At a commercial building on Linn Avenue in Albuquerque, the staff had been dealing with rooms that never stayed at the right temperature. Some areas ran warm, while others were noticeably cooler throughout the day—an issue that can affect comfort, productivity, and energy use. The business requested a dependable, long-term solution that wouldn’t require major renovation. Our team installed a Daikin 4-zone mini split system to give each space independent temperature control and improve comfort throughout the building.
Job Overview
- Location: Albuquerque, NM
- Client Type: Commercial building owner & Care Club member
- Scope: Install a 4-zone ductless mini split system for multi-room temperature control
- Equipment Installed: Daikin outdoor heat pump and four Daikin wall-mounted indoor units
- Additional Work: Crane support for outdoor placement, electrical coordination, exterior routing
- Why It Mattered: The business needed consistent comfort in multiple areas without shutting down operations for large-scale construction.
What We Found
The commercial building had several rooms that struggled to stay comfortable throughout the workday. Because the layout didn’t support traditional ductwork without significant disruption, a ductless solution was the best way to address the temperature swings. A multi-zone mini split allowed different rooms to be controlled separately based on how each area is used.
The Solution
Our team completed the installation over multiple days to minimize disruptions to the business.
Here’s what we did:
- Identified the best locations for each indoor unit to ensure coverage across different work areas.
- Used a crane to safely position the Daikin outdoor system on top of the building.
- Installed all four indoor wall-mounted units with clean, elevated placement.
- Ran piping and drain lines along the exterior in a neat, organized path to maintain a professional appearance.
- Connected and tested each zone to ensure proper heating, cooling, and responsiveness.
- Installed a protective cage around the outdoor unit for long-term durability.
- Walked the building owner through system operation, maintenance, and zone controls.

The Results

The quiet operation reduces distractions, and the improved efficiency helps manage energy costs. Best of all, the upgrade was completed without the downtime or disruption of major construction.
