No ductwork, no plaster damage, no compromise on comfort. Single-zone or multi-zone. Fujitsu specialty — this is what we install most in Hudson County.
A small outdoor condenser (about the size of a window AC) connects to one or more indoor heads via thin refrigerant lines — usually about the diameter of a garden hose. The indoor head bolts to the wall, blows conditioned air directly into the room, and handles condensate via a small drain line.
No ductwork. No tearing into plaster brownstone walls. No sacrificing closet space for an air handler. That’s why ductless dominates in retrofits across Hudson County — it just fits how our buildings are built.
Most Hudson County buildings were never meant to have central AC. Ductless works where central can’t — or where central would cost twice as much and look worse.
Old plaster walls, period moldings, exposed brick — running ducts through those is brutal. Line sets route through closets, hidden line-set covers, or exterior walls. Minimal disruption to historic character.
Each indoor head has its own thermostat. Cool the upstairs bedroom at 68 while the downstairs den stays at 74. With central, you fight that constantly.
Most modern ductless units are also heat pumps — one system, full-year comfort, no separate furnace needed. SEER ratings up to 30+ on Fujitsu Halcyon & Daikin Aurora.
Fujitsu is our primary specialty — we’ve installed hundreds across Hudson County. We also work with Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, and LG.

Ductless sizing is more nuanced than “3 tons should do it.” The configuration matters as much as the BTUs.
One outdoor unit per indoor head (single-zone) is simpler and cheaper. One outdoor unit serving 2–5 indoor heads (multi-zone) saves outdoor real estate — useful on small brownstone rear yards or condo balconies.
Each room gets a head sized to its load — not a one-size guess. 9k BTU for a small bedroom, 12k for a living room, up to 24k for a larger great room. Right-sized heads run quieter and dehumidify better.
Wall-mount is most common. Ceiling cassettes for finished ceilings. Floor-mount for under-window applications. Ducted-cassette for “hidden” ductless in a soffit. Each has trade-offs we’ll walk you through.
Rear yard pad, side of the building, on a balcony, or up on the roof. Affects line-set length, noise, condensate routing, and aesthetics. We scout placement on the in-home estimate.
Most ductless installs in Hoboken/JC are clean, fast, and far less disruptive than central AC. Three factors usually drive the scope.
From outdoor unit to each indoor head. Short straight runs are easy. Multi-floor runs through closets, hidden behind crown molding, or in exterior line-set covers are common in Hoboken brownstones.
Brownstone rear yard, condo balcony, building rooftop. Each has noise, code, and HOA considerations. We scout this on the estimate and design around it.
Most Hoboken/JC installs require an electrical permit. Condo and co-op buildings often need board approval for exterior unit placement. We handle the paperwork.
Single-zone installs are typically $4,000–$7,000. Multi-zone systems run $10,000–$20,000+ depending on head count and complexity. NEIF financing available. Call 201-245-5151 for a free in-home estimate.
