Why Is Mini-Split System BTU Important? And What Do I Need?
Just like a traditional HVAC system, BTU’s determine the size of the property that a system can cool. Whether you are installing a conventional or mini-split system, you need to make sure that you are installing a heating and cooling system that can provide the temperature control the size of your space.
The only way to know exactly how many BTUs your unit needs to be is to consult with an HVAC contractor in your area, as it may depend on other factors like the placement of the unit, climate, insulation, etc. For a rough estimate, you can calculate 17 to 24 BTUs per square foot of the desired living space.
But here are general guidelines to give you an idea on the number of BTUs your ductless mini-split heating and cooling system may need to cover your property.
Area To Be Cooled (SF) Unit Size Capacity (BTUs Per Hour)
700 – 1,000 1.5 Tons 18,000
1,000 – 1,200 1.5 or 2 Tons 21,000
1,200 – 1,400 2 Tons 23,000
1,400 – 1,500 2 – 2.5 Tons 24,000
1,500 – 2,000 2.5 Tons 30,000
2,000 – 2,500 3 Tons 34,000
3,000 – 4,000 4 Tons 48,000

Ductless Mini-Split System Sales Growth Is Declining
Some larger VRF-style commercial systems continue to grow at faster rates, but their numbers in the U.S. remain small at only 28,000 units per year.
A bright small bright spot for the segment can be seen with accelerated growth in denser urban areas.
While the mini split segment has put up impressive growth rates in the U.S. since 2005, the growth rates have been slowing recently and the biggest ductless segment (small, single evaporator systems) have not grown at all since 2010. These sales remain stable at about 260,000 units per year, or only about 4% of total unitary AC shipments.
Disadvantages Of Mini Split Systems
Ductless AC Systems have a lot of to love, but nothing comes without its faults. Something to consider 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 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 you. They can assess your home’s configuration, the available space, and determine if a ductless system can be installed easily and efficiently.
Also, you should understand if you are fine with the space and esthetic requirements of a mini-split system as well as the increased maintenance before making any decision.
Where Can You Install Ductless AC Systems?
The spot of your mini split AC system should definitely be decided upon before purchase. Fortunately , you can install your mini split AC system in various areas.
Ductless Mini Splits can be attached to your ceiling or wall. Higher on the wall is often common, but as of most recently, more homeowners are disguising them in the ceiling. If you choose to install your mini split AC unit in the ceiling, you can have it suspended, recessed or concealed. As you might imagine, recessed or concealed units are very popular for smaller units. The less noise in the room, the bigger it will feel.
