Seattle's Ductless Retrofit Specialists for Older Homes
Air Conditioning for Seattle Homes Without Ductwork
Clearbrook Heating and Air repairs, installs, and maintains ductless and central air systems across Seattle — where a lot of older homes were built with radiators or wall units and no ductwork to add central air into.
Serving Seattle & Surrounding Areas
About Us
Built for Seattle's Older Housing Stock
Clearbrook Heating and Air is based at 500 S Portland St in Seattle, working across a city where a large share of homes predate central air entirely — heated by radiators, boilers, or wall units, with no existing ductwork to extend.
Owner Kellan Mercer built the business around that reality: ductless mini-split systems are usually the practical path to cooling an older Seattle home, and getting the placement and sizing right matters more than it does in a newer, duct-ready house.

A Homeowner's Guide
How to Choose an AC Company for an Older Seattle Home
If your home doesn't have ductwork, not every HVAC company is set up to help. Here's what to check.
Ask About Ductless Experience Specifically
Ductless retrofit work is a different skill set than servicing existing ducted systems — ask how much of the company's work is ductless.
Ask About Indoor Unit Placement
Where indoor units go affects both performance and how the room looks — a good installer will walk through placement options with you.
Confirm Licensing and a Written Price
Washington HVAC work should be performed under a licensed contractor, with a firm price in writing before any work starts.
