No Ducts? No Problem: An All-in-One Heating & Cooling Solution

If you have an older home or your home’s layout doesn’t allow for ductwork, a ductless mini-split is the perfect solution for your heating and cooling needs. Ductless mini-split systems consist of an outdoor unit connected to your indoor units, which are installed in various rooms of your house. These convenient, multi-zone systems allow you to individually control each room of the house, making it an ideal and energy-efficient solution for many San Diego homeowners.

Residential Ductless Mini-Split Installation

When you’re looking for a heating and cooling system, a central split system might first come to mind. But, what if the layout of your home doesn’t allow for ductwork to be installed? The solution is easy – a ductless mini split system. Ductless systems allow you to heat and cool your home and gives you climate control for each zone. 

If you need help determining whether a central or ductless system is right for your home, we’re here to help. Our certified technicians will evaluate the layout of your home, discuss your home comfort needs, and provide the perfect solution for you. 

Commercial Ductless Mini-Split Installation

When it comes to your business, you want a reliable and efficient heating and AC system to keep your customers comfortable. Whether it’s in a free-standing building or in a shopping center, depending on where your business is located, your building may not have the necessary configuration to install a central split system with ductwork.

A ductless mini-split is the ideal solution. Install a zone (also known as a head unit) in each room of your business, allowing you to control the climate of each room individually. Ductless systems both heat and cool, so no additional heating or cooling units are needed. 

Commercial HVAC systems are complex and require certified technicians to ensure a perfect installation. You don’t want your heating and AC system to fail during business hours. Contact the experts at Guthrie & Sons Heating, Air & Solar to schedule a free estimate on a new installation.

How Do Ductless Mini-Splits Work?

Mini-split heating and cooling systems work without needing ductwork. These types of systems consist of two separate units: an outdoor compressor and an indoor unit.

The indoor unit is responsible for introducing cool and conditioned air around the installed space, and the outdoor unit throws the absorbed heat out into the external atmosphere. The indoor and outdoor units are connected through a small hole in the wall.

One of the major benefits of a ductless system is that each indoor head unit (also known as a zone) can be controlled individually.

Ductless Mini-Split Benefits

HIGH-EFFICIENCY 

Mini-split systems are typically more energy-efficient than central split systems. Many mini-splits boast high SEER ratings. A SEER rating is an industry standard for measuring the efficiency of air conditioners.

The SEER ratings for mini-split systems usually range between 18 and 30 SEER. Systems 16-SEER or greater are considered high-efficiency. 

NO DUCTWORK NEEDED

The beauty of ductless systems is that no ductwork is needed. Instead, they use copper line sets to run the refrigerant to the indoor units. 

The lack of ducts makes these ventless air conditioner systems an especially smart choice for when installing ductwork would be too costly or unnecessary. Mini-splits offer an easy workaround.

ZONE CLIMATE CONTROL

Multi-zone mini-split systems allow you to keep each zone at a different temperature, giving you the power to control the temperatures throughout your house easily and exactly the way you want.

WHISPER QUIET

Ductless mini-split systems have sound ratings as low as 19 dB for the inside unit. With sound ratings that low, they can operate quieter than a whisper. This allows you to stay comfortable without being distracted by annoying noises.

We first hired Guthrie and Sons to replace a furnace after comparing proposals from several heating and air companies. They’ve since been back for annual check ups, and today Kareen came to diagnose and resolve an issue with our mini-splits. My experience each time, including today, is that they hire friendly, knowledgeable people who do good work. They’ve never tried to upsell or do anything unnecessary, which is the way it should be. I’d recommend them to anyone who asks.

Jonathon is a great technician. He is very willing to answer any questions and explains things very well. He is very transparent with letting us know cost, finance options, different furnace models and anything else we want to know. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for furnace repair or replacement.

Guthrie and Sons took on the challenging project of installing an HVAC system at St. George's Serbian Orthodox Church of San Diego, CA. They were the only company among the six we consulted that saw the project through to the end. The members of our congregation are not just happy, but thoroughly satisfied with the heating and air conditioning. The system, split units/floor units with condensers outside, was installed with minimal intrusion onto the church's artwork. Despite the project taking longer than expected due to permit delays, the results were well worth the wait. We highly recommend Guthrie and Sons Heating and Air.

Got recommended this company by my boss who had a whole mini split system installed in his house. Was able to schedule a service appt same week. On morning of service Daniel W. shows up, listens to all of my concerns, and gets right to work. Daniel was able to investigate the problem, took his time making sure he's eliminated all other possible issues before coming up with a recommendation to my original proposal. Fixes up the issue then checks to see if it is working properly. Not only that, he stays with me few more minutes and addresses all the questions I had for him regarding the system, as a whole. Absolutely amazing.I'll be calling back to schedule maintenance services with them going forward. They won me as a customer.

Zach was very knowledgeable and flexible. He did not push us to purchase a new furnace and instead came up with a plant to continue monitor the furnace and air condition. The inspection was good and he replaced a battery. Looking forward to work with him in the future
