Mini Split AC Units

This time on ac repair Boise, what is a “mini split” ac system.  At Value Heating  Inc. we do ac repair Boise!  One of the systems we repair is called a mini split ac unit.  We offer Mitsubishi systems and feel they are the best around.  A mini split is the type of ac unit the entire world (outside of the US) uses to cool homes and offices.  These systems are used for several different reasons including easy of installation and huge energy savings.  Mini splits now have a wide range of types and styles but for this blog we will talk about the standard mini split unit.

AC Repair Boise – How It Works

It is made up of 2 main parts, the air handler and the condensing unit.  The air handler is the part that moves air around.  As the condensing unit is the part outside creating all the cooling.  These systems are better in many ways than traditional units.  They are SUPER quiet and efficient.  They use different technology that runs the compressor and fan motors only at the speed needed to cool your home.  Rather than run a large compressor full speed all the time.  These units slow the compressor down when only a little cooling is needed.  This brings the cost of running them way down.  On most systems there is no duct work involved so there is less cost to install them.  Also no ducting to get dirty.  Most mini splits in use in the US over the last 20 years have been mainly for one room.  However with new models out they are now being installed to control entire homes and office buildings.

Zoning Systems

These newer systems use more than one air handler hooked to the condensing units to form zones.  These zones can then be used to cool and heat multiple areas at different times.  By using this method only the rooms that need attention are active.  This saves even more money by not cooling areas needlessly.  There are also models that can use ducting if needed for special areas.  They have specialized air handlers that mount in the ceiling as well as many other options.  Many of these units are energy star rated and qualify for local and national rebates.  These units only account for a very small portion of the current market.  These systems are more reliable than standard units which decrease the need for an ac repair Boise.  If you have a hot bonus room or are looking to make that “man cave” comfortable these systems are ideal.  Give Value Heating Inc. a call and let us know your needs.  We are experts in our field with over 32 years in the a/c repair industry.   We are here to help you.
