Ductless AC Setup for Auburn Homes
Auburn has many older homes where adding full duct work is not worth the cost. A ductless unit is a clean way to cool one room or a whole home without tearing up walls. Fresh Air Heating and Air holds CSLB license 945361, has done over 900 setups since 2009, and serves Auburn and the surrounding Placer County foothills. Your in-home estimate is always free.
Good for Older Auburn Homes
Many Auburn homes built before 1980 have small rooms with no duct access. A ductless head gives those spaces real cooling without big construction work.

Ductless AC Installation Auburn FAQ
Do I need a permit for a ductless unit in Auburn?
Yes. Placer County requires a mechanical permit and often an electrical permit. Fresh Air handles the filing so you stay code-compliant.
How many rooms can one outdoor unit serve?
A multi-zone unit links one outdoor unit to two, three, or four indoor heads. Each head has its own remote and temp setting.
What size unit do I need?
Size depends on the room area, ceiling height, and window count. Our free in-home visit does a proper load check so you get the right size.
Will the setup work in an older home with low amperage?
It may need a circuit upgrade. We check the panel at the free estimate and tell you the full cost up front.
How long does the job take?
Single-zone jobs usually finish in one day. Larger multi-zone jobs may take two days. Our average setup wraps up in about 48 hours.
