when it’s cold outside by extracting warmth from outdoor air. They’re much more efficient than electric baseboard heaters or wall units.
For homes that currently use gas heat, ductless can supplement your existing system or replace it entirely depending on your preferences and utility costs. We’ll calculate the operating costs for both options so you can make an informed decision.
Monthly filter cleaning is the main homeowner responsibility – just pull out the filter, rinse it with water, let it dry, and reinstall. Takes about five minutes per indoor unit.
Professional maintenance should happen annually and includes cleaning the indoor coils, checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical connections, and cleaning the outdoor unit. This prevents most breakdowns and keeps your warranty valid.
We offer maintenance plans that include priority scheduling, discounted repairs, and reminders when service is due. Regular maintenance typically pays for itself through improved efficiency and fewer emergency calls during peak season.
Quality ductless systems run much quieter than most central air systems. Indoor units typically operate at 19-23 decibels, which is quieter than a whisper. You’ll hear them cycle on and off, but they won’t interfere with conversation or sleep.
Outdoor units are comparable to central air condensers in noise level, but they’re often smaller and can be positioned away from bedrooms and patios. Proper installation includes vibration dampening and consideration for neighbor proximity.
Cheap systems can be noisy, which is why we install name-brand equipment with good sound ratings. The slight price difference is worth it for the improved comfort and fewer complaints from family members.
