Whether you have had a renovation to your home that seems to be a little warmer than the rest of the house or you’re simply searching for an efficient way to improve your home’s comfort, a mini-split system might be the choice.
What’s a mini-split system?
A mini-split system is a ductless form of heating and cooling that is has its focus on specific rooms and spaces, not an entire home or building. Mini-split systems are more adjustable and energy efficient than common central air systems and are simpler to install since there is no ductwork required. They pump air straight to wall or ceiling mounted air handling units that have separate wireless electronic temperature control systems.
Mini-split systems aren’t only one size, nor are they all created equally, or for the same size room. Much like common air conditioners, a mini-split system should be sized to fit the area that it will be in. Doing so could mean more efficient production for you, which may also lead to savings on your regular energy costs as well. They’re usually used for:
- Hot and/or cold rooms
- Additions/renovations
- Enclosed patios
- Homes with no room for ductwork
- Large, multi-zone living spaces
Your local experts at Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning are well-versed in mini-split system measurements and will be able to provide you with choices based on the size of space that you’d like to heat and cool.
A quick primer
A mini-split system works by employing a process that only produces the amount of hot or cold air that you need to get to or maintain the temperature you pick. That being said, a appropriately sized system is still crucial to reap all of the efficiency benefits possible.
Mini-split system sizing
When it comes to sizing a mini-split system, our experts recommends the ideal choice for you as we do with all of our heating and cooling equipment. We work directly with you to decide your needs and get the size of the area the system will be heating and cooling. A mini-split system that isn’t big enough will end up working more often, meaning you’re wasting energy all the time. However, if your system is too large, you’ll likely be spending more on the system and have the risk of having your mini-split system turning on and off constantly.
