Your energy bills drop when you only cool the spaces you’re actually using. No more wasted energy pushing air through leaky ducts or cooling rooms nobody’s in.
Ductless systems let you set different temperatures for different rooms. Keep your bedroom at 68 while the guest room stays at 75. Your family stays comfortable, and your wallet stays happy.
These systems work year-round too. The same unit that keeps you cool in summer provides efficient heating when San Carlos evenings get chilly.
We’ve been keeping San Carlos families comfortable since 1985. When Ramiro’s father started Eco Air Home Services LLC, ductless systems were barely a concept. Now they’re often the smartest choice for Bay Area homes.
We’ve seen every type of cooling challenge San Carlos throws at homeowners. Older homes without existing ductwork. New additions that never get cool enough. Sunrooms that turn into saunas by afternoon.
Our technicians know how San Carlos’ Mediterranean climate affects your comfort needs. We also know which rebates and incentives can save you money on your installation.
We start with a thorough assessment of your home’s cooling needs. Room sizes, sun exposure, insulation levels, and your family’s comfort preferences all factor into our recommendations.
Installation typically takes one day. We mount the indoor unit on your wall, place the outdoor unit in an appropriate location, and connect them through a small hole in the wall. No major construction, no tearing up floors or walls.
Before we leave, we test everything thoroughly and show you how to operate your new system. You’ll know exactly how to adjust temperatures, set schedules, and maintain peak efficiency.

San Carlos summers can push your cooling system hard, especially in homes built before central air was standard. Ductless systems handle this climate efficiently because they don’t waste energy pushing air through ducts that may have developed leaks over decades.
Many San Carlos homes have additions, converted garages, or sunrooms that central systems struggle to cool properly. Ductless units solve this by delivering conditioned air directly into these problem areas.
California’s energy costs make efficiency crucial. Ductless systems can cut your cooling costs by 30-40% compared to older central air systems. Plus, you may qualify for rebates that reduce your upfront investment significantly.
Installation costs vary based on the number of zones and complexity of your setup. Single-zone systems typically range from $3,000 to $5,000 installed, while multi-zone systems can range from $6,000 to $12,000.
Several factors affect pricing: the size and efficiency rating of the units, the difficulty of installation, and any electrical upgrades needed. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs clearly.
Many San Carlos homeowners find that available rebates and long-term energy savings make ductless systems very cost-effective. We help you navigate available incentives to maximize your savings.
Yes, modern ductless heat pumps provide both cooling and heating efficiently. They work by moving heat rather than generating it, making them much more efficient than electric resistance heating.
In San Carlos’ mild winter climate, ductless heat pumps can handle most of your heating needs. They remain effective even when outdoor temperatures drop into the 40s, which covers most of our winter weather.
Many homeowners use ductless systems as their primary heating source, supplemented by their existing system only during the coldest nights. This approach maximizes energy savings while ensuring consistent comfort.
Quality ductless systems typically last 15-20 years with proper maintenance. This lifespan often exceeds traditional central air systems, especially when you factor in the wear and tear that ductwork experiences.
The key to longevity is regular maintenance. Indoor units need filter cleaning monthly, and annual professional service keeps everything running efficiently. We provide maintenance plans that protect your investment.
San Carlos’ relatively mild climate actually extends system life compared to areas with extreme temperatures. Your ductless system won’t work as hard year-round, which means less wear on components.
Multi-zone ductless systems can absolutely cool entire homes. Each indoor unit typically covers 500-1,500 square feet, depending on the model and your home’s layout.
The key is proper system design. We calculate cooling loads for each area and recommend the right combination of indoor units. Open floor plans may need fewer units, while homes with many separate rooms might need more zones.
Many San Carlos homeowners start with units in their most problematic areas, then add zones later. This approach lets you spread costs over time while immediately solving your biggest comfort issues.
Ductless systems are ideal for San Carlos’ Mediterranean climate. They handle our warm, dry summers efficiently and provide comfortable heating during mild winters.
Our coastal location means less extreme temperature swings than inland areas. Ductless systems excel in these conditions because they can modulate their output to match changing conditions throughout the day.
San Carlos homes often have unique microclimates due to hills, trees, and varying sun exposure. Ductless systems let you address these differences room by room, something central systems can’t do effectively.
Monthly filter cleaning is the most important maintenance task. The filters are washable and easy to access – most homeowners handle this themselves in just a few minutes.
Annual professional maintenance includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical connections, and testing system performance. This service typically costs $150-$200 per system.
San Carlos’ relatively clean air means filters don’t get as dirty as quickly as in dusty inland areas. However, our coastal location can introduce salt air, so professional maintenance helps protect against corrosion and ensures long system life.
