Your home finally feels comfortable everywhere. No more hot bedrooms while the living room freezes. No more arguing over the thermostat setting.
Ductless air conditioning gives you individual control over each room’s temperature. Your teenager can keep their room arctic while you maintain a comfortable 72 degrees in the master bedroom. Everyone’s happy, and you’re not wasting energy cooling empty rooms.
The system runs whisper-quiet, so you won’t even know it’s working. Just consistent, comfortable temperatures exactly where you want them.
We’ve been solving Foster City’s cooling challenges since 1985. We understand how Mediterranean climates affect your HVAC system and what works reliably in your specific conditions.
We’re not some fly-by-night operation or a one-person show that takes weeks to return calls. Our experienced technicians live and work in this community. When your system needs attention, you’re calling neighbors who understand Foster City’s unique weather patterns and home designs.
We’ve earned the trust of local families by showing up when we say we will, diagnosing problems correctly the first time, and standing behind our work.
We start with a thorough assessment of your home’s layout and cooling needs. Every house is different, and cookie-cutter solutions don’t work. We measure spaces, evaluate existing electrical, and determine the best locations for indoor and outdoor units.
Installation typically takes one day for most homes. We mount the indoor units on walls in optimal positions for airflow, connect them to the outdoor unit through small holes in the wall, and test everything to ensure proper operation. No major construction, no tearing up walls, no mess.
After installation, we walk you through the system controls and maintenance requirements. You’ll know exactly how to operate your new system and what to expect for ongoing care.

Foster City’s Mediterranean climate creates specific cooling demands. Dry summers with temperatures in the 70s and 80s require efficient systems that don’t waste energy fighting humidity. Our ductless installations are sized and configured specifically for Bay Area conditions.
Many Foster City homes were built before central air became standard. Adding ductwork means tearing into walls, ceilings, and potentially compromising your home’s structure. Ductless systems work with your existing architecture, preserving your home’s character while delivering modern comfort.
We handle all Title 24 compliance requirements and permitting. California’s energy efficiency standards are complex, but we navigate them daily. Your installation will meet all code requirements and qualify for available rebates and incentives.
Ductless system costs vary based on the number of indoor units and your home’s specific requirements. Single-zone systems typically start around $3,000-$5,000 installed, while multi-zone systems range from $6,000-$12,000 depending on coverage area and equipment selection.
The investment pays for itself through energy savings. Ductless systems avoid the 30% energy loss common with traditional ducted systems. Most Foster City homeowners see noticeable reductions in their utility bills, especially during peak summer months.
We provide detailed estimates that include equipment, installation, permits, and warranty coverage. No surprises, no hidden fees. You’ll know exactly what to expect before we start work.
Yes, most ductless systems are heat pumps that provide both heating and cooling. They work efficiently in Foster City’s mild winter climate, extracting heat from outdoor air even when temperatures drop.
Heat pump technology has advanced significantly. Modern systems operate effectively down to the teens, well below anything Foster City experiences. You get year-round comfort from a single system, eliminating the need for separate heating and cooling equipment.
During winter months, the same indoor units that cooled your home in summer will warm it efficiently. The system automatically switches between heating and cooling modes based on your thermostat settings.
Most residential ductless installations complete in one day. Simple single-zone systems often finish in 4-6 hours, while complex multi-zone installations may take 6-8 hours depending on the number of indoor units and electrical requirements.
We schedule installations to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Our technicians arrive on time with all necessary equipment and materials. The actual installation involves mounting indoor units, connecting refrigerant lines through small wall penetrations, and testing system operation.
Weather rarely affects installation schedules in Foster City. Our Mediterranean climate allows year-round installation, so you don’t have to wait for specific seasons to upgrade your comfort system.
Ductless systems are exceptionally reliable in Mediterranean climates like Foster City’s. The dry air and moderate temperatures create ideal operating conditions. These systems actually perform better here than in humid or extreme climates.
Quality ductless systems from reputable manufacturers typically last 15-20 years with proper maintenance. The outdoor units are designed to withstand weather exposure, while indoor units operate in controlled environments with minimal wear.
Regular maintenance keeps systems running efficiently. We recommend annual service visits to clean filters, check refrigerant levels, and ensure optimal performance. Preventive care prevents most problems before they affect your comfort.
Ductless systems are perfect for older homes that lack existing ductwork. Many Foster City homes were built when central air wasn’t standard. Adding traditional ducted systems requires major renovation and often isn’t feasible in established neighborhoods.
Ductless installation works with your home’s existing structure. We only need access to exterior walls for refrigerant line connections and adequate electrical service. Most older homes easily accommodate these requirements without structural modifications.
The systems actually complement older home architecture. Indoor units mount discretely on walls and ceiling-mounted options blend into existing design elements. You get modern comfort without compromising your home’s character.
Ductless systems require minimal maintenance compared to traditional HVAC equipment. Monthly filter cleaning or replacement keeps indoor air quality high and maintains efficient operation. Most homeowners handle this simple task themselves.
Annual professional service addresses refrigerant levels, electrical connections, and thorough system cleaning. Foster City’s dry climate reduces maintenance demands since there’s less humidity to cause mold or corrosion issues.
We offer maintenance programs that include scheduled service visits, priority emergency response, and discounts on repairs. Regular maintenance extends system life, maintains energy efficiency, and prevents unexpected breakdowns during peak cooling season.
