Comfort. . .
Ductless mini-splits THE COMFORT SOLUTION Ductless mini-split systems are a great solution to a wide variety of installation challenges, giving contractors the ability to add cooling and heating in locations that previously seemed impossible. They’re ideal when installing ductwork is difficult, prohibitively expensive, or simply impractical. Residential and commercial structures, new construction and existing buildings, are candidates for mini-splits.
There’s more to comfort than just temperature. . . Advantages of an inverter ductless mini-split system Quiet Operation—The indoor air handler is “library quiet,” operating so quietly you may not realize it’s on, because the compressor operates at low frequency most of the time with no on/off cycling and the fan delivers balanced airflow MINI-SPLITS AND INDOOR AIR QUALITY According to the EPA, the air inside our homes is often more polluted than outside air.
This diagram shows a typical high wall mount installation: n The condensing unit is installed outdoors while the air handler is mounted inside on an exterior wall. A hole approximately 3” in diameter is drilled through the wall. The lines that carry refrigerant from the air handler to the condensing unit and back run through this hole. n A communication wire runs between the two components: power is supplied by the outdoor unit so there are no cords and plugs visible on the interior.
Inverter Technology: ‘CRUISE CONTROL’ FOR YOUR MINI-SPLIT SYSTEM All Comfort-Aire mini-splits use inverter technology to maximize comfort by reducing temperature fluctuations while saving an estimated 40% or more on energy consumption, compared with traditional mini-split systems. An inverter is an electrical device that varies the frequency of the power going to the compressor. This allows the compressor to adapt its power output to precisely match the load requirement.
Multi-Zone inverter flexibility When you need to condition more than one space, it’s not necessary to install separate systems. You can choose multi-zone models that let you cool and heat multiple rooms, and with our InverterFlex models, you can mix and match 1 to 5 air handlers to best match your room requirements. Each system uses one outdoor condensing unit tied to multiple indoor units, and each of the indoor units is independently controlled to meet specific comfort requirements.
Mini-Splits: ARE PACKED WITH COMFORT FEATURES Ultra-Quiet Operation Balanced air flow that’s so quiet, you may not realize the unit is turned on; in most modes you can set the fan to the low setting for quietest operation, unlike central systems where the fan is either on or off Attractive Appearance The low profile of wall mount indoor units, along with sleek grille design, results in an attractive, unobtrusive installation; outdoor units can be installed close to the building to preserve landscaping
WHAT DO WE MEAN BY ENERGY EFFICIENCY? In recent years, heating and cooling manufacturers have made significant advances in the efficiency of their systems in terms of energy usage. This is an especially important purchase consideration as fuel prices continue to rise. All Comfort-Aire mini-splits are pre-charged with R-410A, an environmentally friendly refrigerant. Cooling efficiency is measured by a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating. The higher the number, the more efficient the equipment.
