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 boost 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 has its focus on specific rooms and spaces, not an entire home or building. Mini-split systems are more flexible 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 their own 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 common air conditioners, a mini-split system should be sized to fit the area that it will be responsible for. Doing so could mean more efficient production for you, which could also mean savings on your normal energy bills as well. They’re usually used for:
- Hot and/or cold rooms
- Additions/renovations
- Enclosed patios
- Homes without space for ductwork
- Large, multi-zone living spaces
Your local pros at D&K Home Services by Enercare are well-versed in mini-split system measurements and are able to provide you with choices based on the size of space that you’d like to heat and cool.
A quick primer
A mini-split system operates by using a process that only creates the amount of hot or cold air you desire to achieve or maintain the temperature you pick. That being said, a appropriately sized system is still important to receive all of the efficiency benefits available.
Mini-split system sizing
When it comes to measuring for a mini-split system, our team 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 get the size of the area 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 over time. However, if your system is too big, you’ll likely be spending more on the system and have the risk of having your mini-split system cycling on and off frequently.
