Mini-Split Installation — Carmichael, CA
Carmichael's 1960s and 1970s homes often have additions with no duct access. Mini-splits solve this cleanly. Fresh Air has done dozens of Carmichael ductless jobs among 900-plus total installs.

Carmichael was built out mostly in the 1960s and 1970s. Many of those homes had additions put on later. Those added rooms sit outside the original duct system. Running new ducts through a finished home costs a lot and takes time. A ductless mini-split needs only a small wall sleeve. Fresh Air has served Carmichael since 2009 and holds CSLB #945361. We do a free in-home estimate for every job.

Carmichael's tree-lined streets are full of 1960s and 1970s ranch homes. Many added bonus rooms, sunrooms, or garage conversions over the years. The main duct system does not reach those spaces well. In summer heat above 100 degrees F, those rooms become too hot to use. A ductless head on its own circuit fixes the problem without demo work.
