Ductless Mini Split in Santa Monica, CA

What we cover on a ductless mini split call in Santa Monica

Santa Monica's beach bungalows and Art Deco apartment buildings were built without ductwork or any mechanical space, so multi zone mini splits with a head in each room and the condenser on a roof or rear pad are the standard retrofit. Lots are tight and neighbors are close, so sound output and setback clearance around the outdoor unit usually decide placement well before line set length does.

The marine layer holds Santa Monica cool through much of the year, so peak cooling loads are short and modest and modulating equipment avoids the short cycling that plagues oversized systems here. Salt air is the dominant maintenance factor, corroding uncoated coils and cabinet hardware faster than anything else on the Westside.
