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 looking for an efficient way to boost your home’s comfort, a mini-split system could be the answer.
What’s a mini-split system?
A mini-split system is a ductless form of heating and cooling that is has its focus on individual 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 easier to install since there is no ductwork required. They pump air straight to wall or ceiling mounted air handling units that have their own wireless electronic temperature control systems.
Mini-split systems aren’t one-size-fits-all, nor are they all made equally, or for the same size room. Much like normal air conditioners, a mini-split system should be sized to fit the area that it will be responsible for. Doing so can mean more efficient production for you, which may also mean savings on your normal energy costs as well. They’re normally 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 experienced in mini-split system calculations and can provide you with specific products based on the size of space that you want to heat and cool.
A quick primer
A mini-split system operates by employing a process that only generates 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 important to reap all of the efficiency benefits offered.
Mini-split system sizing
When it comes to determining size for a mini-split system, our experts recommends the best option for you as we do with all of our heating and cooling equipment. We work directly with you to decide your needs and measure the size of the room the system will be heating and cooling. A mini-split system that is too small will end up running more often, meaning you’re wasting energy all the time. However, if your system is too big, you’ll possibly be spending more on the system and run the risk of having your mini-split system flipping on and off frequently.
