Ductless Mini-Split Installation in Los Angeles: what's different
Mini-splits are one of the most common HVAC upgrades in Los Angeles because so many homes, from Spanish-style bungalows to hillside houses, were built without ductwork. A ductless system adds efficient cooling for Valley heat waves and heating for cool winter nights without opening plaster walls.
Installers in LA typically pull permits through LADBS inside city limits, and state energy rules apply to new equipment. Placement of outdoor units on narrow lots and hillsides, and line-set routing on stucco exteriors, are the main design questions.
Ask how many zones you need. Many LA bungalows do well with two or three heads covering the living area and bedrooms, connected to one outdoor unit.
Los Angeles climate
Dry, mild winters; warm to very hot summers inland; and Santa Ana wind events that bring heat, dry air and wildfire smoke.

FAQ
Ductless Mini-Split Installation questions
Do I need a permit for a mini-split in Los Angeles?+
Generally yes. Mechanical and electrical permits are typically required, issued by LADBS in the City of Los Angeles or by your own city elsewhere in the county.
What size mini-split do I need for a garage?+
Many 2-car garages need 18,000–24,000 BTU in hot climates because of poor insulation and the garage door. A load calculation, and insulating the door, can reduce that.
