The Most Suitable Spaces for Mini Splits HVAC System

by Qarah Ict Qarah ICT

When you want to save money on your air conditioning and a heating utility bill, it certainly makes sense to consider mini-split HVAC system choices. HVAC here stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning.

While mini split HVAC systems were introduced in the USA in the '70s, they are still not widely used, and only recently have the split HVAC energy savings and low noise qualities come out to limelight.

Below are the circumstances and the spaces in which a mini-split HVAC system is an excellent and recommended choice. When one or more circumstances apply to you, you will understand better that looking further into mini-split installation makes sense.

Split units make great retrofit add-ons

Due to the minimal invasiveness of the wall or window structure, split units make for good retrofit add-ons. For instance, older and smaller houses where ducts would take up too much space. Also, when a quietude in a space is of paramount importance, split units make much sense. Places like hospitals, churches, and community spaces benefit from split HVAC systems.

Split units work well for non-ducted small apartments, and additions

When introducing duct extensions are impractical, such as in small apartments and in-house additions, introducing a split HVAC unit or a mini split heat pump makes much sense. Think sunrooms, bedrooms, workshops, and home offices. Computer offices and warehouse posts successfully use split system HVAC units in industrial settings.

Apartment units on the first floor

Split units make much sense for first-floor apartments where portable unit vents or even window units represent a security risk due to the need to open the window when using the portable unit.

Homes in milder winter climates

In milder climates, such as California, mini-split HVAC units can be used effectively as air conditioners, and heat pumps to reduce the summer's cooling bills and the winter's heating bills.

When inhabitants who live together prefer different temperature settings

In households where individuals with different temperature settings and preferences live or work in the same space, you can judiciously place the mini split cooling unit on the wall mid-height or near the ceiling. You can suspend it from the ceiling, install it into a drop ceiling, or even place it on the floor. By choosing the placement and the airflow direction from a mini-split HVAC unit right, you can satisfy the preferences of multiple different "temperature personalities" in the same space.

Single-family houses with up to four rooms

Finally, houses with up to four rooms are suitable for mini-split HVAC systems, as one outside unit can typically accommodate up to four inside units. You will save money every month by choosing a central air conditioner due to more control over the individual temperatures in the "rooms" and no losses in the ducts.
