What Size Mini-Split System Do I Need?

Whether you have an add on to your home that seems to be a little warmer 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 choice. 

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 adjustable and energy efficient than traditional central air systems and are easier to install because there is no ductwork needed. They pump air directly 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 created equally, or for the same size room. Similar to traditional air conditioners, a mini-split system should be picked to fit the room that it will be heating and cooling. Doing so can mean more efficient production for you, which might also lead to savings on your regular energy costs as well. They’re typically 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 Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning are well-versed in mini-split system measurements and will be 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 operates by utilizing a process that only creates the amount of hot or cold air needed to achieve or maintain the temperature you have set. That being said, a correctly sized system is still critical to receive all of the efficiency benefits available. 

Mini-split system sizing 
When it comes to sizing a mini-split system, our experts recommends the ideal product 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 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 constantly. However, if your system is oversized, you’ll possibly be spending more on the system and run the risk of having your mini-split system cycling on and off all the time.
