Ductless Mini Split
Air Conditioner
Ductless mini split air conditioning is a great alternative to central air conditioning and window units. These systems are mainly used when there is no duct system in place or where it’s impractical to install a duct system in homes that are heated with hot water or steam heat. Some people install ductless split air conditioning because they don’t want to cool the entire house. They’re great for doing large rooms and bedrooms and also a good solution for offices, stores and even churches. Others like the idea of not having to break their back every spring in fall lugging window air conditioners. What is ductless split air conditioning?
A system consists of an indoor unit that usually hangs on a wall or ceiling that is connected by copper refrigerant piping to a unit that sits outside the building.
Most ductless mini split air conditioning systems use advanced technology for increased energy efficiency and comfort control.These air conditioners are unusually quiet. Some models are capable of providing heat using heat pump technology. Depending on what part of the country you live in, this is a great feature. Most manufacturers offer a three zone system that uses only one outdoor unit to power two indoor units. Mitsubishi has a system where up to eight indoor units can be hooked up to one outdoor unit. Prices start at around $2,200 for an area up to 500 sq. ft. to $3,200 for areas up to 1400 sq. ft. for single zone units. Our company has had great success with the Mitsubishi Mr. Slim mini split ductless split air conditioner. It looks like Japan is doing the same thing with air conditioning that they did with the automobile industry. I’m pretty impressed with their technology. They’ve taken basic refrigeration technology and just keep making it better.
