Ductless Mini-Split Uses and Installation include retrofitting add-ons to homes with “non-ducted” heating and cooling systems.
Some of these systems include forced hot water heating systems, space heaters such as wood, kerosene, and propane.
They’re also an excellent choice for room additions where extending or installing distribution ductwork is not practical.
Check out Fujitsu’s Ductless Mini-Split Lineup by visiting their website at Fujitsu General so you can see the difference yourself.
Homes with inefficient electric heat such as electric baseboards, furnaces, wall heaters, electric radiant heat etc. You will benefit with your new ductless mini-split heat pump because it will also provide cooling.
Homes that do not have existing heating and cooling ductwork such as forced hot water radiators or baseboard heat or as in older homes, steam heat radiators.
Homes with expensive central heating systems due to high fuel costs or inefficient heating and cooling systems.
Ductless Mini-Split uses and installation are excellent for additions or outbuildings such as sheds, barns, and garages where extending ductwork for cooling and heating is not feasible.
Ductless Mini-Split Uses are excellent for rooms that are not regularly occupied because the indoor units are indvidually controlled.
Another great ductless mini-split heat pump use is for spaces adjacent to unconditioned spaces where ductwork would be exposed to cold or hot temperatures making the system inefficient.
Mini-slit heat pump uses and installation in new construction homes where there is high fuel costs.
Older commercial buildings with no existing ductwork for air conditioning or expansions.
Ductless mini-split heat pumps uses and installation methods have been for decades overseas in Europe and Asia.
Ductless mini-split heat pumps are different from traditional home heating and cooling systems by providing both heating and cooling through a single peice of equipment.
Heat pumps have mainly been used in warmer climates in the southern part of the united states for decades.
However, with the improved heat pump technology, today’s heat pumps can provide heating in climates where the temperature falls to -15 degrees farheighiegt.
Instead of costly and bulky ductwork, a ductless mini-split heat pumps uses an attractive indoor unit air handler which is connected to an outdoor (very quiet operating) condensing unit via small linesets.
You can have a simple one indoor unit installation or opt for a multi-indoor installation where each indoor unit is separately controlled.
The standard mini-split heat pumps provide indoor heating until the temperature outdoors falls below 5 degrees Fahrenheit so you’ll want to have another heating source on those days.
If you want to use your mini-split system for your main heating source, you will want to have a High-Heat/Hyper Heat XLTH type unit installed.
These High-Heat mini-splits are designed to provide heating in your home even if the outside temperature is -15 degrees Fahrenheit.
Here is an easy and straightforward way to size your mini-split heat pump system.
The first thing you’ll want to do is calculate the square footage of the room and area you’re looking to cool and heat.
Each indoor unit provides the required BTU’s for cooling and heating to maintain a comfortable environment throughout the room while being highly efficient while doing its job, i.e., keeping you comfortable, no matter the season.
To get started picking the correct mini-split system, you’ll want to figure the square footage of the room (length x width = square footage) and check it against our table below.
For multi-zone systems, you will do the same thing as above and choose the multi-zone mini-split system package closest to your figures.
Choose the room or area square footage that you are looking to install the inside heat pump unit.
7,000 BTUHeat Pump System is appropriate for up to a 200SqFt room or area.
9,000 BTUHeat Pump System is appropriate for up to a 400SqFt room or area.
12,000 BTUHeat Pump System is appropriate for a 400sqft to 600sqft room or area.
15,000 BTUHeat Pump System is appropriate for a 500SqFt to 700SqFt room or area.
18,000 BTUHeat Pump System is appropriate for a 600SqFt to 800SqFt room or area.
24,000 BTUHeat Pump System is appropriate for a 700SqFt to 1,000SqFt room or area.
30,000 BTUHeat Pump System is appropriate for a 1,000SqFt to 1,400SqFt room or area.
36,000 BTUHeat Pump System is appropriate for a 1,200SqFt to 1,500SqFt room or area.
42,000 BTUHeat Pump System is appropriate for a 1,500SqFt to 1,800SqFt room or area.
