Ductless mini-splits and heat pumps for garages, ADUs, additions and whole homes across North San Diego County. Installed, repaired and maintained by Cali Breeze, Fallbrook's licensed HVAC team. 5.0 stars on Google from 207 reviews.
A ductless mini-split puts a quiet wall or ceiling unit in the rooms you actually use and skips the ductwork entirely. That makes it the right answer for garages turned into offices, ADUs and casitas, additions the original system never reached, and the one bedroom that is always ten degrees hotter than the rest of the house. Cali Breeze installs Mitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu and LG systems from single-zone to five-zone, and repairs every brand.
A heat pump is an air conditioner that runs in reverse in winter, moving heat into the house instead of out of it. Modern inverter heat pumps heat a Fallbrook home comfortably on the coldest January morning and cost far less to run than propane or electric resistance heat, which is why so many homes in De Luz, Rainbow and Bonsall are switching. We install ducted heat pumps that replace a furnace and AC in one, and ductless heat pumps for room-by-room control.
Mini-splits are reliable, but they are not maintenance-free. Indoor coils and blower wheels collect dust and mold, condensate pumps clog, and remote or wiring faults show up as error codes on the head unit. Cali Breeze repairs and services all ductless brands, including systems other contractors installed. Call for a repair, or add your mini-split to an annual maintenance visit.

Yes. Inverter mini-splits from Mitsubishi, Daikin and Fujitsu keep full heating capacity well below freezing, and Fallbrook rarely drops under 35°F. They heat more efficiently than propane, electric baseboard or a wall furnace.
One indoor head per room or open area you want to control. A garage ADU is one zone; a three-bedroom home with no ducts is typically four zones (living area plus three bedrooms) on one or two outdoor units. We size each zone during the site visit.
Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs we do. The mini-split handles the addition, garage or hot room independently, so the central system is not overloaded and the rest of the house stays as it is.
Yes. We service all ductless brands regardless of who installed them, including error-code diagnostics, sensor and board replacement, condensate pump repair, refrigerant leaks and deep cleaning of the indoor coil and blower wheel.
Yes. Mini-split and heat pump installations require a mechanical and electrical permit. Cali Breeze pulls the permit and schedules the inspection as part of every installation.
Well-maintained systems typically last 15 to 20 years. Annual cleaning of the indoor coil and filters and keeping the outdoor unit clear of leaves and grove dust is what gets them there.
