Whether you have had a renovation to your home that seems to be a little toastier than the rest of the house or you’re simply looking for an efficient way to improve your home’s comfort, a mini-split system could be the way to go.
What’s a mini-split system?
A mini-split system is a ductless form of heating and cooling that is focused on distinct rooms and spaces, not an entire home or building. Mini-split systems are more adaptable and energy efficient than common central air systems and are simpler to install because there is no ductwork required. They pump air right to wall or ceiling mounted air handling units that have separate 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. Comparable to common air conditioners, a mini-split system should be chosen to fit the area that it will be heating and cooling. Doing so could mean more efficient production for you, which could also lead to savings on your normal energy expenses as well. They’re typically used for:
- Hot and/or cold rooms
- Additions/renovations
- Enclosed patios
- Homes without room for ductwork
- Large, multi-zone living spaces
Your local pros at Jack Nelson Service Experts are knowledgeable in mini-split system measurements 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 works by utilizing a process that only creates the amount of hot or cold air that you need to reach or maintain the temperature you pick. That being said, a appropriately sized system is still crucial to reap all of the efficiency benefits offered.
Mini-split system sizing
When it comes to measuring for a mini-split system, our experts recommends the ideal 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 area 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 over time. However, if your system is too large, you’ll possibly be spending more on the system and carry the risk of having your mini-split system turning on and off all the time.
