Mini-Split Heating Installation Services
Haven Air Conditioning is your guarantee for a successful and affordable ductless installation throughout Orange County and most surrounding areas.
We make it our mission to get you comfortable at all times! Whether you want to add extra coziness to a room, have no attic space, or your house lacks traditional ductwork, a ductless system can be a perfect solution for your heating & cooling needs.
Add a ductless heat pump to your casita, detached home office, converted garage, or in-law suite and enjoy the ultimate comfort and warmth during the cold winter months.
Small and compact, ductless mini-splits can provide the same level of comfort as central heating systems, are more energy-efficient and help homeowners save money due to a less involving installation process.
There are many brands of ductless mini-splits, but it needs to be emphasized that the lifespan and overall performance of a mini-split does not depend on the brand, but largely on the quality of the installation process and following maintenance. Things we want to last need to be tended to and taken care of.
Some of the more common mini-spit brands:
- Mitsubishi
- Gree
- Media
- Fujitsu
- Lennox
We include excellent extended labor warranties in addition to the manufacturer parts warranty to give you peace of mind. Your investment is protected – No matter what.

Frequently Asked Questions
What We Can Do For You!
Is A Ductless HVAC System The Right Choice For My Home?
Ductless systems are ideal for:
- Converted garages
- Additions
- Multi-Zone applications
- Rooms/areas that need to be climate-controlled individually
- Detached buildings
- Any spaces that cannot be ducted or integrated into the central HVAC system
For more information, call us today at (714) 332-6302, and one of our expert advisers will let you know what heating system would suit your space best.
Should I Replace My HVAC With A Ductless System?
Technically, both are HVAC systems, but what is really being asked here is: Should I replace my central ducted HVAC system with a ductless HVAC system? The answer to this depends on personal preference and existing conditions. Here are some things to consider:
- A multi-zone ductless system is far more efficient than a traditional ducted system
- A multi-zone ductless conversion represents a significant investment, especially since all the components of a ducted system are already installed.
- Ductless installations typically require high-wall units in each room to be conditioned and can look overbearing in smaller spaces. However, alternative ceiling units are available (yet require a larger investment) that recess into the ceiling with a modern, sleek look. (call us for more information)
- A ductless mini-split HVAC system may be a great choice if you want a green alternative to a traditional HVAC system!
For more information, call us today at (714) 332-6302, and one of our friendly comfort advisers will help you determine what type of system would meet your goals!
What Are The Pros And Cons Of A Ductless HVAC System??
- Often requires a smaller investment than a traditional central HVAC system
- Ultra-high energy efficiency
- Does not require air ducts
- Can heat and cool
- Space saving & Money saving
- Personalized comfort
- A great solution for additions, converted garages, detached offices, etc.
- Ultra-quiet outdoor unit
- Smallest outdoor unit footprint – 0-lot lines will usually work for outdoor units
Some of the Cons:
- Indoor units are needed in every room
- Can be challenging to integrate IAQ products
- Controls and thermostats are more limited than with traditional systems
- Requires extensive refrigerant piping with multi-zone applications

Why Is There Such A Big Cost Difference Between Duct Installation Estimates?
Comparing “apples to apples,” you will find that duct installation estimates permitted by the city and provided by licensed contractors will not vary a lot.
The differences in estimates start to show when:
- Contractors are not licensed and perform the work illegally. This allows them to cut corners and use non-compliant materials that the permitting contractor can not.
- Projects are not permitted.
- Poorly designed and undersized air duct systems have a significantly shorter installation time and lower associated material costs.
- No warranty on installation.
These poorly performing systems will cost the client far more in the long run due to premature failure, poor comfort and wasted energy from leaks and undersizing.
Call us at (714) 332-6302 for more information.
Should I Get A Heat Pump Or Gas Furnace?
Both have their rightful place. Here are some things to consider:
- Gas furnaces may be cheaper to operate due to the relatively low cost of gas for the foreseeable future.
- When replacing a gas system, it is typically less to replace it with another gas system. Heat pump conversion requires a larger up-front investment.
- Heat pumps are considered a ‘green’ alternative to gas furnaces, especially when solar is utilized for the required energy.
- Heat pumps utilize the outdoor compressor for heating and can be noisy at nighttime or early in the morning when you need heat most. Modern heat pumps can run near silent outside, but it is crucial to choose the right model.
Call us at (714) 332-6302, and one of our comfort advisors will assist you with deciding on what type of heating system fits your needs best.
How Ro Install A Ductless HVAC System?
It takes experience and trade-specific tools to install a ductless HVAC system. A ductless installation should not be attempted as a DIY project.
Call us today at (714) 332-6302 for more information!
What Does A Typical Ductless Mini Split Installation Cost?
- Ductless installations can range from $4,000 for basic single-zone systems to $30,000+ for advanced VRF multi-zone systems that condition entire homes.
Call us today at (714) 332-6302, and one of our comfort advisors will assist you with deciding on what type of heating system fits your needs best.
Does My Ductless Installation Need To Be Permitted By The City?
Yes. All HVAC installations (replacement or original) in California require city permits and HERS verification.
Unpermitted work can cause problems because most home insurance will not cover unpermitted work.
Haven Air Conditioning will handle the permitting and Title 24 HERS process for you.
Call us at (714) 332-6302 to schedule an appointment or request more information.
How Long Does It Take To Replace A Heater/Furnace?
Replacing a heater/furnace usually takes less than a day. On the other hand, installing an original central heating system can last 2-3 days, depending on the project’s overall scope.
Haven Air Conditioning will handle the permitting and Title 24 HERS process for you.
Call us at (714) 332-6302 to schedule an appointment or request more information.
Does It Make Financial Sense To Get A High-Efficiency Furnace?
It comes down to personal preference, but here are some points to consider:
- In Southern California, we often do not use our furnaces enough to recover the added expenses through energy savings.
- High-efficiency furnaces have a smaller carbon footprint as they use more of the produced heating energy to heat the home and less heat leaves through the flue. However, when we consider the externalized carbon footprint from higher upfront cost, maintenance, repairs, etc., the carbon footprint argument may not hold. In Southern California, we usually recommend an 80% efficient furnace to strike a good balance between total cost & efficiency.
- High-efficiency systems often qualify for significant rebates, which can make them attractive.
- For a ‘greener’ alternative, consider a heat pump system.
Call Haven Air Conditioning at (714) 332-6302 to get more information on the best heating system for your home.
Will Haven Air Conditioning Install A Ductless System That I Purchased Online Myself?
Typically not (some exceptions exist) – There are several reasons for this:
- Online models are often obsolete.
- Warranty service becomes impossible as online companies disappear overnight.
- Warranty claims are not practical. Imagine having to mail your ductless unit back to the manufacturer and wait weeks, if not months, to get a replacement (if you can even qualify for a replacement).
- Unlike the countless offers online, we train our installation teams on the models we carry.
