It relies on refrigerant to warm and cool air, and it\u2019s very effective at both \u2013 with the capability of chilling rooms down to 5\u00b0F. Call it a mini-split or a ductless AC unit for short \u2013 both work. It\u2019s more permanent than a window AC unit but less involved than an HVAC-based central air system, and it is a whole lot quieter and more efficient to run than both.<\/p>\n<h2>How Do Ductless Mini-Split AC Units Work?<\/h2>\n<p>Rather than piping air from one central unit to ducts installed throughout your home, the mini-split consists of just two main components: the compressor, or outdoor unit, which is installed outside your home, and the air handler, or indoor unit, which is mounted on a wall, the floor, or recessed into the ceiling of the room you want to cool. The two units are connected by a number of refrigerant lines, tubing, and power cords, made by drilling a single hole in the wall. The air handler and compressor utilize refrigerant and electricity when it needs to be heated or cooled, pulling in air and pumping it over evaporator coils to cool it, and then sending the refrigerant to the compressor to be condensed from gas back into liquid form. The process repeats, bringing the temperature in your room down.<\/p>\n<p>How do you control it? Almost all mini-splits come with a remote control for each air handler. Some models, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/mrcool-energy-star-diy-36-hp-230b25-ap7192785.html\">MRCOOL DIY Mini-Split<\/a>, have connected features like compatibility with Alexa, Siri, and Google Home and apps for your phone or tablet, letting you set your home\u2019s temperature wherever you are. One of the biggest benefits of a mini-split over traditional HVAC is fine climate control. Each room with an air handler can be a different temperature, because each individual air handler does the heating and cooling itself. This lets you customize individual rooms, provided there are air handlers installed in each one.<\/p>\n<h2>Benefits of a Ductless Mini-Split System<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at some of the other features of a mini-split system.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>High SEER Rating: <\/b>The SEER rating is a measure of the maximum heating and cooling energy efficiency for an air conditioning unit. Ductless mini-splits can have SEER ratings up to 30, which is incredibly high when you consider that whole-home AC units typically rate at about 22 &#8211; 23 SEER. High efficiency means bigger savings when your unit is running and less impact on the environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>High efficiency overall: <\/b>Working ductless systems leak air less than traditional HVAC systems. They\u2019re about 20 &#8211; 30% more efficient than duct-based systems overall.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Quiet: <\/b>Mini-split systems are some of the most quiet AC units you can get, averaging about 32 decibels \u2013 quieter than a library. Traditional units can range from 50 &#8211; 72 decibels. If noise is an issue for you, you\u2019ll love ductless heating and cooling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Humidity control:<\/b> If properly sized for the room it\u2019s installed in, a mini-split can manage humidity in the installed space.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Air filtration:<\/b> Mini-splits utilize filtration cartridges to improve air quality in the space they\u2019re cooling. Those filters do need regular monthly cleaning though to keep things running efficiently!<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Affordable running cost: <\/b>Though potentially pricier to install depending on how much ductwork is needed for a traditional cooling system, a ductless mini-split is cheaper to run than both traditional HVAC and window AC units.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>HVAC versus Ductless Mini-Split<\/h2>\n<p>Ductless mini-splits serve best in homes that don\u2019t have all the ductwork necessary for a central heating\/cooling system. Older homes, condos or smaller homes without central AC would find a ductless mini split a great fit. If your home is already fully equipped with HVAC ductwork, a mini-split may still help around the house.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some places a ductless mini-split can help cool\/heat the air:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Garages<\/b> can benefit from a mini-split system specifically because safety regulations prohibit ductwork being installed in them. If your garage doubles as a workshop, apartment, or you otherwise use it frequently, a mini-split will make it much more comfortable in the summer and winter months.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Room additions and finished basements and attics<\/b> can utilize a mini-split for climate control in lieu of expensive and invasive HVAC ductwork installs.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Adding AC to houses with no ductwork.<\/b> You\u2019ll spare yourself the stress of getting HVAC installed.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>If your home or office has multiple temperature needs<\/b>, a mini-split can help. Because each air handler manages the temperature in its zone, every room with one can be set to a different temperature. Whether you need a library or server room to stay cool, or your family just has different heat preferences, a mini-split makes fine tuning temperatures easy.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Mini-splits can help in rooms with certain heating or cooling issues. <\/b>While they won\u2019t be much help if you have windows that aren\u2019t sealed or large gaps at the bottom of your door, a mini-split can help in a space that, for example, heats up quick in the summer because large windows take in so much sun.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What Size Should I Buy?<\/h2>\n<p>So, you\u2019re interested in getting a mini-split, but aren\u2019t sure what size to buy? It\u2019s time to do some math. Mini-split system delivery capacity is measured in BTUs, and to figure out how many BTUs you need your system to have, you need to know the size of the rooms you want to cool.<\/p>\n<p>Calculate the square feet of the room you want to cool. Include closets in the total. Once you have that number, you\u2019ll have a good idea of the capacity you\u2019ll need.<\/p>\n<p>The 12 BTU can cool and heat 500 square feet : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/mrcool-energy-star-diy-12-hp-115b25-ap7192776.html\">See more features of the 12 BTU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The 18 BTU can cool and heat 750 square feet: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/mrcool-energy-star-diy-18-hp-230b25-ap7192779.html\">See more features of the 18 BTU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The 24 BTU can cool and heat\u00a0 1000 square feet: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/mrcool-energy-star-diy-24-hp-230b25-ap7192782.html\">See more features of the 24 BTU<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\">\n<p>The 36 BTU can cool and heat 1500 square feet: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/mrcool-energy-star-diy-36-hp-230b25-ap7192785.html\">See more features of the 36 BTU<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Another thing to consider is how well insulated your rooms are. Are there any gaps around doors or windows? Cracks or holes in the walls or ceiling? This will affect how hard your AC unit needs to work as cold air and warm air escape. You could opt for a bigger model, but you\u2019ll save yourself more money in the long run by tracking down those air leaks and patching them up first.<\/p>\n<p>Picking a mini-split that is a good fit for your space needs ensures that your system will run efficiently. A too big unit will wear down more quickly because it will cycle more often, significantly shortening what should be a lengthy lifespan. A too small unit will struggle to properly cool the room, overworking itself, and potentially failing to properly remove humidity or filter air.<\/p>\n<h2>Wrapping Up<\/h2>\n<p>Ductless mini-splits offer you a high efficiency solution to your heating and cooling needs \u2013 they even come with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-install-a-mr-cool-ductless-mini-split-ac-unit-with-video\/\">DIY options<\/a>!
