What
are mini split air conditioners?
Like the central air conditioner units, ductless
mini split air conditioners have two main components:
an outdoor compressor/condenser, and an indoor
air-handling unit. A conduit, which houses the
power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing,
and a condensate drain, links the outdoor and
indoor units through a small hole (3 inches usually)
that is drilled in the wall of the building. The
main advantages of mini split air conditioners
are their small size and flexibility for zoning
or heating and cooling individual rooms. The number
depends on how much heating or cooling is required
for the building or each zone (which is also affected
by how well the building is insulated). Since
each of the split air conditioner zones/rooms
will have it's own thermostat, you only need to
condition that area when someone is present, which
saves energy and money. If you are in a office
building at a higher floor, you can also install
Outside Compressor using our Wall Bracket.

Which Brand is the best?
With so many different brands
out there it does get confusing for the consumers.
We receive calls from confused consumers every
single day not knowing which brand to buy. Simple
way to figure that out is by checking your requirement
first, then the features you would like in your
AC and based on all this you can finally narrow
it down to three brands. Then see which one has
best package deal, who has the better warranty
and ofcourse if two brands provide similar packages
and same warranty then it comes to who has the
better price. PLEASE DO NOT go for AC unit that
is $50 cheap but has less features or poor SEER
rating. It is never worth
it. We have had customers who ended up
buying SEER 13 product when SEER 15 was available
with low ambient operation for $50 cheaper. But
they ended up spending $175 later in winter to
buy the back up electric heater, as the standard
SEER 13 would not produce heat when the outside
temperature went below 15 deg. In short if you
buy a high SEER AC unit, with inverter technology,
low ambience operation etc, you pay more today,
but it is your cheaper option in the long run,
as you save $60 approx. per month on electrical
bills. Plus they work lot more better than your
regular standard units with lot more advanced
features. If price is not a big concern, we rate
LG units as THE BEST in the industry. If you need
a quality brand with great customer feedbacks
and reviews but a bit cheaper than LG, we would
recommend YMGI brand and Friedrich is our third best rates brand
for quality and pricing. As per our customer feedbacks
and reviews our TOP 4 brands are :
1. YMGI : This
brand is very popular mainly for quality products
and good tech support in place and their prices
are cheaper than most. Their product quality is
excellent with good feedback from customers and
their promotional prices are unbeatable. Their
single zones 9000 btu, 12000 btu and 18000 btu
qualify for federal tax credits (see details).
Some of their dual and tri zones can run on different
modes unlike other brands. For example, if you
buy a dual zone from this brand, one indoor unit
can run on a AC mode and other can run on a heat
mode at the same time. Whereas with other brands
both the indoor units are supposed to be either
on AC or heat mode.
2. LG: Again
LG is a big name brand. Excellent product. Comes
with ART COOL and MIRROR PANELS that you cannot
find in any other brand. LG products are seen
a lot in european countries. LG has both standard
and Inverter type units with high SEER ratings.
Their dual zones and tri zone are only one of
the few in the industry that qualifies for federal
tax credits. They have quality single zones that
are standard, but they do have INVERTER units
as well with high SEER product.
3. Shinco:
Shinco split air conditioners are equipped with
a state of the art inverter compressor & heat
pump. Most 2010 models are also ENERGY STAR certified
therefore are eligible for tax credits. Each unit
also comes with a installation kit. Shinco units
a perfect balance of power and efficiency at an
extreme low price!
4. Friedrich:
One of the top brands in the Industry. Excellent
product. Great tech support offered to our existing
customers, no complaints whatsoever with this
brand. This brand offers high SEER products with
inverter technology like YMGI does.
5. Haier: Haier
products are very reliable. They have great cuistomer
support in place. Their prices are low but they
do not come iwth complete install kits as YMGI.
But you can always buy that from your installer
or Home Depot for just $200.
What size unit is good
for my application? How to choose the right AC?
Keep a pen and paper next to
you and write down answers to below questions
first. Then move to step 2.
A. First question is how many
air handlers (indoor units) would you need?
Answer to this comes from the number of rooms
you want to cool or heat. Remember since this
is ductless, you will need ONE air handler per
room. But if your kitchen, dinning area and living
room are all connected and open to each other,
in that case you will need just ONE for this entire
area. But if your dinning room has walls around
it with only a door size opening from the kitchen,
in that case you may want to put ONE in kitchen
and ONE in dinning room.
B. Are the rooms well insulated? If not we will
call it "Situation B"
C. How many windows you have in each room? Are
these energy efficient windows? (single pane or
double pane windows). If you have 2-3 windows
in one room and they are single pane windows that
are not energy efficient, we will call it a "Situation
C"
D. Then you need to know the height of your ceiling.
Is it a regular ceiling or more than 10 ft high?
If it has a high ceiling of 15 or 20 ft, we will
call it is "Situation D"
E. Do you have any heat generating source in these
rooms like sunlight, equipments, computers/server
or kitchen etc? If yes, we will call it a "Situation
E"
F. Last but not the least you
need to know the sq ft of each room.
Once you have the above info,
it gets simple then. Below table will help you
decide and give you a approx. estimation of what
you really need.
Please
consult your HVAC installer before making
your decision. Below info can help you decide,
but it cannot be guaranteed accurate under
different circumstances.

For
room more than 1000 sq ft, example it is
a office space with 1500 sq ft, you will
need more than one unit in that one big
room for better circulation. So you can
buy a 2-3 sinagles zone units or dual zone,
trizone or a quadzone depending upon how
big the room is as per above calculations.
Now once you have decided how
many units you need, it is time to see what features
you want. Low Ambience Feature For example if you live in New York where
the temperature goes below 15 deg quiet a few
times in a year and if you need this AC unit to
do the heating job as well in the winter time,
in that case DO NOT buy the standard SEER 13 without
Low Ambience. You need the unit that has Low Ambience
operation as they can produce heat in temperature
as low as minus 4 deg or zero deg depending upon
which unit you end up buying. YMGI/LG/Friedrich/Haier
for example have units that produce heat in temperature
as low as zero deg.
HIGH
SEER AND INVERTER FEATURE
Units with high SEER and inverter techonlogy save
you a lot of money on electricity bills. As much
as $50 per month approx. So if you have a high
SEER unit with Inverter which is $300 - $400 more
than the standard unit with SEER 13, you still
will be better off buying the expensive one, as
after 6-8 months savings are all yours plus such
units are lot more advanced with many other good
features.
How does Inverter work?
INVERTER technology delivers
precise cooling or heating power as per your choice.
It works faster and saves energy while ensuring
uniform temperature.
In Depth details:
The inverter tag found on some
air conditioners signifies the ability of the
unit to continuously regulate its thermal power
flow.
Traditional reverse-cycle air-conditioners use
a heat pump that is either working at maximum
capability or switched off, as the compressor's
speed cannot be varied. In order to regulate temperature
a thermistor is used to measure the ambient air
temperature and switch the compressor on when
the ambient air temperature is too far from the
desired temperature.
Air-conditioners bearing the inverter tag use
a variable-frequency drive to control the speed
of the motor and thus the compressor. The variable-frequency
drive uses a rectifier to convert the incoming
AC current to DC and then uses pulse-width modulation
of the DC current within an inverter to produce
AC current of a desired frequency. The AC current
is used to drive a brushless motor or an induction
motor. As the speed of a brushless motor is synchronised
to the frequency of the AC current, it is thus
possible to build a compressor that can be run
at different speeds. Similarly, the voltage and
frequency can be varied as needed to efficiently
run an induction motor at different speeds. A
microcontroller can then sample the current ambient
air temperature and adjust the speed of the compressor
appropriately.
Eliminating stop-start cycles increases efficiency,
extends the life of components, and helps eliminate
sharp fluctuations in the load the air-conditioner
places on the power supply.
The inverter principle has been applied to a
wide range of household appliances including microwave
ovens, washing machines, and so on.
If you want Ductless
split air conditioner with install kit in your
package deal Usually brands like YMGI, Shicno, AirCon,
Klimaire will have a package deal with installation
kit included. But other brands will not come with
install kit at all. In such cases we offer Copper
Tubings, Service valve adpater, Condensor pads
etc as optional products to buy. Your installer
probably will already have them in his truck.
If not you can buy them separately from us when
buying brands like LG, Sanyo, Friedrich etc.
What is the best package
deal available in the industry? We have many good deals on our website.
But to keep it simple we strongly recommend YMGI
products as the best package deal out there in
the Industry as of today. Here is the justification:
1. Below YMGI products have
HIGH SEER.
2. Inverter technology
3. Low Ambience Operation.
4. They come with complete install kits.
5. They come with 5 year on compressor and 1 year
on parts.
6. Usually these are $350 more than what they
are priced now. So yes, they are at promotional
offer now. If you compare it to any other brand
with similar features and quality, this product
is unbeatable.
7. They have thier own dehumidification mode.
Other brands will have dehumidification only when
your AC mode is on. But this one has a dehumidification
mode of its own. Other features are Auto Restart,
Sleep mode, Auto Swing Mode etc.
Is this something that
I could install myself?
YES and NO. Depends if you are
good technically. You may or may not be able to
do it. Some people do the handyman work on the
indoor and outdoor unit and pay a small amount
to an electrician to hard wire the outdoor unit
and pay HVAC professional to vaccuum the lines
before releasing the refrigerant. Some people
choose to do it all by themselves with their past
experience. Manufacturer recommends to have it
installed by an HVAC professional. Any of your
local professional air conditioning company should
be able to install it easily for couple of hundred
dollars. It is worth spending this money initially,
this way you can have it installed professionally
and enjoy the benefits of energy efficient mini
split AC for year's to come. You may loose your
warranty in some cases if you install this unit
yourself. Some brands specifically require you
to have an invoice from your HVAC installer to
provide warranty help. So make sure to read warranty
details before making your purchase.
How
does it work?
For example the our mini splits use a high quality
compressor and environmentally friendly green
refrigerant to cool your home, and an innovative
heat pump technology to keep your interiors warm
in cold weather. The near silent operation is
made possible by installing the compressor outside
your home or offi ce. The air handler (indoor
AC unit) in your dwelling is designed for
ideal climate control, allowing you to cool or
heat or dehumidify your interiors.
You can conveniently adjust the fan speed, air
flow direction, and oscillating louvers via remote
control, or simply set the 24 hour timer for care
free operation.
How much do they cost to
run?
These energy efficient units provide localized
cooling and heating for certain parts of your
home or office, rather than cooling or heating
other areas that are not occupied. This localized
climate control enables you to reduce your energy
bills. SEER ratings we have is the best standard
in industry and mini split AC's are most energy
efficient AC's you can ever find.
What is the operating range
of the unit?
The unit can cool your room as low as 61°F
and can heat your room as high 90°F.
It works efficiently when the outside tempearture
is between 17°F
and 109°F. This is
standard with ALL brands.
Does mini split air conditioner
have air purification capabilities? Air filters?
Yes. Most of them have Cold catalyst air filter.
BUT LG IS THE BEST IN AIR PURIFICATION WITH IT'S
PLASMA AIR PURIFICATION CAPABILITIES. SEE VIDEO
BELOW
How
noisy are the units? WHISPER QUIET OPERATION
is one of the many reasons why they are very popular.
The indoor units are typically no noisier than
a standard domestic fan, but as they do make some
noise, consideration should be given to their
location.
Why
choose a mini split air conditioner? What are
the advantages of ductless split AC? => Whsiper quiet
operation. => Energy efficient,
save money on electric bills! => Lot cheaper
than central air conditioner. => Easy installation
procedure. => Long term
solution, good for new additions or when replacing
existing air conditioner.
A mini split air conditioner is a cost effective
choice to central air conditioning. However, it
is typically more expensive than a wall or window
air conditioner and you need a professional to
install it. Since the compressor sits outside
the split air conditioner is very quiet and efficient.
Since mini splits have no ducts, they avoid the
energy losses associated with the ductwork of
central forced air systems. Duct losses can account
for more than 30% of energy consumption for space
conditioning, especially if the ducts are in an
unconditioned space such as an attic.
Mini split air conditioners are also sometimes
easier to install than other types of air conditioning
systems. For example, the hook-up between the
outdoor and indoor units generally requires only
a three inch hole through a wall for the conduit.
Also, most manufacturers of this type of system
can provide a variety of lengths of connecting
conduits. So, if necessary, you can locate the
outdoor unit as far away as 50 feet from the indoor
evaporator depending upon which mini split AC
you buy. This makes it possible to cool rooms
on the front side of a building or house with
the compressor in a more advantageous or inconspicuous
place on the outside of the building.In comparison
to other add-on systems, split air conditioners
offer more flexibility in interior design options.
The indoor air handlers can be suspended from
a ceiling, mounted flush into a drop ceiling,
or hung on a wall. Floor-standing models are also
available with LG. Most indoor units have profiles
of about seven inches deep and usually come with
sleek, high tech-looking jackets.
How
will ductless mini split air conditioner look
in my home or office? see below...
Mini Split AC is an amenity
that has been designed to blend harmoniously with
your home and offi ce interiors. These high performance,
high quality appliances are offered in three beautiful
designs. Unlike window mounted air conditioners
of yesterday, the ductless mini split air conditioners
are mounted high up on walls, not in windows,
preserving your outdoor views for all to enjoy.
See examples below:-
What is HSPF?
HSPF is the abbreviation for the Heating Seasonal Performance Factor. This factor rates the efficient operation of the heating portion of the heat pump. As the HSPF increases, the unit functions at a more efficient level. New units in the United States have HSPF ratings from 7.0 to 9.4.
Heating Seasonal Performance Factor-the total heating output in B.T.U's during it's normal usage period for heating divided by the total electrical energy input in watt hours during the same period
What is a Heat Pump and How Does It Work?
A Heat Pump is an electrical device that takes heat from one place and transfers it to another. A heat pump transfers heat by circulating environmentally friendly refrigerant through a cycle of evaporation and condensation. A compressor then pumps the refrigerant between two heat exchange coils. In one coil the refrigerant is evaporated at low pressure and absorbs the heat from the surroundings. The refrigerant is then compressed on the way to the other coil where it condenses at high pressure. Now the heat pump releases the heat it absorbed earlier in the cycle. This process is reversible for the summer months and the heat pump acts as a cooling system.
Why Purchase A Heat Pump?
A heat pump is the most energy efficient way to heat and cool your home.
Heat pumps utilize the renewable heat sources in our surroundings in order to produce heat. The air, ground and water provide useful heat that is warmed up by the heat pump and delivered into the home. Sources such as the air, ground and water provide more heat than realized and the heat pump makes use of these sources that are continuously heated by the sun.
WIth British Columbia's mild weather conditioins, having a heat pump is the most logical, environmentally friendly and efficient source of in-home heating and cooling.
How Do You Measure A Heat Pump's Efficiency?
Heat pumps provide both cooling and heating, so the efficiency is measured in two different ways. When the heat pump cools, a SEER rating or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio measures the efficiency. The SEER rating is similar to gas mileage on a car. The higher the SEER rating the more efficient it is. Most of today's heat pumps have a SEER rating between 13.0 and 19.0 SEER. When the heat pump heats the home, a Heating Seasonal Performance Factor or HSPF rates the efficiency. The HSPF rating works the same way as the SEER rating does. The higher the HSPF, the more efficient the system is. Most new units today have a HSPF rating between 7.7 to 9.0 HSPF.
How does an air conditioner work?
An air conditioner seems as if it cools your home's
air, but it actually makes your home less warm by removing
heat from the indoor air and transferring that heat
to the outdoor air. Heat is extracted from the
home by passing indoor air across a refrigerant coil
in the indoor unit. Refrigerant lines then carry the
heat to the outdoor unit, where it is released into
the outside air. The cooling cycle continues until the
indoor temperature reaches the thermostat setting.
What does SEER mean?
Season Energy Efficiency Ratio. It is a system for rating the efficiency of air conditioning equipment. SEER is calculated by dividing the cooling capacity in BTU/H, of a continuously operating air conditioner, by the electric power input, or watts, of power consumed. The higher the SEER, the less the unit should cost to operate.
What is a heat pump and how does it work?
A heat pump combines cooling and heating in one unit. When cooling, the heat pumps operates like an air conditioner, removing the heat from indoors and transferring it outdoors. In the winter the heat pump takes heat from the outdoor air and transfers it inside your home. Even at freezing temperatures, there is heat in the outdoor air that can be used to warm a home with a heat pump. To raise the heat pump’s output on very cold days, electric resistance heaters are installed in the indoor section of the unit.
What is R-410A?
R-410A is a hydro fluorocarbon (HFC), which is an environmentally friendly refrigerant that is considered by most to be the likely replacement for R-22.
What is Freon/R-22?
Hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), known as R-22 has been
used as a refrigerant for more than 40 years by
HVAC manufacturers. While HCFC's are considered safe
for the environment they do contain chlorine which is
classed as an ozone-depleting chemical. The Clean Air
Act set a target date of January 1, 2010 after which
HVAC manufacturers can no longer build products that
use R-22. Manufacturers of refrigerants will still be
allowed to produce R-22 until January 1, 2020 after
which time only recovery and recycling will provide
R-22 for servicing older installed systems.
Is The Refrigerant Used In A Heat Pump Safe For The Environment?
Both Carrier and Lennox heat pumps use envronmentally friendly R-410A refrigerant. This refrigerant does not deplete the ozone layer and is seen as the logical replacement for Freon R-22. Carrier beat the competition by six years and introduced Puron refrigerant or R-410A. Use of R-410A adds to the efficiency and realiability of a heat pump.
Are there any good reasons for replacing my existing system if it is still functioning?
You should consider replacing your system if it is old, and therefore less efficient or if it will probably need major repairs in the near future. New systems can be 60% more efficient than systems built only 10 years ago. Normal wear and tear can reduce the efficiency of your system. Another costly season of utility bills or paying for an expensive failed part can go a long way toward the cost of a new system.
How do I know what to buy?
Make sure the unit that you select is the correct size for your needs. Systems that are too large or too small can be inefficient. We would be pleased to provide an energy analysis to show you the true operating cost. If someone in the family has allergies, an air filtration system should be part of the installation.
What does it mean to zone my house and why should I zone my house?
A zoning system is designed for the many ways you use your home. Maybe you're caught up in family "thermostat wars"? Or perhaps you have unoccupied areas that do not need conditioning? A Lennox® zoning system allows you to divide your home into separate areas, giving you the comfort and control you've always wanted. The main benefits of residential zoning are: Comfort Zoning meets the specific temperature and airflow requirements of one area, without affecting other areas. Efficiency A properly designed zoning system can save you hundreds of dollars in energy costs each year. Control Zoning divides the home into different areas and comfort into different levels, giving you more choices and control than ever before. Quiet Performance When integrated with variable speed and/or two-stage HVAC systems, zoning allows your heating and cooling equipment to deliver peak performance and efficiency without continually operating at peak capacity. Lower speeds mean lower sound levels.
What else might be needed if I replace my old system?
Beside the installation of new equipment, other items need to be inspected and possibly replaced, such as, thermostat, ducts, refrigerant piping, electrical service, wiring, condensate piping, insulation, flue piping and terminations, chimney liner, slabs, filter, registers, grills, drain pans and evaporator coil.
Should I change my indoor coil?
When replacing your air conditioner or heat pump the answer is probably yes. If only the outdoor portion is changed the efficiency of the entire system could be lowered and consequently your savings could be less.
How long should my unit last?
With proper maintenance, industry averages suggest that
an air conditioner should last 12-15 years (high humidity/salt
air applications may be less than that) and a gas furnace
should last as long as 20 or 25 years.
How often should I change or clean my filters?
Dirty filters should be replaced to prevent equipment from working harder, resulting in energy waste and possibly causing damage to your unit. Filters should generally be replaced every month when the system is running. Filters should be replaced with the same kind and size as your original filter. If the filter is not disposable, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning it.
Should I cover my outdoor unit in the winter?
Covering the unit is not necessary. Air conditioners are built to withstand a wide range of climate changes. Rain even helps keep your unit clean. Since heat pumps run all year long, they should not be covered.
Should I set my thermostat fan to the "ON" position so the fan runs all the time? (not available with all brands and models)?
There are advantages. One is full-time filtering of the air in your home. Another is that you can maintain a more even temperature throughout your home.
What causes indoor air pollution?
Many everyday household items contribute to poor indoor air quality. Compounds found in carpeting, furniture, upholstery and drapery fabric consistently emit gas or fumes. Other sources of pollutants can include, but are not limited to, cleaning agents, paints and personal care products. Also, newer homes that are tightly sealed for energy efficiency tend to limit air circulation, which can contribute to a buildup of contaminants. Likewise, things like weather stripping and storm doors keep stale air in and fresh air out.
How can I improve my indoor air quality?
There are five basic strategies for outsmarting indoor air pollution: Identify the problem:
The first step toward better indoor air is to identify the types of pollutants present in the home. The best way to do this is to schedule an in-home air-quality test. Reduce concentrations of particles and bioaerosols
Routine cleaning and housekeeping helps reduce indoor air pollutants, but these simple fixes are not cure-alls. Some contaminants are so small that they may escape through the vacuum or never land on a surface. Lennox HEPA filtration systems, electronic air cleaners, high-efficiency air filters capture even the smallest of particles and bioaerosols. Reduce or eliminate chemical vapors and odors
Chemical vapors and odors can come from many different sources inside and outside the home. Once inside the home, these potentially toxic pollutants circulate through the ductwork, entering every room and living space. A Lennox air purification system removes and destroys 50% of household chemical vapors and odors within 24 hours. Ventilate Your Home
Today's modern homes are well-insulated and sealed to conserve energy, which means airborne pollutants have no way to escape. Lennox® ventilation systems help remove particles and bioaerosols by exchanging stale, recirculated indoor air with fresh, filtered outside air.
Control Temperature and Humidity
Improper humidity levels and high temperatures can actually increase concentrations of particles and bioaerosols. Lennox SignatureStat™ and thermostats regulate moisture levels and temperatures to improve indoor air quality and enhance comfort.
