Ductless mini split air conditioning systems are increasingly becoming the top option for individuals looking to replace their outdated, loud, and potentially hazardous window air conditioning units. Mini Splits represent a solid alternative when constructing new room expansions or residing in compact apartments, where installing or extending ductwork for a central HVAC system is impractical. Much like central air conditioning systems, mini splits consist of two primary elements: an exterior compressor and an interior air handler, with no ductwork necessary. A mini split air conditioning system offers a budget-friendly alternative to central air systems. Nonetheless, it tends to be pricier than wall-mounted or window units, and installation typically requires a professional. With the compressor located outside, mini splits operate quietly and with great efficiency. Additionally, because mini splits do not incorporate ducts, they eliminate energy wastage linked to ductwork in central forced air systems. Losses in duct systems can be responsible for over 30% of energy use for space conditioning, especially when ducts are placed in unheated areas like attics.

Mini split air conditioning units can often be simpler to install compared to other air conditioning systems. For instance, connecting the indoor and outdoor units usually requires just a three-inch opening through a wall for the necessary conduit. Furthermore, many manufacturers offer various lengths for these connection conduits. Therefore, it is possible to position the outdoor unit up to 50 feet away from the indoor evaporator, allowing for cooling of rooms located at the front of a building with the compressor situated in a less noticeable location on the exterior.

When compared to other supplementary systems, split air conditioners provide enhanced flexibility regarding interior design choices. The indoor air handlers may be mounted from a ceiling, integrated into a drop ceiling, or placed on a wall. Additionally, models that can stand on the floor are available. Most indoor units are approximately seven inches deep and typically feature modern, stylish exteriors.

The mini-split air conditioning system provides an enhanced cooling experience while consuming significantly less energy compared to conventional central air systems. These units are easily set up by placing the interior component high on the wall of the desired space to be cooled and linking it to the exterior unit through a 3-inch opening with copper tubes and electrical wiring. This setup is notably simpler than installing a traditional central ducted system. This kind of ductless system allows precise cooling of a specific room without influencing the climate of unoccupied adjacent spaces.

The mini-split heat pump operates by offering both heating and cooling capabilities. This functionality is achieved through a reversing solenoid that allows the refrigerant to flow in the opposite direction. In a standard cooling-only system, during its operation, cooled refrigerant travels to the interior evaporator, resulting in heated refrigerant returning to the external unit. Conversely, a heat pump reverses this sequence, directing heated refrigerant to the indoor evaporator and producing warm air that maintains moisture, unlike gas heating. With this setup, users benefit from excellent cooling and dependable heating during chillier periods. Our latest hyper heat systems can function effectively down to -22 degrees Fahrenheit, while many older systems only provide heating up to 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

Multi-zone mini-split systems can incorporate several indoor evaporators across various rooms, all connected to a single outdoor compressor. These systems are highly sought after because they require only one external power source to operate all indoor units as well as the outdoor unit. We provide options capable of heating and cooling 2 zones, 3 zones, 4 zones, 5 zones, 6 zones, 7 zones, 8 zones, and up to 9 zones or rooms. Zoned systems are particularly appealing for residences and workplaces that feature unused areas, enabling you to concentrate on spaces that are occupied by people or clients. If you require a system that services 7 zones, it may be more cost-effective to choose a combination of a 5 zone and a 2 zone system. You should apply this same approach when considering pricing for systems designed for 8 zones or 9 zones.

Ceiling cassette mini-split units are an excellent choice if there is adequate space for installation. They are generally intended for placement within a drop ceiling. Most models ranging from 9-18K BTU  have an indoor unit that measures approximately 22.5 inches by 22.5 inches, which fits well in a drop ceiling, although it may not be suitable for many residential settings, as there may not be enough space between rafters. These cassette systems provide 360-degree coverage, making central room installation ideal for optimal performance. They come equipped with integrated condensate pumps that can expel condensation to a drainage system or to the outside of the residential or commercial building. Once in place, only the visible grill remains on the ceiling.

Slim ducted mini split units are essentially concealed air handlers that distribute air through ducts into the rooms you want to heat or cool. This system features a return that needs a register with a filter. It is important to position the return in a spot where hot air tends to collect, and ensure ducts are not too close to the return. Moreover, these units come equipped with internal condensate pumps that facilitate the expulsion of condensation outdoors. These systems offer various functionalities that are usually not available in wall-mounted units or cassettes. For example, they include wall-mounted thermostats that permit the programming of 7-day schedules and automatic static pressure adjustments. With the automatic static pressure feature, the system adjusts itself to optimize the required pressure for the installed ducts. Additionally, they can connect to exhaust fans, which enables intake of fresh air from outside. Dampers may also be utilized if you intend to operate one air handler across several rooms.

Floor ceiling mini split systems provide significant versatility. Smaller units are often termed "floor consoles" and can only be installed on the floor adjacent to a wall. Larger models can be positioned on the floor like consoles or mounted on the ceiling. When ceiling-mounted, they are visible and flush with the ceiling. These models are known for their excellent airflow and are ideal for numerous commercial applications, including grow rooms, server facilities, warehouses, and more. The larger versions feature built-in condensate pumps, allowing for the drainage of condensation outside. Typically, they are controlled via remote, as installing a thermostat on the ceiling can be challenging.

We offer a variety of mini split accessories, including copper linesets, lineset covers, wiring, outdoor mounting brackets, plastic pads, concrete pads, R410A adapters, Combi and Gobi II condensate pumps, and smart Wi-Fi thermostats such as Cielo Breez and Pebble.

If you are curious about the appropriate mini split BTU size needed for your garage, shed, attic, basement, sunroom, or room extension, we are here to assist you. Often, it is more cost-effective to add one of these units than to upgrade your current central system. If you operate an indoor garden (grow room), server space, or workshop with devices that create heat, determining the right system size can be challenging. We can leverage our expertise to help you select the best product for your home improvement project.

• Question: What makes this mini split system more efficient compared to a central system?
• Answer: The simplest explanation is that you lose around 30% of your energy efficiency through ductwork. Eliminating ducts can conserve at least 30%, and we haven’t even considered the implications of electrical usage yet. When we include energy consumption, savings can reach 50-60%. To illustrate this, let’s compare a 2-ton central system with a 2-ton ductless system. Firstly, a central system requires two separate 220v disconnects rated at 30 amps each, while our mini split air conditioning system only requires one 220v disconnect. Additionally, a central unit draws 20 amps internally and an additional 20-30 amps externally during operation, with each component consuming approximately 2000 watts (totaling over 4000 watts). In contrast, mini split systems typically operate using only 10-11 amps and consume just 2000-2500 watts. This represents a significant variation. Customers have informed us that they experience 50% savings on energy costs year-round after switching to a solely non-ducted system.

  How much distance are you planning to keep between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit?
  Based on your response, you can select a mini split system that fits distances of 12', 15', 25', or 50'. For anything exceeding those lengths, it's advisable to ask your contractor to add the necessary extension; most local superstores sell the soft copper needed, and it may be more economical to procure it at cost rather than retail price. Typically, mini split systems are pre-charged for a distance of 25', meaning longer lines will require additional freon to be added.
• Response 3: Now the most critical aspect! What is your budget?
  We offer a wide variety of brands, allowing you to choose a mini split system that matches your financial constraints. Just remember to consider the two factors mentioned earlier when making your selection. Prices for Daikin products are usually on the expensive side.
• Inquiry: What is a mini split system?
  Response: These systems have the compressor and air handler separated, resulting in a quieter and more efficient setup. Similar to a central system, the compressor is placed outside while the air handler is installed indoors. They connect via copper lines that transport freon between them. These systems are much more compact than standard central units. For example, the air handler is a sleek wall-mounted unit that appears very high-tech when affixed to your wall (refer to the product images for an illustration).
• Inquiry: What should I anticipate paying a contractor for installing one of these mini split systems?
  
• The cost will differ based on the contractor you select. For instance, if you opt for a contractor with 12 trucks and multiple crews, their charges will likely be higher due to substantial overhead, and often they may refuse to install a system purchased from elsewhere, as they seek to profit by selling you their product at a significant markup. In our experience, you can locate local contractors eager for your business by searching on platforms like Craigslist; those contractors frequently charge between $50-100 per hour. For a straightforward installation, it might take them around 2-4 hours for a smaller system. Alternatively, they may offer a flat fee, like $500, but it's your choice to select someone you feel comfortable with regarding pricing and service. If possible, request a labor warranty that matches the duration of your parts warranty. Our clients have reported significantly higher prices at Home Depot and Lowe's since they have entered the market with these units.
• Question: What is the time frame for delivery after I place an order for a mini split?

It is estimated by experts that within the same product range of equivalent central units, the price gap between a 15 SEER and a 20 SEER unit is approximately $500. The quality of the product might not significantly influence the pricing.

HVAC professionals with half a century of experience state, "Regarding quality and brand, many high-priced well-known brands perform similarly to budget-friendly systems, even being produced on identical assembly lines." However, this does not imply that paying more yields no advantages. Several of these benefits are detailed below. Paying a higher price can also result in more favorable warranty terms. Most central systems provide ten-year limited warranties for compressors and five-year limited warranties for other components. Based on numerous user comments in online forums, labor costs are typically not included in the manufacturer's pricing. Installers generally provide a one-year warranty on their work, with some offering lifetime warranties for promotional purposes.

What distinguishes these mini split systems from central air conditioning? The amount of cooling that enters a room can be controlled via a thermostat or adjusted with an infrared remote, similar to a TV remote control. It allows one room or part of a structure to maintain a different temperature compared to another area within the same building. In a central air system, the refrigerant circulates from the outdoor condenser coil to one indoor coil, distributing cooled air throughout the rooms via ductwork. In many homes and commercial spaces, the cooling level in one room cannot be altered without adjusting the temperature in every room across the building. This technology can effectively provide heating or cooling and is particularly advantageous for residences and businesses lacking central systems. It is increasingly employed in renovation projects, such as enclosing porches or converting attics into bedrooms. Each facility and scenario presents unique challenges related to climate management.

For years, architects and engineers have recognized this and have endeavored to adapt technology to meet contemporary living and working needs.
