We’ve been keeping Millbrae families comfortable since 1985. What started as a family business continues today under second-generation leadership, with the same commitment to quality service that built our reputation.
We understand Millbrae’s unique climate challenges—from the Mediterranean weather patterns to the housing stock that dates back to the 1960s. Many of your neighbors’ homes were built before air conditioning was standard, which is exactly why ductless systems work so well here.
Our experienced technicians aren’t just passing through. We’re local professionals who understand Bay Area homes and the specific cooling needs of families in this community.
We start with a thorough assessment of your home’s cooling needs, room by room. Every Millbrae property has unique characteristics—room layouts, sun exposure, insulation levels—that affect how your ductless system should be designed.
Next, we provide clear recommendations and transparent pricing. No surprises, no pressure tactics. Just honest advice about what will work best for your specific situation and budget.
Installation happens efficiently with minimal disruption to your daily routine. Our team respects your property and cleans up completely before leaving. We test everything thoroughly and walk you through your new system’s operation, making sure you’re comfortable with all the controls and features before we consider the job complete.

Your ductless air conditioning installation includes everything needed for reliable, long-term performance. We handle system sizing, equipment selection, professional installation, and thorough testing to ensure optimal efficiency from day one.
Millbrae’s housing market presents unique opportunities for ductless systems. Many homes in your area were built in the 1960s, before central air conditioning was standard. Rather than tearing into walls and ceilings to install ductwork, ductless systems provide modern comfort with minimal home modification.
Single-zone systems work perfectly for home additions, converted garages, or that one room that never stays comfortable. Multi-zone systems can handle whole-home cooling, giving you independent temperature control in every area while using just one outdoor unit.
Ductless system costs in Millbrae typically range from $3,000 to $8,000 for single-zone installations, while multi-zone systems serving whole homes can range from $8,000 to $15,000 or more, depending on the number of indoor units and system complexity.
Several factors affect your final investment: the number of rooms you want to cool, the size and layout of your home, the efficiency rating you choose, and any electrical upgrades needed. Millbrae’s older housing stock sometimes requires additional electrical work to support modern HVAC equipment.
We provide transparent, upfront pricing with detailed estimates that break down all costs clearly. No hidden fees or surprise charges after work begins. We’ll also discuss available financing options and help you understand any rebates or incentives that might apply to your specific installation.
Yes, modern ductless heat pump systems provide both heating and cooling, making them ideal for Millbrae’s Mediterranean climate where temperatures typically range from the mid-40s to low 80s throughout the year.
These systems work efficiently in our local temperature range, providing heat during those chilly winter mornings and reliable cooling during warm summer afternoons. Unlike traditional heating systems that burn fuel, ductless heat pumps move heat rather than create it, making them significantly more energy-efficient for both heating and cooling.
During Millbrae’s mild winters, your ductless system can often heat your home for a fraction of the cost of traditional gas furnaces. The same system that keeps you cool in July will keep you warm in January, with the convenience of year-round comfort from a single, quiet system.
Most ductless installations in Millbrae homes are completed in one to two days, depending on the number of indoor units and the complexity of your specific installation requirements.
Single-zone systems typically take 4-6 hours to install completely. Multi-zone systems serving multiple rooms usually require 1-2 full days, with most of that time spent on careful indoor unit placement and refrigerant line installation. We work efficiently while maintaining attention to detail that ensures long-term system performance.
The installation process involves mounting indoor units, installing the outdoor condenser, running refrigerant lines between units, and completing electrical connections. We minimize disruption to your daily routine and clean up thoroughly before considering any job complete. Most homeowners are surprised by how quickly they’re enjoying comfortable temperatures throughout their home.
Ductless systems are actually ideal for Millbrae’s older housing stock, particularly homes built in the 1960s and earlier that lack existing ductwork or have inadequate cooling systems.
Many Millbrae homes were built before air conditioning was standard, making ductwork installation expensive and disruptive. Ductless systems provide modern comfort without major renovations. The small refrigerant lines can be routed through existing walls with minimal impact, and indoor units can be positioned to work with your home’s unique architectural features.
Older homes often have rooms that are difficult to cool with traditional systems—sunrooms, converted spaces, room additions, or areas with unique layouts. Ductless systems excel in these situations, providing targeted comfort exactly where you need it most. The individual zone control also means you’re not wasting energy cooling unused spaces in larger, older homes.
Ductless systems require minimal maintenance compared to traditional HVAC systems, but regular care ensures optimal performance and extends system life in Millbrae’s coastal climate conditions.
Basic maintenance includes cleaning the indoor unit filters monthly during heavy use periods—a simple task that takes just a few minutes per unit. The outdoor unit should be kept clear of debris, leaves, and vegetation to maintain proper airflow. We recommend professional maintenance annually to clean coils, check refrigerant levels, and inspect electrical connections.
Millbrae’s coastal location means your outdoor unit may accumulate salt air residue over time, which professional cleaning addresses effectively. Regular maintenance prevents minor issues from becoming expensive repairs and keeps your system running efficiently. Most maintenance visits pay for themselves through improved energy efficiency and prevented breakdowns, especially during peak cooling season when you need your system most.
The choice between single-zone and multi-zone systems depends on your cooling needs, home layout, and budget, with each option offering distinct advantages for different Millbrae home situations.
Single-zone systems work perfectly for specific problem areas—that hot bedroom, converted garage, home office, or room addition that never stays comfortable with your existing system. They’re more affordable upfront and ideal when you need targeted cooling in one area while keeping your existing HVAC system for the rest of your home.
Multi-zone systems make sense when you want whole-home comfort or need to cool several rooms independently. One outdoor unit can support multiple indoor units, giving you individual temperature control in different areas while being more cost-effective than installing multiple single-zone systems. Multi-zone systems also provide better aesthetics with just one outdoor unit rather than several.
