Question 1

What is a mini split air conditioner?

Accepted Answer

A mini split air conditioner is a ductless cooling and heating system that consists of an outdoor compressor unit connected to one or more indoor air handlers. Unlike central air systems, mini splits don't require ductwork and allow you to control the temperature in individual rooms or zones. They're highly energy-efficient with SEER ratings typically ranging from 16-19, and they operate quietly while providing both cooling and heating capabilities.

Question 2

How much does it cost to install a mini split system?

Accepted Answer

Mini split installation costs vary based on the unit size, number of zones, and installation complexity. Our 12,000 BTU units start at $350, 18,000 BTU units at $490, and 24,000 BTU units at $600. Professional installation typically ranges from $500-$1,500 depending on the setup.

Question 3

What size mini split do I need for my room?

Accepted Answer

Room size determines the BTU capacity needed: 12,000 BTU units cool spaces up to 550 square feet, 18,000 BTU units handle 700-900 square feet, 24,000 BTU units work for 1,000-1,200 square feet, and 36,000 BTU units can cool areas up to 1,500 square feet. Consider factors like ceiling height, insulation, sun exposure, and local climate. Our HVAC experts can help you calculate the exact size needed for optimal efficiency.

Question 4

What's the difference between R-32 and R-410A refrigerant?

Accepted Answer

R-32 refrigerant is more environmentally friendly with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 675 compared to R-410A's GWP of 2,088. R-32 systems are typically 10% more energy efficient, require less refrigerant charge, and are easier to recycle. Most newer mini split systems use R-32, while older systems used R-410A. We carry both types to meet different system requirements and regulatory compliance needs.

Question 5

How energy efficient are mini split systems?

Accepted Answer

Mini split systems are highly energy efficient with SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings between 16-19, compared to central air systems that typically range from 13-16 SEER. The inverter technology allows the compressor to adjust speed based on cooling demand, reducing energy consumption by up to 30%. This translates to lower electricity bills and reduced environmental impact while maintaining consistent comfort.

Question 6

Can mini splits provide heating as well as cooling?

Accepted Answer

Yes, most of our mini split systems are heat pumps that provide both cooling and heating. Mini split heat pumps are effective in mild to moderate climates and can provide efficient heating down to about 5°F outdoor temperature. They're particularly popular in Florida, Texas, and Georgia where heating needs are moderate.

Question 7

How long do mini split systems last?

Accepted Answer

Quality mini split systems typically last 15-20 years with proper maintenance. Our PRIME and PG brand units come with a 2-year parts warranty and 5-year compressor warranty. Regular maintenance including filter cleaning, coil cleaning, and annual professional service helps maximize lifespan. The lack of ductwork reduces maintenance needs compared to central air systems.

Question 8

Do I need a permit to install a mini split?

Accepted Answer

Permit requirements vary by location. In Florida, Texas, and Georgia, most mini split installations require permits and must be performed by licensed HVAC technicians. The permit process typically involves electrical and mechanical permits. We recommend consulting with local authorities and using certified installers who can handle permit applications and ensure code compliance.

Question 9

How quiet are mini split indoor units?

Accepted Answer

Mini split indoor units operate at whisper-quiet levels, typically producing only 19-25 decibels of sound - quieter than a library. This makes them ideal for bedrooms, offices, and other quiet spaces. The outdoor units are also designed for quiet operation, usually operating at 48-58 decibels, similar to moderate rainfall.

Question 10

What maintenance do mini splits require?

Accepted Answer

Mini split maintenance is minimal compared to ducted systems. Monthly tasks include cleaning or replacing air filters and checking for obstructions around outdoor units. Annual professional maintenance should include coil cleaning, refrigerant level checks, electrical connection inspection, and drainage system cleaning. We provide maintenance guides and can connect you with certified technicians for professional service.

Question 11

Can I control mini splits with my smartphone?

Accepted Answer

Many of our modern mini split systems feature WiFi connectivity and smartphone app control. You can adjust temperature, set schedules, monitor energy usage, and receive maintenance reminders from anywhere. Some models also work with smart home systems like Alexa and Google Home for voice control. Check individual product specifications for smart features availability.

Question 12

What's included with your mini split systems?

Accepted Answer

All our mini split systems include the indoor air handler, outdoor condenser unit, remote control, and complete installation kit with refrigerant lines, electrical connections, mounting hardware, and detailed installation instructions. We also provide 2-year parts warranty and 5-year compressor warranty.
