No Ducts Needed
A mini-split uses two parts: one small indoor head and one outdoor unit. We connect them through a 3-inch hole in the wall. No ductwork is cut or added. Most older homes in Cool are ready for this same day.

Why Cool Homes Benefit From Mini-Splits
Cool is a small El Dorado County town where many homes were built before central AC was common. Adding a full duct system to these homes costs a lot and requires cutting walls and ceilings. A mini-split goes in with one small hole and gives you full heat and cooling for one room or a whole zone.
At 1,500 feet you still get summer days over 90 degrees and winter nights below freezing. A cold-climate mini-split handles that full range. Single-zone setups cost 3,000 to 5,000 dollars installed. Multi-zone systems that cover more of the home run 5,000 to 10,000 dollars. Fresh Air has completed 900-plus installs and can tell you which size fits your home at no charge.
