Why Choose 
A High-Velocity Mini-Duct System for your Torrance Home?

If you're looking for a modern, space-saving alternative to traditional HVAC systems, a high-velocity mini-duct system could be the perfect fit. These systems offer efficient, whole-home cooling with less disruption and greater flexibility, making them ideal for both retrofits and new installations.

Compact Design, Big Performance

High-velocity systems use small, flexible ducts just 2 to 4 inches in diameter, compared to the 8-inch or larger ducts required in standard setups. This makes installing them easier in tight or existing spaces without major renovations.

Less Invasive Installation

Installing a high-velocity system doesn't mean tearing down walls. Instead, small access holes are drilled in floors, ceilings, or walls to route the tubing. This method keeps installation time shorter and home disruption to a minimum.

Quiet, Comfortable Cooling

With proper insulation and modern design, high-velocity systems operate quietly while delivering consistent temperatures throughout your home. You get powerful airflow without the noise of older duct systems.

Cleaner Indoor Air

Thanks to their efficient airflow and reduced surface area for dust buildup, high-velocity ducts help support better indoor air quality. That means fewer allergens and cleaner air circulating throughout your space.

A Smart HVAC 
Solution for Older Homes in Long Beach

If you live in an older or historic home, installing a traditional duct system can be a challenge. Standard ductwork often requires major renovations that risk altering the structure of your property. That's where high-velocity HVAC systems come in.

You get the benefit of whole-home comfort without compromising your home's integrity or design.

This makes high-velocity systems ideal for retrofitting older homes with modern, efficient heating and cooling. For homeowners seeking even more flexibility, we also offer ductless mini-split systems, which deliver zoned comfort without the need for any ductwork. If your current AC system is outdated or underperforming, we provide professional AC replacement services to restore reliable, year-round comfort.

At Total Home Environmental, we help you find the right system for your home's layout, age, and needs, without the stress of a full renovation.

Our niece recently had her system upgraded and she was very pleased with Total Home Environmental service. We decided to contact them and they explained all our options. We decided to not only get a new heating system but added air conditioning as well. Sure glad we did as I never realized how the temperature in your home can affect other areas of your life. It seems we are sleeping better because of the controlled temperature. The whole experience was very positive from the planning to the actual installation. Definitely would recommend this company for any service/installation you are considering.

Nathan and Gordon at Total Home Environmental are lifesavers!!!

Nathan and Gordon at Total Home Environmental are lifesavers!!! I was facing estimates of $10,000 to $20,000 to replace my entire AC and heating system but instead they indicated that my 25 year-old AC compressor could be resuscitated by thoroughly cleaning the terminals and adding a 5-2-1 compressor hard-start assist kit. No other HVAC technician that came out gave me this option but they pulled it off for a fraction of the price of a new install!!! They are honest and knowledgeable professionals! Thank you so much!!!

Total Home Environmental HVAC helped us replace our old condo AC unit. They were professional and polite the whole time. They were the only outfit that quoted me that I didn't feel was trying to sell me, rather they gave me a walkthrough of the entire job and everything they'd need to do. I like to know how things work and asked many questions, and the rep who was doing the initial quote, Nathan, was happy to keep explaining things to me until everything made sense. What particularly impressed me was what they did when the thermostat they brought was faulty: Gordon tracked down the factory representative for the LA area, asked him to test the setup themselves, and on discovering a fault got them to get a new thermostat out the next day. The whole team from start to finish was wonderful, I am happy I chose them and happily recommend them!

I spoke with Gordon on Wednesday about repairing my Carrier AC furnace. After explaining to him the symptoms of my unit, he said he didn't think it was the motor. He sent Nathan out the following day to diagnose the furnace and it turned to be the motor. The wheel needed cleaning as well. Nathan...

He sent Nathan out the following day to diagnose the furnace and it turned to be the motor. The wheel needed cleaning as well. Nathan took the motor out and returned the following day to complete the job. Gordon and Nathan, both, came across as being very nice, knowledgeable, and professional. They didn't pressure me into purchasing something I didn't need, like others had attempted to do. I'll give these guys a 5+.

Total Home worked hard to meet our needs. They gave me several options to choose from and got the work done quickly. I would recommend them to a friend. We needed a whole new system and they gave us a fair price.

FAQs About High-Velocity HVAC Systems

Are high-velocity HVAC systems energy efficient?

They are highly efficient. Because the system uses tightly sealed, narrow ducts, there is less air loss than traditional ductwork, where homes can lose up to 30% of conditioned air through leaks. This means more consistent temperatures and lower energy bills.

Are high-velocity HVAC systems noisy?

Not at all. Despite the name, these systems are designed for quiet operation. The ducts are insulated, and the high pressure airflow is balanced to reduce noise. Most homeowners find high-velocity systems to be just as quiet, or even quieter, than standard HVAC setups.

How long does it take to install a high-velocity mini-duct system?

Installation time can vary depending on the size of your home and its layout, but most high-velocity systems can be installed more quickly than traditional ductwork, especially in homes without existing HVAC infrastructure. Because the ducts are small and flexible, the process is less invasive and typically requires minimal reconstruction.

Can a high-velocity system provide both heating and cooling?

Yes. High-velocity mini-duct systems are designed to deliver year-round comfort, offering both heating and cooling from a single system. When paired with a compatible heat pump or air handler, they can efficiently maintain a consistent temperature throughout your home in every season.
