You know how those unexpected Bay Area heat waves catch everyone off guard. Your neighbors scramble for portable units while you’re dealing with a house that feels like an oven by afternoon.
Ductless air conditioning changes that completely. No more sweating through another scorching October day or losing sleep during those surprise heat spells. Each room gets exactly the temperature you want, when you want it.
The best part? Your older South San Francisco home doesn’t need a complete overhaul. No tearing into walls or major construction projects. Just clean, quiet cooling that actually works.
We’ve been keeping South San Francisco comfortable since 1985. What started as a family business under Ramiro’s father became his mission in 2006 – serving this community with the same dedication and quality workmanship.
We know these older Bay Area homes inside and out. The quirks, the challenges, the perfect solutions that work without breaking your budget. Our technicians aren’t just skilled – they’re neighbors who understand what South San Francisco homeowners actually need.
That’s why we offer 15% discounts to seniors and military families. It’s our way of giving back to the community that’s supported us for nearly four decades.
Here’s how we handle your ductless installation from start to finish. First, we assess your home’s layout and cooling needs – no cookie-cutter approaches or oversized systems you don’t need.
Next comes the straightforward installation. We mount the indoor unit on your wall or ceiling, connect it to the outdoor compressor through a small conduit, and test everything thoroughly. Most single-zone installations wrap up in a day.
You’ll have individual control over each room’s temperature immediately. No waiting weeks for permits or major construction. Just reliable cooling that works the way your home actually lives.

Every ductless installation includes professional sizing, quality equipment, and proper setup for South San Francisco’s unique climate conditions. We handle single-zone systems for specific rooms and multi-zone installations for whole-home comfort.
South San Francisco’s Mediterranean climate means you need cooling that responds quickly during those sudden temperature swings. Our systems deliver instant comfort without the energy waste of traditional central air trying to cool unused spaces.
You get ultra-quiet operation – no more rattling window units disrupting your peace. Plus energy efficiency that actually shows up on your utility bills, especially important with Bay Area energy costs.
Ductless installation costs vary based on the number of zones and your home’s specific needs. Single-zone systems typically range from $3,000 to $5,000 installed, while multi-zone systems run $6,000 to $12,000 depending on coverage area.
The investment often pays for itself through energy savings compared to cooling unused spaces with central air. Plus, you avoid the major expense and disruption of installing ductwork in an older home.
We provide upfront pricing during our free consultation, so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
Absolutely. Modern ductless heat pumps provide both heating and cooling efficiently in South San Francisco’s mild climate. They work effectively even when outdoor temperatures drop, making them perfect for our Mediterranean weather patterns.
During winter, the system extracts heat from outside air and transfers it indoors. Summer operation reverses this process, removing heat from your home. You get year-round comfort from one system.
Many homeowners use ductless as their primary heating and cooling source, especially in homes without existing ductwork or where extending current systems isn’t practical.
Most single-zone installations complete in 4-6 hours. Multi-zone systems typically take a full day, sometimes extending to two days for complex layouts or multiple outdoor units.
The process involves mounting indoor units, running refrigerant lines through a small wall penetration, connecting to the outdoor compressor, and thorough system testing. No major construction or permits required.
You can use your new system immediately after installation and testing. We’ll walk you through the controls and answer any questions before we leave.
Ductless systems are actually ideal for older Bay Area homes. These houses were built before central air became standard, so adding traditional ductwork means major renovation and expense.
Ductless installation requires only a small hole through the exterior wall – about 3 inches in diameter. No tearing into walls, ceilings, or disrupting your home’s character and structure.
The systems handle older homes’ unique challenges like varying room sizes, multiple levels, and architectural details that make traditional HVAC installation complicated or impossible.
Ductless systems require minimal maintenance compared to traditional HVAC. You’ll clean or replace the indoor unit’s filter monthly during heavy use seasons – a simple task that takes just minutes.
Annual professional maintenance includes checking refrigerant levels, cleaning coils, inspecting electrical connections, and ensuring optimal performance. This prevents problems and maintains energy efficiency.
The outdoor unit needs occasional cleaning to remove debris and ensure proper airflow. Most homeowners handle basic maintenance themselves, calling us for the annual professional service.
Ductless systems typically achieve 20-30% better energy efficiency than traditional central air. They avoid the energy losses that occur through ductwork – which can account for up to 30% of cooling costs in ducted systems.
Zone control means you’re only cooling spaces you’re actually using, rather than conditioning an entire house. This targeted approach significantly reduces energy consumption and utility bills.
High-efficiency models earn ENERGY STAR ratings and may qualify for local utility rebates. The combination of efficient operation and zone control often cuts cooling costs in half compared to window units or older central systems.
