San Diego Mini-Split AC Units - Installation

Mini-split or “ductless” air conditioners are the most cost-effective and efficient way to cool down your San Diego home when temperatures heat up.  (And most can heat as well)

Most of our customers start with one unit - and quickly ask for multiple after they realize what a difference these ac units can make.  

Below are a few more reasons mini-splits are the way to go for San Diego homeowners. 

  • Mini-splits are significantly cheaper than central air conditioning. A central AC system can cost $15,000-$25,000 depending on the existing conditions and size of the house. A mini split system averages $3200-$4800 installed per zone.

  • Mini-splits are much more efficient. AC is rated according to SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio.) Most central AC units are 14 SEER; a very expensive central AC unit might be 16 or 18 SEER. Most of the mini-splits we install are 20-25 SEER without breaking the bank.

  • The install on a mini-split is much less involved. We can usually complete it in a day. There is only a 3″ diameter hole from the outside condenser to the inside air handler, which is why they are called ductless AC units.

  • Most mini-split units have the ability to heat as well; these are called heat pumps.

  • Mini-splits are very quiet; most people don’t even realize they are on, they filter the air, and can alter the amount of energy used if the demand is less.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Berkley Construction did an excellent kitchen remodeling job. They took a boring, outdated kitchen and replaced it with beautiful new countertops, a stainless-steel gas range, tile floor, tons more storage, even mounted a T.V. in there for the chef. They did a wonderful job for less than I expected! I highly recommend Berkley Construction. Read More...
