Did you know you have several mini split indoor style options when it comes to your ductless mini-split installation?
That’s right, you are not just limited to the brand, but you have options as to your mini split indoor styles that you can select to match the decor of your home. The brands I trust and find to be comparable in performance and reliability are Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, and Daikin ductless mini-split heat pumps. You will not go wrong with any of these mini-split brands, and they all offer many indoor units to match the decor of your home. You can choose between a wall and floor unit, ceiling cassettes, and air handlers to distribute air just as a central air system but with the much higher SEER value.
Well, the name says it all. But if you are not familiar with a ductless mini-split indoor wall-mounted unit, you probably have seen one somewhere in your travels. They are very popular in restaurants and have been used in many home additions and remodeled spaces. These systems are becoming more popular being used throughout the home as the technology improves, and people see how well they blend into their homes. The wall-mounted unit is a surface mounted mini-air-handler that cools during the summer and heats in the cold weather.
Residential ductless mini-split indoor wall mounted units range in size from 7,000 thru 36,000 BTU’s (British Thermal Units). This range in unit size is perfect for small rooms such as bedrooms to large areas such as open concept homes that combine the kitchen, dining, and living areas.
The wall-mounted unit is easy to install and a cost-effective means to add energy-efficient air conditioning and heating to areas where installation of ductwork is not practical.
Not only are wall-mounted units attractive, but they are easy to maintain and operate. You can even easily remove the filter right at the wall-mounted unit to replace or clean the filter. Most wall-mounted units have wireless remote controls for individual operation. And, most systems are WiFi capable so that you can control them from anywhere.
The only drawback to the ductless mini-split indoor wall-mounted unit is the wall space that it requires for its installation. That includes the aesthetics if the room is small and the ceilings are low.
A floor unit is ideal if you want to keep with a more traditional look or do not have space for a wall-mounted unit. It is a clean, sleek looking self-contained air handler unit that will match any home decor. The ductless mini-split floor unit provides air conditioning and heating for many different space options.
The residential ductless mini-split indoor floor units range in size from 9,000 thru 24,000 BTU’s (British Thermal Units). This range in size is perfect for medium-sized rooms like living, additions, and kitchens. They are perfect for larger areas like open concept homes that combine the kitchen, dining, and living areas.
The floor unit is also easy to install and a cost-effective way to add energy-efficient air conditioning and heating to areas where installation of ductwork is not practical.
Just like the wall-mounted unit, the floor unit is attractive and easy to maintain and operate. You can even easily remove the filter right at the floor unit without a ladder to replace or clean the filter. Most floor units have hardwired thermostats to control the system. Wireless remote controls and WiFi capability are available options.
A ceiling cassette is ideal if you want a ductless mini-split air conditioning and heating system that blends into your home and has the look of an original install. The ceiling cassette unit is a self-contained air handler that sits between the ceiling joists above the ceiling with an attractive flush venting trim.
The mini-split ceiling cassette finished cover has vents on four sides to direct air around a room. The unit can also be installed in the corner of a room or along the wall because the vents can be directed to blow air to desired areas.
These ceiling cassettes range in size from 7,000 thru 48,000 BTU’s (British Thermal Units). They are perfect for small, medium, and large-sized rooms. They blend into the decor of your home and provide super-quiet operation.
The floor unit is also easy to install and a cost-effective way to add energy-efficient air conditioning and heating to areas where installation of ductwork is not practical.
Just like the other units, the ceiling cassettes are attractive and easy to maintain and operate. Most ceiling cassettes have hardwired thermostats to control the system. Wireless remote controls and WiFi capability are available options.
The indoor air handler works in the same manner as a central air conditioning and heating system but only better. Not only is the equipment so much more energy-efficient, but it can also be placed in tight areas. The air handler can be installed in a closet, in the basement to supply rooms above or in the attic to supply bedrooms below. The mini-split air handler is a self-contained piece of equipment that pushes air through ductwork that can provide multiple areas, so its application is very flexible. Supply and return registers are installed either in the ceiling, floor, or wall depending upon the application making for a clean look. Because ductwork is installed to direct air to the desired location, it allows for a custom placement of supply and return vents within a room.
Ductless mini-split air handlers range in size from 7,000 thru 48,000 BTU’s (British Thermal Units). They are perfect for small, medium, and large-sized rooms. They fit into the decor of your home easily and provide super-quiet operation because the air handler is installed remotely.
Although the air handler unit is a bit more work to install and requires additional materials, it is an excellent cost-effective option.
Just like the other units, the air handler is attractive and easy to maintain and operate. They have hardwired thermostats to control the system. Wireless remote controls and WiFi capability are available options.
The real bonus with having a mini-split system installed is the flexibility of the system. Not only can you install just one indoor unit, but with the proper outdoor unit, you can have multiple zones. And, the sweet thing about the multi-zone is that you can control each indoor unit individually. Plus, you can mix and match indoor units on a multi-zone system for a completely custom installation providing you multiple mini split indoor styles.
With all the different manufacturers of ductless mini-split brands on the market today, there are only a few I trust and would recommend to my friends and family. That’s because of warranty, technical support, and available companies that service the equipment.
Sure, you can always find less expensive ductless mini-split units by shopping around. But the ones offered at big box stores and online stores offering the DIY system won’t have the support you’ll want if something goes wrong.
I’m not saying these systems are a terrible choice, just that they do not have the support. When you buy one of the top three ductless mini-split brands, you get a support team behind the product; you won’t get from the big box or online store.
With many years of experience installing and servicing mini-split systems, I can confidently recommend one brand that has the quality and reliability that I trust.
When I’m asked by family, friends and customers’, I always recommend Fujitsu Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pumps. They are top of the line in my book.
