A mini split system is a type of ductless heating and cooling system that allows you to control the temperature in individual rooms or spaces. It consists of an outdoor compressor/condenser unit and one or more indoor air-handling units, connected by a conduit.

Unlike traditional HVAC systems, mini splits do not require ductwork, making them easier and less invasive to install. They offer more flexibility in terms of temperature control and are generally more energy-efficient.

In San Diego, mini splits are beneficial due to their energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and the ability to provide both heating and cooling in our varied climate. They're ideal for homes without existing ductwork or for room additions
