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.

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.

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.

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.

Very pleased with the service we received from Guthrie & Sons! Our AC system needed to be replaced after a huge leak. The tech that came out for diagnosis, Mario, took the time to explain the issue to us, as well as our options for repair. They came out on a Saturday to diagnose and it was fixed the following Tuesday. Matthew was the worker that completed the repair and he did an excellent job. Pricing was reasonable. Much more reasonable than the first company we had come out to take a look. We upgraded our system and our SDG&E bill has already gone down. Highly recommend!

Very knowledgeable and professional. Quoted product was high quality and fair pricing. I highly recommend We ended up not going with them only due to the fact we were also getting Solar and ended up going with one company for our project but I would definitely do business with this company in the future if we need it!

We had Guthrie and Sons replace our 50 year old house heater with a heat pump. We are very satisfied with the installation performed by Matthew and Andriy. We were impressed with the detail of their work. They paid particular attention to the required sealing and insulating of the system. Even the HERS testing inspector was impressed with their work. We were also impressed by their professionalism and honesty. They gave us an unexpected partial refund off our signed contract.

We have been using Guthrie & Sons for 3 years and I really can’t say enough good things about them. Our technician Mario was incredibly helpful with our most recent AC issue. He spotted the problem quickly and was very knowledgeable when explaining what was happening. I appreciate their honest and fair pricing and would recommend to family and friends. Glad to have an honest company especially with all the price gauging company’s out these days.

We were incredibly impressed with the prompt and professional service! We called on a Saturday morning, and within just a few hours, a technician was at our home. With the recent heat, getting our AC back up and running was a top priority—and they delivered! Mario clearly explained our options and provided a hassle-free solution that was both quick and effective. The repair was completed shortly after we gave the go-ahead. We’ll absolutely be using them again for any future HVAC needs. Highly recommend this company for their affordability, efficiency, and friendly service—we’re already telling our family and friends! Thanks again Guthrie & Sons!

We were very happy from start to finish. Vlad did a great job in helping us decide what would be best for our house and our needs and the installation crew were the very best. Thank you Guthrie and Sons for a job well done.

Last summer, I used Guthrie and Sons to replace my heating system with a new one and added an air conditioning unit. We also added two different zones in the house to be able to turn the system on independently from one zone to another. From the first contact to the six month maintenance visits, everything has gone smoothly. There were a couple of hiccups, but the company is very responsive and I have never had an issue with them not promptly responding and taking action to figure out and solve any problem. I highly recommend this company.

Guthrie & Son's did an amazing job on our new AC units. From sales through install they were all knowledgeable and helpful. They were very quick to get us all setup and when our home posed some unexpected issues they were able to pivot quickly and resolve them. I'd highly recommend them!

Kenneth Adelson

Had use Guthrie in the past for HVAC service, this time had them install a solar attic fan and additional vent. The service, as it had been the first time, was professional, polite, and on schedule. Pricing was fair (and consider that they offered a repeat customer discount without having to be asked). Would be happy to use them again when the need arises.
I offer 4 stars because I'm not a grade inflation sort. Three is sufficient, four is better than average. Five is reserved for knock my socks off amazing in ways I didn't expect - doesn't happen very often.

We had central heat and air put in two a year and a half ago. We've need to make a few adjustments to airflow to rooms since then. Each time, they are onsite withing 1-2 days and have resolved the issue each time. Their team is professional and incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Very happy we went to Guthrie & Sons.

Mario was knowledgeable and courteous. He made sure our system would be sized right and that our existing ductwork was able to support the new system. The install team were prompt and efficient. They installed drop cloths and cleaned up inside and out after the job. So far I’ve been very happy with the work Guthrie and Sons have done for us.

Great local family business. And you actually get a live person when you call... And the technician was great and they come out quickly. No up selling too. He gave me two different price options on fixing my problem... band aid cheaper way or replacement. Great service.

Jonathan recently inspected the HVAC systems at both my front and guest houses, and I couldn’t be more impressed with his service. He was thorough in his assessment, clearly identifying areas of concern and explaining the recommended repairs in a way that was easy to understand. What stood out most was his honesty and patience—he took the time to answer all my questions without rushing, and I genuinely felt he had my best interest in mind. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, professional, and respectful of your time and property, I highly recommend asking for Jonathan.

If you’re dealing with an AC issue, Mario is definitely one of the best! He quickly diagnosed the problem, worked efficiently, and provided a thorough solution. His expertise and professionalism were clear throughout the entire process. Highly recommend Mario for anyone looking to resolve their AC issues with a reliable and skilled technician.

Guthrie and Sons has provided great service. There are many HVAC companies in San Diego to choose from. They provided a very reasonable estimate for replacing our two AC systems. Once we said yes installation happened within days. It was a quality install. They answer the phone quickly when I've had questions. Happy to refer them to others.

Great customer service, technicians always on time and friendly. I’ve had my new hybrid heat pump for a few years and Guthrie & Sons are very proactive making sure everything is running smoothly. Very happy in my decision to use them!

Great service!! Jonathan was patient, kind, knowledgeable and extremely professional! I love Guthrie & Sons’ reminder system, notification of the technician enroute, the easy invoice system and immediate emailing of the findings, including detailed photographs of the work completed!! Highly recommend!

Last summer my air conditioner couldn't cool the house in the hottest period of summer. The HVAC team I was working with came in and said the coils were leaking, the unit was 20 years old. I requested quotes from 5 different companies, and the variation of prices was huge. I went with Guthrie and Sons for these reasons:
1. Local Company
2. Family Owned
3. Great presentation, no pressure
4. Good products
5. Competitive pricing
Just installed yesterday, so jury is still out on the system, but installation was thorough and great communication so far!

Carson and Michael were brilliant. The heat pump installation went smoothly, and they are really pleasant and trustworthy fellows. The day after it was installed, I had a plumber at my house. He looked at their work and was impressed. He said it was much cleaner than the way HVAC people usually do it.

First time prospective client of Guthrie and Sons. Very responsive staff in providing updates on my calls. Mario F. came over to check out my existing cooling and heating system and is very thorough and professional in providing necessary information related to repair/upgrades. Pending his quote, my experience with Guthrie and Sons is top notch and most highly recommended.

Updated review: Kareen, Daniel and Michael worked on the AC replacement, relocation of furnace to the attic and replacement of ductwork. Very professional and knowledgeable team in my opinion. Completed the work in a timely and very satisfactory manner.
