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.

Using small, flexible ducts and a compact air handler, these systems can be installed with minimal disruption. There is no need to tear down walls or ceilings. 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 If your current AC system is outdated or underperforming, we provide professional AC replacement services to restore reliable, year-round comfort.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.

The owner came out himself and inspected my furnace and told me about my old furnace. Very knowledgeable and direct, which very helpful on my decision to use them. The staff that installed my furnace was very good. Even found out I had a bad thermostat and installed a new one. Of course for a small charge but it was worth it.

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.
