Your living room stays cool during the day while bedrooms remain comfortable for sleeping. No more hot spots, no more arguing about temperature settings, no more wasted energy cooling rooms nobody’s using.
Each zone operates independently, so you control exactly where comfort happens. Your energy bills drop because you’re not conditioning the entire house when you only need specific areas cooled.
The installation happens in a single day through one small hole in your wall. No major construction, no torn-up rooms, no weeks of disruption to get the comfort you’ve been missing.
We’ve been solving comfort problems in San Mateo County since 1985. That’s 40 years of understanding exactly how older homes in neighborhoods like Burlingame and Menlo Park behave.
We know which systems work best in coastal conditions and which installations hold up in converted garages and home additions. Our technicians have seen every type of home layout San Mateo throws at us.
Senior and military families get 15% off every job because we believe in taking care of the community that’s supported us for four decades. We’re not just contractors – we’re neighbors who happen to be really good at making homes comfortable.
We start with a free evaluation of your home’s layout, insulation, and specific comfort challenges. Every San Mateo property is different, so we size the system based on your actual needs, not generic calculations.
Installation begins with mounting the indoor unit where you want precise temperature control. We run refrigerant lines through one small hole to connect with the outdoor unit, which sits on a stable base with proper drainage.
After connecting electrical components and testing the entire system, you have immediate zoned comfort. The whole process typically completes in one day, and you’re left with whisper-quiet operation that won’t disrupt your routine.

San Mateo County’s 740,000 residents live in everything from historic Craftsmans to modern hillside homes. Many lack practical ductwork, making traditional central air expensive and disruptive to install.
Ductless systems excel here because they provide targeted comfort without major construction. Home additions, converted spaces, and rooms that never quite felt comfortable finally get the attention they deserve.
The mild Bay Area climate means these systems handle both summer cooling and winter heating efficiently. You’re not just solving today’s comfort problem – you’re future-proofing your home with technology that adapts to San Mateo’s changing seasons.
Single-zone ductless systems in San Mateo County typically range from $3,000 to $6,000, depending on the specific unit size and installation complexity. Multi-zone systems cost more but provide independent temperature control for multiple rooms.
The investment pays back through energy savings since ductless systems eliminate the 20-30% energy loss common in traditional ducted systems. Many San Mateo homeowners see 20-60% reductions in cooling costs compared to their old systems.
We provide upfront pricing during your free evaluation, so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins. Senior and military families receive 15% off the total project cost.
Ductless systems are actually ideal for older San Mateo homes, especially those built before central air became standard. Many homes in neighborhoods like Burlingame and Menlo Park lack existing ductwork, making traditional AC installation expensive and invasive.
Mini splits require only a small hole through the exterior wall to connect indoor and outdoor units. There’s no need to install ductwork through walls, ceilings, or crawl spaces, which preserves your home’s character and structural integrity.
We’ve successfully installed systems in converted garages, home additions, and spaces where running ducts simply isn’t practical. The flexibility makes them perfect for the diverse housing stock throughout San Mateo County.
Most single-zone ductless installations in San Mateo complete in one day. We arrive in the morning, mount the indoor unit, install the outdoor unit, run refrigerant lines, make electrical connections, and test the entire system before we leave.
Multi-zone installations may take an additional day depending on how many indoor units you’re adding. The process is much faster than traditional central air because we’re not installing extensive ductwork throughout your home.
You can use your new system immediately after installation. There’s no waiting period, no additional construction phases, and no extended disruption to your daily routine while getting the comfort you need.
Ductless systems are extremely efficient in San Mateo’s mild climate because they transfer heat rather than generate it. They work efficiently year-round, providing cooling during warm days and heating during cooler months without the energy waste of separate systems.
The zoned approach means you only condition the spaces you’re actually using. If you’re spending the day in the living room, there’s no need to cool empty bedrooms, which can reduce energy consumption by 20-60% compared to traditional systems.
California’s utility rates make efficiency crucial for long-term savings. Systems with SEER ratings between 16-20 provide the best balance of upfront investment and ongoing energy cost reduction for most San Mateo homes.
Yes, modern ductless heat pumps provide both efficient cooling and heating, making them perfect for San Mateo’s year-round climate needs. They heat your home by extracting warmth from outdoor air, even on cooler days, and reverse the process for cooling.
San Mateo’s mild winters mean these systems rarely struggle with heating demands. They’re much more efficient than electric baseboard heaters or space heaters, potentially saving up to 40% on heating costs while providing consistent comfort.
The same system that keeps you cool during summer heat waves will keep you warm during those occasional cold snaps. You get year-round comfort from one efficient, quiet system instead of managing separate heating and cooling equipment.
Ductless systems require minimal maintenance compared to traditional HVAC equipment. The main task is cleaning or replacing filters monthly, which takes just a few minutes and helps maintain optimal air quality and system efficiency.
Annual professional maintenance includes checking refrigerant levels, cleaning coils, inspecting electrical connections, and ensuring proper drainage. This is especially important in San Mateo County’s coastal areas where salt air can affect outdoor units over time.
Proper maintenance extends system life to 15-20 years and prevents unexpected breakdowns. We offer maintenance plans that keep your system running efficiently while protecting your investment in year-round comfort.
