Whether you have had a renovation to your home that seems to be a little hotter than the rest of the house or you’re simply searching for an efficient way to increase 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 focuses on distinct rooms and spaces, not an entire home or building. Mini-split systems are more adjustable and energy efficient than normal central air systems and are easier to install because there is no ductwork involved. They pump air right to wall or ceiling mounted air handling units that have individual wireless electronic temperature control systems.
Mini-split systems aren’t one-size-fits-all, nor are they all produced equally, or for the same size room. Much like normal air conditioners, a mini-split system should be sized to fit the room that it will be responsible for. Doing so means more efficient production for you, which could also mean savings on your regular energy expenses 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 pros at Komfort Air Service Experts are knowledgeable in mini-split system measurements and will be able to provide you with options based on the size of space that you’re looking to heat and cool.
A quick primer
A mini-split system works by using a process that only produces the amount of hot or cold air needed to get to or maintain the temperature you choose. That being said, a appropriately sized system is still crucial to receive all of the efficiency benefits possible.
Mini-split system sizing
When it comes to determining size for 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 figure out your needs and get the size of the room 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 constantly. However, if your system is too large, you’ll possibly be spending more on the system and have the risk of having your mini-split system turning on and off frequently.
