Galaxy's Guide to Mitsubishi Ductless
If you've talked to Galaxy for more than about five minutes, there's a good chance Mitsubishi ductless came up. That's not an accident.
As a Mitsubishi Diamond Elite contractor, ductless isn't just something we also do — it's one of our core specialties in the Bay Area.
What Is Mitsubishi Ductless?
Mitsubishi Electric ductless systems (mini-splits) are:
- All-in-one units: One outdoor compressor + indoor wall-mounted units
- No ductwork needed: Perfect for homes without traditional ducts
- Individually controlled: Each room can have its own thermostat
- Highly efficient: SEER2 ratings up to 18+, HSPF2 ratings up to 11+
- Quiet operation: Whisper-quiet indoor units (as quiet as 23 dB)
Why We Love Mitsubishi for Bay Area Homes
1. Perfect for Bay Area Architecture
Many Bay Area homes (especially older ones) lack traditional ductwork. Mitsubishi ductless systems solve this problem without requiring extensive renovation.
2. Extreme Efficiency
Bay Area homeowners value energy savings. Mitsubishi's inverter technology delivers:
- Up to 45% energy savings vs. traditional systems
- Excellent heating performance even in mild Bay Area winters
- Cooling perfection for hot inland days
3. Multi-Zone Comfort
Install one unit for an upstairs bedroom or two units for heating/cooling an entire home. You control each independently.
4. Quiet Operation
No noisy compressor rattling outside. Mitsubishi's outdoor unit is among the quietest available—perfect for homes with close-quarters neighbors.
5. Proven Durability
Mitsubishi systems regularly last 20–25 years with proper maintenance. Bay Area contractors know Mitsubishi delivers reliability.
