Residential Ductless Mini‑Split Installation in Santa Monica

Engineered Comfort for Coastal Homes

Santa Monica’s coastal microclimate demands systems that handle foggy mornings, sunny afternoons, and salty air—all while keeping energy use in check. Our residential ductless mini‑split installations deliver zoned heating and cooling with advanced inverter technology, ultra‑quiet operation, and enhanced filtration for cleaner indoor air. It’s a perfect fit for bedrooms, living areas, ADUs, home offices, and additions where ducts are impractical or you want precise room‑by‑room control. Healthy air at home is our mission, and every design decision supports it.
