Mini Split Installation Solves Hot Room Problem in Winchester, CA

Gary Rodgers • June 13, 2026

Project Overview

A homeowner in Winchester, CA was struggling with a room that remained uncomfortably warm throughout much of the year. While the rest of the home maintained acceptable temperatures, this particular area was not receiving sufficient airflow from the existing HVAC system, creating an ongoing comfort issue.


The Challenge


After evaluating the home's heating and cooling system, we determined that ducting limitations made it impractical to extend conditioned air to the room using the existing ductwork. Correcting the issue through traditional duct modifications would have required extensive construction work and significant alterations to the home.


Mini Split Installation


To provide a cost-effective and minimally invasive solution, we installed a high-efficiency ductless mini split system. Mini splits are ideal for rooms that are difficult to serve with conventional ductwork because they provide independent heating and cooling without requiring major structural modifications. The new system delivers reliable climate control directly to the space while operating efficiently and quietly.


Results


The new mini split system transformed the room into a comfortable living space with dependable year-round heating and cooling. The homeowner now enjoys precise temperature control without the expense and disruption of major construction or ductwork modifications. This solution improved comfort, increased energy efficiency, and preserved the integrity of the home while solving a long-standing airflow challenge.

When a homeowner in Menifee contacted Rodgers Air Conditioning & Plumbing about a slab leak, the original plan seemed straightforward. We would reroute the leaking hot water line and eliminate the leak without breaking through the concrete foundation. However, after evaluating the plumbing system, it became clear that simply repairing one pipe wasn't necessarily the best long-term solution. The leaking pipe happened to be one of the longest hot water runs beneath the home. While we could certainly reroute that single line, we discussed the possibility that additional aging pipes beneath the slab could eventually develop leaks of their own. After reviewing the options, the homeowner decided to invest in a partial PEX-A repipe that replaced the entire downstairs plumbing system, helping eliminate the risk of future slab leaks on the lower level.
