What is a SEER rating and How Does it Affect Cost?
The SEER, or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, has a lot to do with cost. The higher the SEER rating the more efficient the unit.
If you are someone that wants to keep their operating costs to a minimum or want to conserve energy then a higher SEER rating is the way to go. The higher ratings translate into lower energy costs but also higher unit prices. These ratings vary from the federally regulated minimum of 13 up to 26+. Trane heat pump mini-splits have ratings as high as 38. So, while picking a unit with higher SEER rating will increase the cost of the installation it will lower the cost of operation over the life of the mini-split AC system

Mini Split AC System Types
If you are looking to install a mini-split AC system, you will need to decide what type of system is best for your home. In general, there are two common types of mini splits:
- Single Zone
- Multiple Zone
Single zone units will save you money, but are most often only used to cool a single area of the home. These are ideal for smaller spaces such as studio apartments.
However, multiple zone units are designed to cool multiple areas within a home. These also tend to be more costly, as the capacity for these systems must be higher and more powerful.

Disadvantages Of Mini Split Systems

Also, not all homes are well suited for mini split AC Systems. You should consult a qualified HVAC contractor before deciding which type of heating and cooling system is right for your home. They can assess your home’s configuration, the available space, and determine if a ductless system can be installed properly and efficiently.
Also, you need to understand if you are comfortable with the space and esthetic requirements of a mini-split system as well as the increased maintenance before making any decision.
How Ductless Mini-Splits AC Systems Work
Like other ac systems, mini split AC systems move hot and cold air where you need it. In the summer, your mini split evaporator will remove the hot air inside your house, usher it to your condenser and release it outside. During cold weather, the system can reverse the process and bring cold air outside.
Furthermore, mini splits are also good for moving cooler or warmer air from one room to the other. For example, if your home’s basement is always too cold, while your bedrooms are too warm, a min split can move cooler air from the basement to the upper level.
