From sizing to permits to cleanup, we handle the whole job — a written quote up front and a fixed price, no upsells on install day.
Outdoor Unit
High-efficiency inverter-driven condenser that mounts outside your home and powers every indoor head from a single unit. Handles heat exchange year-round for cooling and heating across all zones.
Indoor Unit

65 ft Line Set
Pre-flared copper refrigerant lines connecting the indoor heads to the outdoor unit. Priced for up to 65 ft total run — longer runs available at additional cost.
Line Set Cover
Decorative PVC channel that conceals and protects the refrigerant lines along the exterior wall of your home.
Outdoor Stand
Heavy-duty mounting bracket that keeps the outdoor condenser level and elevated, improving airflow and protecting it from ground moisture and debris.

Multi-Zone Heat Pump Questions, Answered
Straight answers — no jargon, no pressure.
What is a multi-zone heat pump system?
+
A multi-zone (ductless) heat pump pairs one outdoor unit with several indoor “heads,” each mounted in a different room. Every head comes with its own remote control, so you heat or cool each zone independently — with no ductwork required.
How many rooms can one system cover?
+
Our 2-ton system runs 3 indoor heads (three rooms) and our 3-ton system runs 4 heads (four rooms, or a larger/whole-home layout). The right size depends on each room’s square footage, insulation, and sun exposure — we confirm it at your free in-home visit.
Does each room get its own temperature?
+
Yes. Every zone has its own remote control, so one person can cool a bedroom while another heats the living room. You only condition the rooms you’re using, which keeps energy use down.
Does a heat pump heat my home in winter too?
+
Yes — a heat pump does both. It cools efficiently in summer and reverses to provide efficient heating in winter, so a single system can replace both the AC and the furnace for the zones it serves.
Do I need ductwork?
+
No. Each indoor head connects to the outdoor unit through a small (about 3-inch) refrigerant line, so there’s no ducting, no major demolition, and minimal disruption to your home.
How much does a multi-zone heat pump cost to install?
+
A standard 2-ton, 3-room install runs $10,950 – $11,850 all-in, and a 3-ton, 4-room install runs $14,350 – $15,150 — including equipment, labor, the city permit, and HERS/Title 24 testing. If your home needs a new dedicated electrical circuit, add about $1,100 – $1,225. Use the estimator above, then we confirm the exact number with a free written quote.
Are permits, HERS testing, and Title 24 included?
+
Yes. Every install includes the mechanical permit and the California Title 24 / HERS field verification (Certificate of Verification), so your system is up to code and your warranty stays valid.
How long does installation take?
+
Most multi-zone installs are completed in 1–3 days depending on the number of zones and your home’s layout. We confirm the timeline in your written quote.
What brands do you install?
+
We stock and install major brands including Mitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu, and LG. With 200+ units in our own warehouse, there’s no waiting weeks for equipment.
