No more hot bedrooms while the living room freezes. No more cranking up the whole house just to cool one stuffy room. With ductless air conditioning, each space gets exactly what it needs.
Your mountain home has character – unique layouts, room additions, spaces that traditional systems just can’t reach effectively. Ductless mini-split systems work with your home’s personality, not against it. Each indoor unit connects to a single outdoor compressor through a small conduit, giving you individual control over every zone.
You’ll notice the difference immediately. Quiet operation that doesn’t interrupt your peaceful mountain setting. Energy efficiency that actually shows up on your utility bill. And the kind of consistent comfort that makes you wonder why you waited so long.
We’ve been keeping La Honda homes comfortable since 1985. We understand mountain properties because we’ve been working on them for 40 years.
Your elevation affects system performance differently than sea-level installations. Temperature swings between sunny and shaded areas require thoughtful design. Limited access means you need contractors who get it right the first time. We’ve learned these lessons over four decades of serving Santa Clara County’s mountain communities.
Our technicians aren’t just experienced – they’re local. They know your neighborhood, understand your climate challenges, and respect the quality standards that match La Honda’s property values. When you call, you’re getting people who’ve been solving mountain home comfort problems since before most companies existed.
We start with a thorough assessment of your home’s layout and your comfort priorities. Every mountain property is different, so we design your system specifically for your space, elevation, and usage patterns.
Installation typically takes one day. We mount the indoor units on your walls where they’ll work most effectively, run refrigerant lines through a small hole to the outdoor unit, and connect everything up. No tearing up floors, no crawling through tight attic spaces, no major construction disruption.
Once we flip the switch, you have immediate control. Each zone operates independently, so you can cool the bedroom without affecting the living room temperature. The system learns your preferences and maintains them automatically. You get a complete walkthrough of the controls and our direct number for any questions that come up.

Your ductless system includes everything needed for year-round comfort. Each indoor unit provides both heating and cooling, switching modes automatically based on your settings. Variable-speed technology adjusts output to match demand, keeping temperatures steady while minimizing energy use.
La Honda’s mountain climate makes energy efficiency crucial. Your new system will meet California’s Title 24 requirements while reducing utility costs by up to 40% compared to traditional systems. The elevation and temperature variations that challenge other systems actually work in your favor with properly sized ductless units.
We install single-zone systems for targeted comfort in specific rooms, or multi-zone systems that handle your entire home. Each indoor unit operates quietly – you’ll hear your system running, but it won’t dominate conversations or interrupt sleep. Professional installation ensures optimal performance and protects your investment in quality equipment that matches your property’s standards.
Ductless mini-split systems actually perform better in mountain climates than traditional central air. The elevation and temperature variations that challenge ducted systems work in favor of ductless technology.
Each indoor unit is sized specifically for its space and exposure, so sunny rooms get more cooling capacity while shaded areas get exactly what they need. The systems we install are designed to handle La Honda’s elevation and work efficiently in the temperature ranges your property experiences year-round.
Heat pump technology in modern ductless systems provides reliable heating even when temperatures drop, and the cooling performance remains strong during hot days. You get consistent comfort without the energy waste that comes from trying to force one central system to handle all your home’s microclimates.
Installation is surprisingly straightforward compared to adding central air. We mount indoor units on interior walls where they’ll provide optimal coverage, then run refrigerant lines through a small hole to the outdoor unit.
The whole process typically takes one day for most homes. No major construction, no tearing up floors or ceilings, no trying to squeeze ductwork through tight crawl spaces. The small refrigerant lines are much easier to route than large ducts, especially in mountain homes with unique layouts.
We handle all electrical connections, test the system thoroughly, and walk you through the controls before we leave. You can start using your new system immediately, and we provide our direct contact information for any questions that come up during your first few weeks of operation.
Ductless systems often cost less than installing central air, especially in homes that would need extensive ductwork. You’re comparing the cost of equipment and installation versus equipment, installation, and potentially major construction to route ducts.
The real savings show up in your utility bills. Ductless systems eliminate the 20-30% energy loss that’s common with ducted systems, and zone control means you’re only conditioning spaces you’re actually using. Many of our La Honda customers see 30-40% reductions in their heating and cooling costs.
We provide detailed estimates that break down equipment, installation, and projected operating costs so you can make an informed decision. Most homeowners find that the combination of lower installation costs and ongoing energy savings makes ductless systems the smart financial choice for mountain properties.
Yes, multi-zone ductless systems can absolutely handle whole-house comfort. One outdoor unit can connect to multiple indoor units, each controlled independently to maintain different temperatures in different areas.
This is particularly effective in mountain homes where different rooms have different heating and cooling needs based on sun exposure, elevation effects, and usage patterns. Your master bedroom can stay cool while the living room maintains a warmer temperature, all from the same system.
We design your system based on your home’s layout, your family’s comfort preferences, and the specific challenges of your property’s location and orientation. Most homes need 2-4 indoor units to achieve complete coverage, but the exact configuration depends on your space and priorities.
Ductless systems actually require less maintenance than traditional central air because there’s no ductwork to clean or seal. The main maintenance involves cleaning the filters in your indoor units monthly and having annual professional service.
The filters are easily accessible and washable – no special tools or replacement parts needed. This takes about five minutes per unit and keeps your system running efficiently while maintaining good air quality in your home.
Professional maintenance includes cleaning the outdoor unit, checking refrigerant levels, and ensuring all connections remain secure. Because ductless systems have fewer moving parts and no ductwork to maintain, they typically have lower long-term maintenance costs than central systems while providing more reliable operation.
Modern ductless systems operate very quietly – typically around 19-23 decibels for the indoor units, which is quieter than most refrigerators. You’ll know the system is running, but it won’t interfere with conversations, TV watching, or sleep.
This is especially important in La Honda’s peaceful mountain setting where you don’t want mechanical noise disrupting the natural quiet. The outdoor unit produces some sound, but we position it thoughtfully to minimize impact on your outdoor spaces and neighbor relations.
Variable-speed technology means the system runs at lower speeds most of the time, staying even quieter while maintaining your desired temperature. During peak demand periods, the system may run at higher speeds and produce more sound, but this is temporary and still significantly quieter than traditional air conditioning systems.
