A mini split (also called a ductless air conditioner or ductless heat pump) is a highly efficient heating and cooling system that doesn't require ductwork. It consists of two parts: a compact outdoor compressor unit and one or more sleek indoor air handlers mounted on your wall or ceiling. A small conduit through the wall connects them. No tearing open walls, no duct installation, no major renovation.
Mini splits are the fastest-growing HVAC category in the United States, and for good reason. They're 30-50% more energy efficient than traditional central AC, they provide both heating and cooling in one system, and they give you room-by-room temperature control. Whether you're cooling a single bedroom, heating a garage workshop, or replacing your entire home's HVAC system, there's a mini split for the job.

Matched to your space, your needs, and your budget
Summer temps in the Central Valley, Inland Empire, and deserts regularly exceed 100°F. A mini split delivers powerful, efficient cooling without the massive energy bills of central AC. Zone cooling means you only cool the rooms you're using. Saving 30-50% on electricity compared to running a whole-house system.
Shop Cooling SystemsHeat pumps work both ways. Cooling in summer and heating in winter. Modern mini splits heat efficiently down to -13°F. Replace your gas furnace and eliminate gas bills entirely. California's mild winters are perfect for heat pump technology, and you may qualify for additional state rebates for going all-electric.
