Ductless mini splits are the perfect AC system for our SoCal climate. And when it comes to choosing a mini split manufacturer, our top choice is Mitsubishi. That’s because Mitsubishi is considered the leader in mini split system technology. 

Ductless mini splits are great for AC because they work best in mild climates like ours. They also provide both heating and cooling, eliminating the need for a separate heating system that quite honestly isn’t used as much as your AC.

Mitsubishi mini splits utilize heat pump technology but are different from ducted heat pumps in that they don’t rely on ductwork. That’s another reason why they’re so great for our area as many homes were built without ductwork.

Is a Heat Pump Good for California Homes?

If you’re in the market for a new air conditioner and have done some preliminary research, you might be flabbergasted by all the new terminology and systems that are available. The last time you shopped for a new AC might’ve been a decade ago, and since then, heat pumps have become very popular. 

The name “heat pump” can be confusing to people searching for an air conditioner. A heat pump doesn’t pump heat into your home.

Let’s explain so you’ll know why a heat pump is a relevant search result when Googling air conditioner installation for your California home.
