LG in Los Gatos
We repair and service existing LG mini-splits. For new ductless installations in Los Gatos, we install Mitsubishi Electric.
Los Gatos has two HVAC problems ductless is well suited to. Downtown, the Victorians and Craftsmans usually have no forced-air system at all, gravity furnaces, original radiators, or wall heaters in each room. Adding central HVAC means major architectural surgery to find space for ducts and returns. Our standard answer there is multi-head ductless: one outdoor condenser, a head per primary room, no floor or wall destruction, and the period architecture left intact. On LG systems already in those rooms, Art Cool's panel options sit better in a finished period room than a bulky generic head.
On the hillside side, Los Gatos homes face the toughest sizing problem in our area. A west-facing upper-level suite can call for cooling at 4 PM while the lower family room is still in morning shade. Single-zone systems lose that fight all afternoon. Multi-zone heat pumps handle it with separate equipment and per-room control, and we'll sometimes pair a ductless head with a central system as a hybrid for the worst west-facing rooms. For the all-out premium whole-house custom builds, Daikin and Mitsubishi still lead, and we install more of those at that tier.
The honest tradeoff with LG is on the repair side. The inverter performance and ThinQ app control are good, but a fault usually traces to a control board, a sensor, or the communication link between a head and the outdoor unit rather than a mechanical part. We confirm the specific fault before ordering, because an LG board is neither cheap nor fast to source on a guess.
LG work we do in Los Gatos
Multi-head ductless for Victorian and Craftsman retrofits. Downtown homes with gravity furnaces or radiators and no ductwork get a Mitsubishi Electric multi-head mini-split: one condenser, one head per primary room. It brings full heating and cooling without cutting ducts into period walls and floors.
Multi-zone heat pumps for hillside load swings. On hillside homes where a west-facing room bakes while another stays shaded, we install Mitsubishi Electric multi-zone heat pumps with separate equipment per floor or wing, so each zone holds its own setpoint instead of one system chasing the afternoon sun.
Hybrid central-plus-ductless setups. Where a central system covers most of the house but one or two rooms fight it, we add a ductless head as a supplement. It targets the worst west-facing rooms without forcing a full system upsize.
Board, sensor, and communication diagnostics. Most LG service calls come down to electronics: a head not communicating with the outdoor unit, an off-range sensor, or an inverter board. We isolate the actual fault before ordering, since LG board lead times drive the repair timeline.
