Installing a Mini Split System Upgrade in Rolling Hills Estates, CA
Installing a mini split system can improve the HVAC system in a home if it is outdated. A three-story townhouse in Rolling Hills Estates, CA faced a challenge—keeping every floor consistently cool. The outdated central HVAC system struggled to provide adequate cooling, particularly on the top floor, where temperatures remained uncomfortably warm.
The Challenge: Inconsistent Cooling Across Floors
Multi-story homes often encounter cooling inefficiencies with traditional HVAC systems. As warm air rises, upper floors can become significantly hotter than lower ones, making it difficult to maintain comfort throughout the home. In this case, the top floor was constantly warmer than desired, despite adjustments to the thermostat.
The Solution: A 3 Three-Zone Multi-Split System Upgrade
To tackle this issue, Robert Villagomez (PEHVAC), the contractor hired to upgrade the HVAC system, provided a modern upgrade. He installed a three-zone multi-split system which allows precise temperature control on each floor, ensuring even cooling throughout the home.
To optimize the installation and ensure seamless performance, the system was equipped with high-quality HVAC installation accessories from Inaba Denko.
