Here is a list of circumstances in which a mini split system will be a solid and recommended option.
Great retrofit add-ons
Because
of minimal damage to the window structure or wall, split units tend to
make excellent retrofit add-ons, especially in smaller and older houses
where air ducts will take up too much space. Apart from this, when
quietness in a space is extremely important, split units are the best
choice. Places such as churches, hospitals can benefit a lot from mini
split HVAC systems.
Apartments on first floor
Split
units make a lot of sense for apartments on first floor where window
units and portable unit vents represent a security problem because of
the need to keep the window open during all times when making use of
portable systems.
Also,
when using duct extensions is impractical, like in small apartments,
introducing a mini split unit makes more sense. Think bedrooms, sun
rooms, home offices and workshops. Also, in industrial settings and
warehouse posts making use of split system HVAC units is more conducive.
If you live in a place with moderate winter climates
In
moderate weather conditions, such as the ones found in the state of
California, split HVAC systems can be utilized effectively both as heat
pumps and air conditioners to reduce the heating bills during the winter
season and cooling bills in the summer season.
When people who live together want different temperature settings
In
a house where people with different preferences for temperature
settings live or work in the same premises, it is best to install a mini
split cooling system on the wall near the ceiling or mid-height. You
can either install it to a drop ceiling or suspend it from the ceiling.
By choosing the right air flow direction and placement from a mini split
unit, you can easily take care of the preferences of numerous different
"temperature personalities" living in the same house.
Single family homes with around four rooms
Finally,
large houses with more than four rooms are suitable for mini split HVAC
systems as normally a single outside unit can lodge up to four units
inside. You will easily save money by choosing a central air
conditioning system as there will be more control over the temperatures
in the individual "zones" or rooms as well as because of no losses
within the ducts.
If
these circumstances apply to your house, then your house is a good
candidate for installation of a mini split HVAC system, either for
heating, cooling or for both. One of the best ways to find out where you
stand is to get in touch with an expert or by looking through the
internet for more information. You can also find other budget friendly
options for your house if you research well.
