Ductless Mini-Split Installation in San Diego: what's different
Many San Diego homes, especially near the coast in Point Loma, North Park and Clairemont, were built without air conditioning. As heat waves have become more common, ductless mini-splits have become a popular way to cool bedrooms and living areas without major remodeling.
Inland neighborhoods such as Rancho Bernardo and Mira Mesa get much hotter, so multi-zone systems or ducted heat pumps may make more sense there. Coastal installs should use corrosion-resistant outdoor units and be placed away from direct salt spray.
Ask about inverter models with good part-load efficiency. With SDG&E's electricity rates, efficient operation during mild days adds up over the year.
San Diego climate
Mild, marine-influenced weather near the coast; hotter, drier inland valleys; and Santa Ana wind events that bring heat and fire risk.
