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!

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.

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.

• It takes experience and trade-specific tools to install a ductless HVAC system. A ductless installation should not be attempted as a DIY project.

• 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.

• Yes. All HVAC installations (replacement or original) in California require city permits and HERS verification. 

  Unpermitted work can cause problems because most home insurances will not cover unpermitted work.

  Haven Air conditioning will handle the permitting and Title 24 HERS process for you.

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.

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.

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.
