I highly recommend EM Energy & Air!! We had them remove and replace our attic insulation, clean and sanitize our attic and install new insulation and a heat shield in our home. The crew was awesome. They laid down plastic for the pathway, and around the entire area where work was to be performed. It took about 5 hours and they were non-stop working to completion. We got a few quotes and were well worth our cost. Can’t say enough good things about the entire process, from initial meeting, quote to work completed!!

As a Professional Engineer and HVAC business owner, I can certainly recommend E&M. I pursued multiple bids and Eilon was by far the most knowledgeable, thorough and professional. His field team was courteous, worked neatly, and finished the project on time. We already notice that the HVAC system runs less and the house holds temperature better. Strong endorsement from me.

we are very pleased having hired EM Energy & Air trough Eilon to tackle our attic project. From scheduling an appointment to getting the job done all went smoothly and faster than we expected. After reaching out on Sunday our attic got renovated within 1 week time frame: removing the old insulation, clean up of the attic, installing a whole house fan, redoing the HVAC pipes and insulation. I am very pleased with work done and professionalism of the crew. They worked very clean and swiftly ( all work was done in 1 day).

I recently hired EM Air & Energy to clean up and re-insulate my attic and handle some heating work at my home. I’m thrilled with the results and highly satisfied with their service! Elion visited my home to assess the attic and heating setup. He was thorough, knowledgeable, and gave me valuable suggestions tailored to my needs. The contractors who came to do the actual work were efficient, hardworking, and professional throughout. The pricing was fair, and I truly feel I received excellent value for the cost. The entire process was seamless, and I’m happy to recommend EM Air & Energy to anyone looking for top-quality service.

The team’s professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. I highly recommend EM Energy and Air for anyone needing quality insulation work done!

I called up these folks initially to get an estimate to clean out my attic. They provided me the best bid I received in terms of details and price. After a candid conversation with Eilon, I decided to have EM energy and air also install new insulation and seal off my attic. The crew were very thorough in sealing off all the possible rodent entry points and did a great job with the cleaning. And the insulation came just in time for the heat wave. It made a 10 degree difference in the inside temperature of my home. Great experience, would highly recommend them.

Installing two heat pump with EM was a breeze; communication was very timely and the job was done well and as agreed. Quote process: They got me a fair quote same-day by just from sending them info over text (while other companies took weeks) and the price was fair. Change orders: I decided later I want two units, and again it was a smooth process. Also later there was an equipment change – and it made it convenient for me. Job Day: 4 guys arrived as agreed and get it done same day. I talked to most of them and all were polite, nice and upbeat. They let me inspect the work closely, made sure I am happy and give me tips on next steps. TLDR; Would hire them again and I am happy to recommend to my neighbors!

What Makes Mini Splits a Good Fit?

Many older homes in San Mateo were built without ductwork. Others may rely on wall heaters, window AC units, or baseboard electric systems that drive up utility costs without offering much comfort. Mini splits offer an energy-efficient upgrade that doesn’t require extensive remodeling or major alterations to your home’s interior.

A ductless mini split system works by placing one or more indoor air-handling units on the wall or ceiling, connected to an outdoor compressor. These units heat and cool rooms independently, using advanced inverter technology to maintain consistent temperatures while minimizing energy use. You can install a single-zone system for one area, or a multi-zone setup that serves different rooms throughout the home.

Because they don’t rely on ducts, these systems avoid the energy loss that often comes with traditional HVAC setups. That can translate to lower monthly bills and a more comfortable living space.

Zoned Comfort Without the Waste

Mini split systems are ideal for homeowners who want room-by-room temperature control. If you have a multi-level home, a guest suite, or rooms that are rarely used, you can create zones that heat and cool as needed rather than forcing a single thermostat to control the entire house.

This zoning capability is not just convenient, it’s smart. You save money by only conditioning the spaces you’re actively using. You also avoid the common problem of one room being too warm while another stays cold. Each air handler comes with its own remote control or wall-mounted thermostat, so you can fine-tune comfort throughout your home.

We regularly install mini split systems in home offices, sunrooms, finished garages, upstairs bedrooms, and separate units like in-law suites or backyard ADUs. These systems are especially useful in homes where central air would require opening walls, reconfiguring ceilings, or running ducts through tight crawlspaces.

A Cleaner, Quieter Way to Stay Comfortable

Ductless systems don’t just improve energy use. They also make your home quieter and healthier. Most mini split compressors run with little to no noise, and the indoor units circulate air gently without the whoosh and rattle you may hear from older systems.

Many mini splits also come equipped with built-in filtration that helps reduce dust, allergens, and other particles. That makes them a good option for households with pets, respiratory sensitivities, or concerns about indoor air quality.

Because there are no ducts, you also avoid problems like dust accumulation, mold buildup, or rodent damage in hidden areas of your HVAC system. The result is a more hygienic and low-maintenance solution to heating and cooling.

We Recommend High-Quality Systems

At EM Energy & Air, we install ductless systems from trusted manufacturers, including American brands like Carrier. We can recommend the right configuration based on your home’s layout, insulation levels, window placement, and sun exposure. Whether you need a single air handler or a system that connects to four or five rooms, we’ll design a plan that meets your comfort needs without overcomplicating things.

Our team handles every step, from inspecting and measuring to placement, mounting, and electrical work. We’ll also show you how to operate the system and adjust the settings, so you feel comfortable using it from day one.

Fast Installations and Clear Pricing

Most mini split installations can be completed within one to two days. We take care to minimize any disruption to your space and keep things tidy throughout the process. If your home needs additional work, such as insulation upgrades or attic ventilation, we can coordinate those tasks as part of the overall project.

Our estimates are always transparent, with taxes and labor included in the total. There are no surprise charges, and we offer financing options to make the upgrade more accessible.
