Disadvantages Of Mini Split Systems
Ductless AC Systems have a lot of to love, but nothing comes without its faults. One thing to think about is that it has been reported that these units can be less energy efficient than forced-air systems like central air conditioning.
Also, not all homes are condusive 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 house. They can assess your home’s configuration, the available space, and determine if a ductless system can be installed correctly and efficiently.
Also, you should 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.
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
