Older homes

Cool a 1920s house without touching the plaster.

Ductless cooling for Craftsman, Spanish Revival, and mid-century homes. One small opening per room, and the house looks exactly as it did.

Built before air conditioning.

Most of Pasadena's best houses went up before anyone planned for ducts. Running them now means opening walls, dropping ceilings, and patching plaster that took a craftsman a week to float.

Ductless skips all of it. A slim unit mounts high on the wall, a single 3-inch line runs outside to a quiet condenser, and each room gets its own setting.

How we fit it.

  1. We look first

    We map the rooms, the sun, and where a line can run without showing.

  2. You approve the plan

    A drawing of every head and line, with a firm price in writing.

  3. Floors covered

    Drop cloths down, one clean opening per room, dust caught at the drill.

  4. Room by room

    Each room set and tested before we leave, and the area vacuumed.

“Our 1920s house has no ducts. The new units are barely noticeable and the bedrooms finally stay cool.”
