Ideal Spots for a Ductless Mini Split Air Conditioner

Ductless mini split air conditioners are great because they perform a lot like centralized systems but offer the convenience of window units. However, to make the most of this type of air conditioner, you have to make sure that it’s properly installed in the right spot by a trusted home heating repair and AC installation company.

 

 

Parts of a Ductless Mini Split Air Conditioner

Ductless mini split air conditioners have two main parts: an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. They also have conduits, which house power cables, suction tubing, refrigerant tubing and condensate drains to connect indoor and outdoor units.

General Guidelines for Indoor Units

  • Indoor units should be placed in areas that will allow air to be distributed evenly throughout the room.

  • Indoor units mounted on walls should be no more than eight feet from the floor to prevent cool air from being sent to the ceiling.

  • Indoor units In bedrooms should be placed directly above beds or on walls above your feet for maximum comfort.

  • Indoor units should be installed by HVAC and duct cleaning contractors in such a way that louvers and air filters are easy to access.

  • Indoor units installed above windows should be symmetrical with the windows.

General Guidelines for Outdoor Units

  • Outdoor units should be kept in open spaces for uninterrupted airflow.

  • Outdoor units should be placed on surfaces that can suppress vibrations to prevent premature deterioration of components.

  • Outdoor units should be kept out of direct sunlight and away from bushes and other vegetation.

We had our AC go out on one of the hottest days of the year. We called as soon as they opened and they came out so quickly and offered us some loaner units to keep our babies and animals cool in the meantime. Matt was so helpful and fixed the problem quickly. He went above and beyond to help us and we will be using Stone Heating and Air to replace our unit when it’s time. They’ll be our first call in the future!

Great Service, knowledgeable service technician This was for our guest house heater. I was very happy with the service provided. They were on time, polite and clean. They inspected the Monitor heater and then proceeded to clean it and they were able to fix that. Will definitely use for jobs in the future

Excellent service! Excellent service! Knowledgeable staff! I was very impressed with the responsiveness and knowledge of your team. Shortly after 1 called for an appointment, Dave and Gino did a thorough inspection of my system and explained all of the areas that needed repair or replacement. They gave me short and long-term options and the benefits of both. HVAC is not something I know a lot about so I had appreciated their patience. Overall, it was a great experience! 5 STARS!! Highly recommend Stone Heating and Air!
