Dangers of Skipping Seasonal HVAC Maintenance Visits
HVAC maintenance is a cost-effective way to make sure your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system work efficiently throughout the . . .
Mini-split HVAC systems can be single-zoned or multi-zoned. Single-zoned systems heat or cool a single room or zone. Multi-zoned systems heat or cool a few rooms or a whole house. One outdoor compressor unit can supply enough power for as many as five indoor units. The wall-mounted indoor components are sleek, streamlined, and compact. Continue reading to find out how these systems can be used to create HVAC zoning within your Fort Worth, TX home.
Single-zoned mini-splits are ideal in rooms that are way too warm in summer and much too chilly in winter. Besides banishing discomfort, a single-zoned unit may reduce heating and cooling output from the central HVAC system.
Compared to forced air systems, ductless systems are remarkably efficient HVAC products. Ductless mini-splits don’t lose conditioned air through leaky ducts. With ductless HVAC, you can disregard ductwork cleaning and sealing going forward.
Every mini-split indoor unit has its own remote thermostat. You can set a different temperature in each room. The family thermostat wars will conclude peacefully since everyone can now have the temperature their way. Typical savings with a multi-zoned mini-split system are between 30% and 40% compared to central HVAC systems.
Pairing a Wi-Fi smart thermostat with a ductless mini-split might seem like the ultimate in comfort and convenience. With Wi-Fi-enabled devices, you can monitor temperatures at home remotely. Wi-Fi learning thermostats observe your behavior with the HVAC system, and they use what they learn to create your preferred indoor conditions. Unfortunately, many Wi-Fi thermostats are incompatible with ductless technology.
Ecobee and Nest are third-party systems that might work with an app, but they’re not designed for mini-splits. Wi-Fi thermostats can interfere with the superior humidity control and state-of-the-art inverter technology that makes mini-split HVAC systems so energy-efficient. The helpful team at Air Techs Heating & Cooling can help you find a thermostat that works with ductless technology and preserves the superior integrity of that system.
