Mini Split Systems

Mini-Split System Installations

If you're having trouble regulating the temperature in your home, you may want to consider a mini-split system. Unlike traditional central air systems and heating systems, mini-split systems allow you to control the temperature in each room of your entire house.

At American Comfort Services, we have installed many Raleigh mini split systems and can help you decide if it's the right fit for your home.

What is a Mini-Split System?

Mini-splits are heating systems and central air systems that allow you to control the temperatures in each room of your home.

They come with two main components, an outdoor compressor, and an indoor air-handling unit. They are easy to install and generally only require one three-inch hole through a wall to install the conduit. This is where the power and communication cables are located as well as the copper tubing and condensation drain line that links the outdoor and indoor units.

Many people who are building a new home opt for mini-split systems. They can also be added to homes with non-ducted heating systems and can make good retrofit add-ons.

Mini-split systems are good investments as they typically last about 20 years. Throughout that time, the energy and maintenance savings add up, making it a worthwhile investment.

Mini-Split Maintenance Tips

While mini-split systems require less maintenance than other heating and cooling systems, you can't ignore them altogether. There are some things you should do regularly to maintain your system:

• Check for leaks in the refrigerant tubing and fix them as soon as possible
