Whether you have an addition to your home that seems to be a little warmer than the rest of the house or you’re simply searching 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 focuses on specific rooms and spaces, not an entire home or building. Mini-split systems are more adjustable and energy efficient than traditional central air systems and are simpler to install as 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 just one size, nor are they all produced equally, or for the same size room. Comparable to traditional air conditioners, a mini-split system should be sized to fit the room that it will be in. Doing so can mean more efficient production for you, which might also lead to savings on your regular energy bills as well. They’re normally 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 Midway Services are experienced in mini-split system measurements and are able to provide you with choices based on the size of space that you’re looking to heat and cool.
A quick primer
A mini-split system functions by using a process that only creates the amount of hot or cold air you desire to reach or maintain the temperature you pick. That being said, a appropriately sized system is still important 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 best 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 calculate the size of the space the system will be heating and cooling. A mini-split system that isn’t large 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 carry the risk of having your mini-split system turning on and off constantly.
