Mini-splits are often a good fit for additions, offices, bedrooms, ADUs, and homes where ductwork is limited or uneven. The main design checks are wall placement, condensate drainage, line-set routing, outdoor-unit access, and avoiding oversizing.
Mini-splits offer: zone control for individual rooms, no ductwork needed, high efficiency (SEER 20+), quiet operation, and flexible installation. Ideal for additions, converted garages, older Bay Area homes, and targeted comfort.
Typically one indoor unit per zone/room you want to control independently. A multi-zone system with one outdoor unit can support 2-8 indoor units. We assess your space and comfort goals to recommend the right configuration.
