Mini-split air conditioners aren’t new and were invented in Japan. But as they gain popularity, we’re ready to provide local homeowners with more energy-efficient, eco-friendly HVAC solutions. Ductless mini-split technology is effective for heating and cooling in Ohio’s variable climate.
How Does a Mini-Split Differ from a Regular AC Unit?
While traditional HVAC systems use ductwork to move cool air around, a mini-split AC system does not. It consists of an outdoor condenser and an indoor air handler that delivers cool air directly into a room. Depending on the system, up to eight indoor units can connect to a single condenser via a conduit with refrigerant, drain, and electrical lines.
A mini-split unit can be installed independently of your existing ducted AC system. This saves time and money because we don’t connect it to your ductwork or install new ducts. A mini-split system can also be installed in a smaller home with no ductwork.
Why Should I Get a Mini-Split Air Conditioner?
Mini-splits have numerous benefits. They’re used in homes, commercial spaces, and industrial buildings for the following reasons:
- Versatility: Each indoor air handler has a separate thermostat. You can set the temperature for individual rooms or zones and use the AC only when needed
- Energy Efficiency: Mini-splits eliminate energy losses from ductwork. They also use inverters that control motor speed and cooling output to save even more energy
- Lower Costs: Aside from not requiring air ducts, a mini-split can help lower your monthly energy bills. This may save you money over time
- Quiet Operation: Ductless mini-splits operate more quietly than traditional air conditioners. Mitsubishi split system ACs are known for their whisper-quiet performance
- Easy Installation: The installation process requires less work than with a traditional AC system. Therefore, it’s quicker and minimizes disruptions in your routine
- Improved Indoor Air Quality: Indoor mini-split units have high-quality air filters. The absence of air ducts also contributes to less dust and dirt at home
How We Install Mini-Split Systems
Mini-split units, like other air conditioners, come in different sizes. A 9,000 British Thermal Unit (BTU) mini-split can cool a small room. Its efficacy is generally limited to around 350 square feet. However, an 18,000 BTU mini-split can cool a space of up to 1,000 square feet, while a 24,000 BTU mini-split can cool an area of up to 1,500 square feet.
At Apex Pros, our technicians find the best mini-split for your home. They determine how much cooling power you need, which helps decide how many indoor units to install and the required capacity of each air handler. Each unit is securely mounted high on a wall, so it’s out of the way.
Installing a mini-split system does not require tearing up walls and ceilings. We drill small holes to connect refrigerant lines from the air handlers to the outdoor condenser (in the wall directly behind each unit). The process is simple, but our technicians ensure your Dayton home is protected and leave no trace of dirt once they leave.
But before they do, our skilled installers test the system and explain how to operate and care for it. Therefore, you can get the most out of your new mini-split.
Does My Ductless Mini-Split Need a Repair?
Apex Pros also provides mini-split repair in Dayton. Although reliable and less complex than ducted AC systems, mini-split systems can develop issues. Here are some common signs you should call us about:
- A room isn’t getting cool enough.
- A mini-split unit makes rattling, banging, and other strange sounds.
- The system constantly cycles on and off.
- An indoor unit develops a water leak.
- A control or display does not respond.
- Your energy bills are higher than normal.
Our trained professionals can fix issues ranging from clogged filters or drain lines to faulty thermostats, refrigerant leaks, loose components, faulty sensors, damaged control boards, and malfunctioning compressors.
A Word on Mini Split Maintenance
Proper maintenance can reduce the risk of needing major repairs. Your ductless mini-split system should be serviced at least once a year. Spring maintenance ensures it can handle the load all summer (add fall maintenance if your mini-split is also a heat pump). Our technicians clean evaporator and condenser coils, check refrigerant levels, and complete other important tasks. Nonetheless, don’t forget to clean or replace filters in between service visits.
