WHERE CAN YOU
USE A MINI-SPLIT?
Ductless mini-split systems are a great solution to a wide
variety of installation challenges, giving contractors the
ability to add cooling and heating in locations that previously
seemed impossible. They’re ideal when installing ductwork
is difcult, prohibitively expensive, or simply impractical.
Residential and commercial structures, new construction
and existing buildings, are candidates for mini-splits.
Basically a mini-split does away with the need for ductwork.
Like a regular split system A/C or heat pump, the condenser
is located outdoors; one or more air handlers are placed
indoors. The two are connected by electrical, refrigerant,
and condensate drain lines that run through a small hole in
an exterior wall, generally 3” in diameter or less.
In addition to eliminating the need for ducting, one of the
other big advantages of mini-split systems is true zone
control. The air handler is dedicated to the room being
conditioned and is controlled by a wireless remote. That
room can be kept at a temperature and humidity level
different from the rest of the house or building.
Multi-zone systems for up to ve rooms (or one large
space) feature a single condenser that handles one,
two, three, four or ve air handlers. Each air handler
is independently controlled, with its own remote and
electronic-based climate controls to regulate temperature
and humidity levels, as well as air ow. Units in a bedroom
and a home ofce, for instance, can be programmed for
different hours of operation with the 24-hour timer, or
two classrooms situated side by side can be set at different
temperatures. (although units cannot operate in heating and
cooling modes simultaneously).
Mini-split systems have the exibility to t virtually
anywhere and with SEER ratings up to 23.5, they’re also
economical to operate.
