Whether you have an addition to your home that seems to be a little hotter than the rest of the house or you’re simply on the lookout for an efficient way to improve your home’s comfort, a mini-split system might be the answer.
What’s a Mini-Split System?
A mini-split system is a ductless form of heating and cooling that is focused on specific rooms and spaces, not an entire home or building. Mini-split systems are more flexible and energy efficient than traditional central air systems and are easier to install because there is no ductwork involved. They pump air directly to wall or ceiling mounted air handling units that have individual wireless electronic temperature control systems.
Mini-split systems aren’t just one size, nor are they all created equally, or for the same size room. Comparable to traditional air conditioners, a mini-split system should be picked to fit the room that it will be responsible for. Doing so means more efficient production for you, which might also lead to savings on your monthly energy expenses as well. They’re normally used for:
- Hot and/or cold rooms
- Additions/renovations
- Enclosed patios
- Homes without space for ductwork
- Large, multi-zone living spaces
Your local team at Service Experts are well-versed in mini-split system calculations and are able to provide you with options 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 creates the amount of hot or cold air that you need to get to or maintain the temperature you choose. That being said, a correctly sized system is still important to get all of the efficiency benefits possible.
Mini-Split System Sizing
When it comes to measuring for a mini-split system, our experts recommends the top option for you as we do with all of our heating and cooling equipment. We work directly with you to determine your needs and get the size of the space the system will be heating and cooling. A mini-split system that isn't large enough will end up operating more often, meaning you’re wasting energy over time. However, if your system is oversized, you’ll likely be spending more on the system and have the risk of having your mini-split system turning on and off frequently.
