When considering purchasing a ductless mini-split AC system, there are several important factors to take into account:
1. Size of the Space to Be Cooled
The total size and amount of rooms that need to be heated and cooled will determine the appropriate BTU rating for the system. Larger rooms will require more BTUs. Therefore, it’s essential to select a unit that has an appropriate BTU rating for the area being cooled.
2. Number of Indoor Units Needed
It’s important to ensure that the number of indoor units you need to cool the entire space can be supported by a single outdoor unit.
3. Energy Efficiency of the System
The SEER rating is a measurement of the system’s energy efficiency. The higher the SEER rating, the more efficient the unit. It’s important to note that mini-splits must have a 13.0 SEER rating to be used in the United States, according to federal requirements.
4. Cost
The cost of purchasing a ductless mini-split AC system will depend on factors like the size of the space to be cooled, the number of indoor units needed, and the energy efficiency of the system. Consider both the upfront cost and long-term energy savings when making the purchase decision.
By considering these factors, you can choose a ductless mini-split AC system that will provide efficient and effective cooling for your space.
