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 home 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 system may need to cover your living space.
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
5,000+ 5 Tons 60,000

Mini-Split AC Systems Sales Growth Is Slowing
Some larger VRF-style commercial systems are still growing at quicker rates, but their numbers in the U.S. remain a fraction of the market 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.
Though the mini split ac segment has posted impressive growth rates in the U.S. since 2005, the growth rates have been declining 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.
Perks Of A Ductless Heating & Cooling System
The first we already hinted at, homeowners who do not currently have ductwork in their homes, do not have to worry about upgrading your existing home with the required duct and ventilation work.
This will ultimately save you thousands of dollars. Also, since these ductless heating and air conditioning systems don’t require a lot of complex wiring and tubing, they tend to take less time to install, reducing the average cost to install a mini-split AC system.
Another awesome quality of a mini-split air conditioner is the fact that they can be customized to the home. For example, one condenser may have as many as four evaporators connected to it, all of which can serve different rooms around the home. These evaporators can be individually controlled, which is helps electric costs down. For example, if a homeowner wants to cool only one spot in the home, all you have to do is shut off the evaporators to the in unwanted areas of the home.
Finally, unlike a window AC unit, give you extra peace of mind as they don’t have to be installed in a window, which can cause a common entry point for intrudors.
