Hear from Our Customers
Your home stays comfortable year-round. No more adjusting the thermostat every few hours when the fog rolls in. No more wondering if your system will quit during those unexpected September heat waves.
Properly sized ductless AC systems give you consistent temperatures in every room, even when Montara’s coastal conditions are doing their worst. The salt air that corrodes other systems won’t destroy your investment when it’s installed with the right components and expertise.
You get individual room control, lower energy bills, and the peace of mind that comes from equipment designed specifically for coastal challenges.
We’ve been solving HVAC problems in Santa Clara County since 1985. Ramiro took over this family business from his father in 2006, and over the decades, one thing became clear: coastal air conditioning needs different expertise.
The salt air, constant fog, and marine conditions create challenges that inland contractors miss completely. That’s why our focus is on ductless solutions designed specifically for coastal California homes.
Local homeowners – especially seniors – trust us because we understand Montara’s unique climate. We offer 15% discounts for seniors and military members, and we’re actively involved in community sponsorships because this is our home too.
First, we assess your home’s specific needs. This includes evaluating your home’s size, layout, insulation, and how Montara’s coastal conditions affect your comfort. No quick sales pitches – just thorough analysis.
Then you get a detailed estimate breaking down exactly what work needs to be done and why. Installation typically takes one to two days depending on zones needed. Small holes for refrigerant lines, electrical connections, thorough testing.
We clean up completely and walk you through the system’s operation before leaving. You’ll know how to use every feature and what to expect from your new ductless AC system.

We install single-zone and multi-zone ductless systems, all specifically rated for coastal environments. Every installation includes load calculations factoring in Montara’s climate, your home’s construction, insulation levels, and sun exposure.
These systems provide year-round heating and cooling with individual room control. Cool your bedroom without wasting energy on empty rooms. Heat your living room without warming the entire house.
Smart thermostat controls, advanced filtration, and components designed to resist salt air corrosion come standard. The equipment handles Montara’s marine environment without the frequent breakdowns that plague standard systems near the coast.
Ductless AC installation in Montara typically runs $3,000 to $6,000 for single-zone systems and $8,000 to $15,000+ for whole-home multi-zone installations. Your actual cost depends on your home’s specific requirements and coastal installation considerations.
Factors affecting price include the number of zones needed, your home’s size and layout, and installation complexity. Coastal installations often require salt-resistant components and enhanced drainage systems for high humidity conditions.
You’ll receive detailed, upfront estimates breaking down all costs. Our pricing includes proper load calculations, coastal-rated equipment, professional installation, and thorough testing to ensure reliable performance in Montara’s challenging marine environment.
Yes, when properly sized and installed with coastal-rated components. Standard ductless systems often fail in coastal environments because most contractors don’t understand the specific challenges salt air and marine conditions create.
Montara’s salt air causes standard metal components to corrode up to ten times faster than inland areas. The constant fog and marine air create humidity loads requiring specific system sizing and drainage considerations that generic installations miss.
We use equipment specifically designed for coastal conditions. Our load calculations factor in Montara’s unique climate, ensuring your system handles both temperature and humidity effectively while resisting the salt air corrosion that destroys improperly specified equipment.
Most ductless AC installations in Montara take one to two days. Single-zone systems often complete in one day, while multi-zone systems typically require two days depending on your home’s layout and the number of indoor units needed.
The process involves drilling small holes for refrigerant lines, mounting indoor and outdoor units, running electrical connections, and thoroughly testing the system. Coastal installations may take slightly longer due to additional weatherproofing and drainage requirements.
We never rush installations because proper setup is critical for long-term performance in coastal environments. We clean up completely and walk you through system operation before leaving, ensuring you’re comfortable with all controls and features.
Yes, ductless systems in Montara need more frequent attention than inland installations due to salt air exposure. We recommend professional maintenance at least twice yearly – ideally in spring before summer heat and fall before winter weather arrives.
Between professional visits, rinse your outdoor unit with fresh water monthly to remove salt buildup. This simple step significantly extends your system’s life by preventing salt accumulation on critical components like condenser coils and aluminum fins.
Watch for signs like reduced cooling, unusual sounds, or higher energy bills, which can indicate salt corrosion or other coastal-related issues. Early intervention usually means less expensive repairs and prevents small problems from becoming major system failures.
Absolutely. Multi-zone ductless systems can effectively cool and heat entire homes, often more efficiently than traditional ducted systems. One outdoor unit supports up to five indoor units, providing individual temperature control for different areas of your home.
This works particularly well in Montara homes where coastal fog might cool one side of the house while afternoon sun heats the other. You can adjust each zone independently, avoiding the energy waste of cooling or heating unused spaces throughout your home.
Whole-home ductless systems eliminate energy losses associated with ductwork, which can account for 20-30% of cooling costs in traditional systems. The result is better comfort control and lower energy bills while providing reliable performance in challenging coastal conditions.
We specialize in coastal installations and understand the specific challenges Montara’s environment creates for HVAC systems. Many contractors use standard equipment and sizing methods that fail quickly in coastal conditions, leaving you with expensive repairs.
Our installations include proper load calculations for coastal humidity, salt-resistant components, enhanced drainage systems, and weatherproofing designed specifically for marine environments. Forty years serving Santa Clara County taught us what actually works in coastal areas versus what sounds good on paper.
Every installation comes with our guarantee because proven methods and quality parts back our work. We’re available 24/7 for emergencies, and you’ll receive honest advice about what your home actually needs, not just what generates the highest sale price for us.
