What
are mini split air conditioners?
Like the central air conditioner units, ductless mini split air
conditioners have two main components: an outdoor compressor/condenser,
and an indoor air-handling unit. A conduit, which houses the power
cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing, and a condensate drain,
links the outdoor and indoor units through a small hole (3 inches
usually) that is drilled in the wall of the building. The main advantages
of mini split air conditioners are their small size and flexibility
for zoning or heating and cooling individual rooms. The number depends
on how much heating or cooling is required for the building or each
zone (which is also affected by how well the building is insulated).
Since each of the split air conditioner zones/rooms will have it's
own thermostat, you only need to condition that area when someone
is present, which saves energy and money. If you are in a office
building at a higher floor, you can also install Outside Compressor
using our Wall Bracket.

Which
is the best air conditioner? Which brand is better?
With
so many different brands out there it does get confusing for the consumers
when choosing Air Conditioners For Home. We receive calls from confused consumers
every single day not knowing which brand to buy. Simple way to figure
that out is by checking your requirement first, then the features
you would like in your AC and based on all this you can finally narrow
it down to three brands. Then see which one has best package deal,
who has the better warranty and ofcourse if two brands provide similar
packages and same warranty then it comes to who has the better price.
PLEASE DO NOT go for AC unit that is $50 cheap but has less features
or poor SEER rating. It is never worth it. We have had customers who
ended up buying SEER 13 product when SEER 15 was available with low
ambient operation for $50 more. They ended up spending $175 later
in winter to buy the back up electric heater, as the standard SEER
13 would not produce heat when the outside temperature went below
15 deg. In short if you buy a high SEER AC unit, with inverter technology,
low ambience operation etc, you pay more today, but it is your cheaper
option in the long run, as you save $60 approx. per month on electrical
bills, depending upon other variable factors as well. Plus they work
lot more better than your regular standard units with lot more advanced
features. If price is not a big concern, we rate Mitsubishi, LG and
YMGI units as THE BEST in the industry. If you need quality Air Conditioners For Home with great customer feedbacks and reviews but bit cheaper than
LG or Mitsubishi, we would recommend YMGI brand. Klimaire or Aircon
would be your next best cheaper options in terms of quality and pricing.
As per our customer feedbacks and reviews our TOP 6 brands are :
1.
Mitsubishi Air Conditioners For Home: From wall mounts to ceiling
cassette, from residential to commercial units, Mitsubishi has a wide
range of unit. Starting from SEER 13 to as high as SEER 26. Their
FE model are the best fo colder weather conditions that no other brand
offer. FE models will produce heat in temeratures as low as minus
13 deg outside weather conditions.
2.
LG Air Conditioners For Home: Again LG is a big name brand. Excellent
product. Comes with ART COOL and MIRROR PANELS that you cannot find
in any other brand. LG products are seen a lot in european countries.
LG has both standard and Inverter type units with high SEER ratings.
Their dual zones and tri zone are only one of the few in the industry
that qualifies for federal tax credits. They have quality single zones
that are standard, but they do have INVERTER units as well with high
SEER product.
3.
YMGI Air Conditioners For Home: YMGI products are very popular
mainly for quality products and good tech support in place and their
prices are cheaper than most. Their product quality is excellent with
good feedback from customers and their promotional prices are unbeatable.
Their single zones 9000 btu, 12000 btu and 18000 btu qualify for federal
tax credits (see details). Some of their dual and tri zones can run
on different modes unlike other brands. For example, if you buy a
dual zone from this brand, one indoor unit can run on a AC mode and
other can run on a heat mode at the same time. Whereas with other
brands both the indoor units are supposed to be either on AC or heat
mode.
4.
Klimaire Air Conditioners For Home: Their products are equipped
with a state of the art inverter compressor & heat pump. Most
current models are also ENERGY STAR certified just like YMGI, Mitsubishi
or LG products, therefore are eligible for tax credits. Each unit
also comes with a installation kit. Klimaire Air Conditioners For Home are perfect
balance of power and efficiency at an extreme low price!
4.
Friedrich Air Conditioners For Home: One of the top brands in
the Industry. Excellent product. Great tech support offered to our
existing customers, no complaints whatsoever with this brand. This
brand offers high SEER products with inverter technology like YMGI,
Mitsubishi or LG. But they are a bit over priced similar to Fujitsu
or Sanyo systems.
5.
Aircon Air Conditioners For Home : Aircon systems are very reliable
units are great prices. They have great customer support in place.
Their prices are low , they come with install kits and they have a
very good selection of SEER 13 - as high as SEER 20 single zone systems.
What
size Air Conditioners For Home would be good for my application? How to choose
the right AC?
Keep
a pen and paper next to you and write down answers to below questions
first. Then move to step 2.
A.
First question is how many air handlers (indoor units) would you need?
Answer to this comes from the number of rooms you want to cool or
heat. Remember since this is ductless, you will need ONE air handler
per room. But if your kitchen, dinning area and living room are all
connected and open to each other, in that case you will need just
ONE for this entire area. But if your dinning room has walls around
it with only a door size opening from the kitchen, in that case you
may want to put ONE in kitchen and ONE in dinning room.
B. Are the rooms well insulated? If not we will call it "Situation
B"
C. How many windows you have in each room? Are these energy efficient
windows? (single pane or double pane windows). If you have 2-3 windows
in one room and they are single pane windows that are not energy efficient,
we will call it a "Situation C"
D. Then you need to know the height of your ceiling. Is it a regular
ceiling or more than 10 ft high? If it has a high ceiling of 15 or
20 ft, we will call it is "Situation D"
E. Do you have any heat generating source in these rooms like sunlight,
equipments, computers/server or kitchen etc? If yes, we will call
it a "Situation E"
F.
Last but not the least you need to know the sq ft of each room.
Once
you have the above info, it gets simple then. Below table will help
you decide and give you a approx. estimation of what
Air Conditioners For Home you would need.
Please
consult your HVAC installer before making your decision. Below
info can help you decide, but it cannot be guaranteed accurate
under different circumstances.

Air Conditioners For Home
For
room more than 1000 sq ft, example it is a office space with
1500 sq ft, you will need more than one unit in that one big
room for better circulation. So you can buy a 2-3 sinagles zone
units or dual zone, trizone or a quadzone depending upon how
big the room is as per above calculations.
Now
once you have decided how many units you need, it is time to see what
features you want. Low Ambience Feature For example if you live in Upstate New York where the temperature
goes below 15 deg quiet a few times in a year and if you need this
AC unit to do the heating job as well in the winter time, in that
case DO NOT buy the standard SEER 13 without Low Ambient. You need
the unit that has Low Ambient operation as they can produce heat in
temperatures as low as minus 4 deg or zero deg depending upon which
unit you end up buying. YMGI/Mitsubishi/LG/Friedrich/Klaimire/Aircon
for example have Air Conditioners For Home that produce
heat in lower temperatures.
HIGH
SEER AND INVERTER FEATURE
Units with high SEER and inverter techonlogy save you a lot of money
on electricity bills. As much as 40% per month approx. So if you have
a high SEER Air Conditioners For Home with Inverter which is $300 - $400 more than
the standard unit with SEER 13, you still will be better off buying
the expensive one, as after 6-8 months savings are all yours plus
such units are lot more advanced with many other good features.
How do DC Inverter
Air Conditioners For Home work?
INVERTER
technology delivers precise cooling or heating power as per your choice.
It works faster and saves energy while ensuring uniform temperature.
In
Depth details:
The
inverter tag found on some air conditioners signifies the ability
of the unit to continuously regulate its thermal power flow.
Traditional reverse-cycle
air-conditioners use a heat pump that is either working at maximum
capability or switched off, as the compressor's speed cannot be varied.
In order to regulate temperature a thermistor is used to measure the
ambient air temperature and switch the compressor on when the ambient
air temperature is too far from the desired temperature.
Air Conditioners For Home bearing
the inverter tag use a variable-frequency drive to control the speed
of the motor and thus the compressor. The variable-frequency drive
uses a rectifier to convert the incoming AC current to DC and then
uses pulse-width modulation of the DC current within an inverter to
produce AC current of a desired frequency. The AC current is used
to drive a brushless motor or an induction motor. As the speed of
a brushless motor is synchronised to the frequency of the AC current,
it is thus possible to build a compressor that can be run at different
speeds. Similarly, the voltage and frequency can be varied as needed
to efficiently run an induction motor at different speeds. A microcontroller
can then sample the current ambient air temperature and adjust the
speed of the compressor appropriately.
Eliminating stop-start
cycles increases efficiency, extends the life of components, and helps
eliminate sharp fluctuations in the load the air-conditioner places
on the power supply.
The inverter principle
has been applied to a wide range of household appliances including
microwave ovens, washing machines, and so on.
If
you want Air Conditioners For Home with install kit in your package deal Usually brands like YMGI, Shinco, AirCon, Klimaire will have
a package deal with installation kit included. But other brands will
not come with install kit at all. In such cases we offer Copper Tubings,
Service valve adpater, Condensor pads etc as optional products to
buy with your Air Conditioners For Home. Your installer probably will already have
them in his truck. If not you can buy them separately from us when
buying brands like Mitsubishi, LG, Sanyo, Friedrich etc.
Which
is the best package deal on Air Conditioners For Home ? We have many good deals on our
website. But to keep it simple we strongly recommend YMGI products
as the best package deal out there in the Industry as of today. Here
is the justification:
1.
YMGI products have HIGH SEER products.
2. Inverter technology
3. Low Ambient Operation.
4. They come with complete install kits.
5. They come with 5 year on compressor and 1 year on parts.
6. Usually these are $350 more than what they are priced now. So yes,
they are at discounted rates currently. If you compare it to any other
brand with similar features and quality, this product is unbeatable.
7. They have thier own dehumidification mode. Other brands will have
dehumidification only when your AC mode is on. But this one has a
dehumidification mode of its own. Other features are Auto Restart,
Sleep mode, Auto Swing Mode etc.
Above
all Mitsubishi and LG are other two brands to take a look at, but
they are a bit more expensive and they do not come with install kits.
Can I install
Air Conditioners For Home?
YES
and NO. Depends if you are good technically. You may or may not be
able to do it. Some people do the handyman work on the indoor and
outdoor unit and pay a small amount to an electrician to hard wire
the outdoor unit and pay HVAC professional to vaccuum the lines before
releasing the refrigerant. Some people choose to do it all by themselves
with their past experience. Manufacturer recommends to have it installed
by an HVAC professional. Any of your local professional air conditioning
company should be able to install it easily for couple of hundred
dollars. It is worth spending this money initially, this way you can
have it installed professionally and enjoy the benefits of energy
efficient mini split AC for year's to come. You may loose your warranty
in some cases if you install this unit yourself. Some brands specifically
require you to have an invoice from your HVAC installer to provide
warranty help. So make sure to read warranty details before making
your purchase. As a company we DO NOT and CANNOT recommend you to
install Air Conditioners For Home.
But
How easy are the units to install? For
Complete Installation Guide, you can click here To
ensure an easy installation and fault free operation, we recommend
the unit be installed by a professional HVAC installer.
How
do Air Conditioners For Home work?
Mini splits use a high quality compressor and environmentally friendly
green refrigerant to cool your home, and an innovative heat pump technology
to keep your interiors warm in cold weather. The near silent operation
is made possible by installing the compressor outside your home or
offi ce. The air handler (indoor AC unit) in your dwelling is designed
for ideal climate control, allowing
you to cool or heat or dehumidify your interiors.
You can conveniently adjust the fan speed, air flow direction, and
oscillating louvers via remote control, or simply set the 24 hour
timer for care free operation.
How
much do Air Conditioners For Home cost to run? These energy efficient units
provide localized cooling and heating for certain parts of your home
or office, rather than cooling or heating other areas that are not
occupied. This localized climate control enables you to reduce your
energy bills. SEER ratings we have is the best standard in industry
and mini split AC's are most energy efficient AC's you can ever find.
Do Air Conditioners For Home have air purification capabilities?
Air filters?
Yes. Most of them have Cold catalyst air filter. BUT LG IS THE BEST
IN AIR PURIFICATION WITH IT'S PLASMA AIR PURIFICATION CAPABILITIES.
SEE VIDEO BELOW
How
noisy are the Air Conditioners For Home? WHISPER QUIET OPERATION
is one of the many reasons why they are very
popular. The indoor units are typically no noisier than a standard
domestic fan, but as they do make some noise, consideration should
be given to their location.
Why choose Air Conditioners For Home? What are
the advantages?
=> Whisper quiet operation. => Energy efficient, save money on
electric bills! => Lot cheaper than central air conditioner. => Easy installation procedure. => Long term solution, good for new
additions or when replacing existing air conditioner.
They are cost effective choice compared to central air conditioning.
However, it is typically more expensive than a wall or window air conditioner
and you need a professional to install it. Since the compressor sits
outside the split air conditioner is very quiet and efficient. Since
mini splits have no ducts, they avoid the energy losses associated with
the ductwork of central forced air systems. Duct losses can account
for more than 30% of energy consumption for space conditioning, especially
if the ducts are in an unconditioned space such as an attic.
Air Conditioners For Home are also sometimes easier to install than other types of
air conditioning systems. For example, the hook-up between the outdoor
and indoor units generally requires only a three inch hole through a
wall for the conduit. Also, most manufacturers of this type of system
can provide a variety of lengths of connecting conduits. So, if necessary,
you can locate the outdoor unit as far away as 50 feet from the indoor
evaporator depending upon which mini split AC you buy. This makes it
possible to cool rooms on the front side of a building or house with
the compressor in a more advantageous or inconspicuous place on the
outside of the building.In comparison to other add-on systems, split
air conditioners offer more flexibility in interior design options.
The indoor air handlers can be suspended from a ceiling, mounted flush
into a drop ceiling, or hung on a wall. Floor-standing models are also
available with LG. Most indoor units have profiles of about seven inches
deep and usually come with sleek, high tech-looking jackets.
What
is HSPF?
HSPF is the abbreviation for the Heating Seasonal Performance Factor.
This factor rates the efficient operation of the heating portion
of the heat pump. As the HSPF increases, the unit functions at a
more efficient level. New units in the United States have HSPF ratings
from 7.0 to 9.4.
Heating Seasonal Performance Factor-the total heating output in
B.T.U's during it's normal usage period for heating divided by the
total electrical energy input in watt hours during the same period
What is a Heat Pump and How Does It Work?
A Heat Pump is an electrical device that takes heat from one place
and transfers it to another. A heat pump transfers heat by circulating
environmentally friendly refrigerant through a cycle of evaporation
and condensation. A compressor then pumps the refrigerant between
two heat exchange coils. In one coil the refrigerant is evaporated
at low pressure and absorbs the heat from the surroundings. The
refrigerant is then compressed on the way to the other coil where
it condenses at high pressure. Now the heat pump releases the heat
it absorbed earlier in the cycle. This process is reversible for
the summer months and the heat pump acts as a cooling system.
Why
Purchase Air Conditioners For Home with Heat Pump?
A heat pump is the most energy efficient way to heat and cool your
home.
Heat pumps utilize the renewable heat sources in our surroundings
in order to produce heat. The air, ground and water provide useful
heat that is warmed up by the heat pump and delivered into the home.
Sources such as the air, ground and water provide more heat than
realized and the heat pump makes use of these sources that are continuously
heated by the sun. With British Columbia's mild weather conditions,
having a heat pump is the most logical, environmentally friendly
and efficient source of in-home heating and cooling.
Can I get Air Conditioners For Home ASAP?
Yes, in most cases, we ship them within 24 hours
from one of our several locations across United States. Most of
our customers receive the units within 2-5 business days.
How Do You Measure A Heat Pump's Efficiency?
Heat pumps provide both cooling and heating, so the efficiency is
measured in two different ways. When the heat pump cools, a SEER
rating or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio measures the efficiency.
The SEER rating is similar to gas mileage on a car. The higher the
SEER rating the more efficient it is. Most of today's heat pumps
have a SEER rating between 13.0 and 19.0 SEER. When the heat pump
heats the home, a Heating Seasonal Performance Factor or HSPF rates
the efficiency. The HSPF rating works the same way as the SEER rating
does. The higher the HSPF, the more efficient the system is. Most
new units today have a HSPF rating between 7.7 to 9.0 HSPF.
How does an air conditioner work?
An air conditioner seems as if it cools your home's air, but it actually
makes your home less warm by removing heat from the indoor air and
transferring that heat to the outdoor air. Heat is extracted
from the home by passing indoor air across a refrigerant coil in the
indoor unit. Refrigerant lines then carry the heat to the outdoor
unit, where it is released into the outside air. The cooling cycle
continues until the indoor temperature reaches the thermostat setting.
What does SEER mean?
Season Energy Efficiency Ratio. It is a system for rating the efficiency
of air conditioning equipment. SEER is calculated by dividing the
cooling capacity in BTU/H, of a continuously operating air conditioner,
by the electric power input, or watts, of power consumed. The higher
the SEER, the less the unit should cost to operate.
What is a heat pump and how
does it work?
A heat pump combines cooling and heating in one unit. When cooling,
the heat pumps operates like an air conditioner, removing the heat
from indoors and transferring it outdoors. In the winter the heat
pump takes heat from the outdoor air and transfers it inside your
home. Even at freezing temperatures, there is heat in the outdoor
air that can be used to warm a home with a heat pump. To raise the
heat pump’s output on very cold days, electric resistance
heaters are installed in the indoor section of the unit.
What
is R-410A?
R-410A is a hydro fluorocarbon (HFC), which is an environmentally
friendly refrigerant that is considered by most to be the likely
replacement for R-22.
What
is Freon/R-22?
Hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), known as R-22 has been used as a refrigerant
for more than 40 years by HVAC manufacturers. While HCFC's are
considered safe for the environment they do contain chlorine which
is classed as an ozone-depleting chemical. The Clean Air Act set a
target date of January 1, 2010 after which HVAC manufacturers can
no longer build products that use R-22. Manufacturers of refrigerants
will still be allowed to produce R-22 until January 1, 2020 after
which time only recovery and recycling will provide R-22 for servicing
older installed systems.
Is
The Refrigerant Used In Air Conditioners For Home Safe For The Environment?
All of our
units use envronmentally friendly R-410A refrigerant. This refrigerant
does not deplete the ozone layer and is seen as the logical replacement
for Freon R-22. Carrier beat the competition by six years and
introduced Puron refrigerant or R-410A. Use of R-410A adds to
the efficiency and realiability of a heat pump.
Are
there any good reasons for replacing my existing system if it is
still functioning?
You should consider replacing your system if it is old with Air Conditioners For Home, most likely your older units is less efficient or depending
upon the age and type of unit you have, very soon it might need
major repairs in the near future. New systems can be 60% more efficient
than systems built only 10 years ago. Normal wear and tear can reduce
the efficiency of your system. Another costly season of utility
bills or paying for an expensive failed part can go a long way toward
the cost of a new system.
How
do I know what Air Conditioners For Home to buy?
Make sure the unit that you select is the correct size for your
needs. Systems that are too large or too small can be inefficient.
We would be pleased to provide an energy analysis to show you the
true operating cost. If someone in the family has allergies, an
air filtration system should be part of the installation.
What
does it mean to zone my house and why should I zone my house?
A zoning system is designed for the many ways you use your home.
Maybe you're caught up in family "thermostat wars"? Or perhaps you
have unoccupied areas that do not need conditioning? Air Conditioners For Home
zoning system allows you to divide your home into separate areas,
giving you the comfort and control you've always wanted. The
main benefits of residential zoning are: Comfort Zoning
meets the specific temperature and airflow requirements of one area,
without affecting other areas. Efficiency A properly designed
zoning system can save you hundreds of dollars in energy costs each
year. Control Zoning divides the home into different areas
and comfort into different levels, giving you more choices and control
than ever before. Quiet Performance When integrated with
variable speed and/or two-stage HVAC systems, zoning allows your
heating and cooling equipment to deliver peak performance and efficiency
without continually operating at peak capacity. Lower speeds mean
lower sound levels.
What
else might be needed if I replace my old system?
With Air Conditioners For Home, there is nothing much needed. No need for duct
work. No need for expensive wood work or renovation needed.
How
long should my unit last?
With proper maintenance, industry averages suggest that an air conditioner
should last 12-15 years (high humidity/salt air applications may be
less than that) and a gas furnace should last as long as 20 or 25
years. Air Conditioners For Home can easily last 20-25 years as well, as long as
it is well maintained.
How often should I change
or clean my filters?
Dirty filters should be washed regularly or replaced every few years
to prevent equipment from working harder, resulting in energy waste
and possibly causing damage to your unit. Filters should generally
be replaced every month when the system is running. Filters should
be replaced with the same kind and size as your original filter.
If the filter is not disposable, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for cleaning it.
Should
I cover my outdoor unit in the winter?
Covering the unit is not necessary. Air conditioners are built to
withstand a wide range of climate changes. Rain even helps keep
your unit clean. Since heat pumps run all year long, they should
not be covered.
Should
I set my thermostat fan to the "ON" position so the fan runs all
the time? (not available with all brands and models)?
There are advantages. One is full-time filtering of the air in your
home. Another is that you can maintain a more even temperature throughout
your home.
What
causes indoor air pollution?
Many everyday household items contribute to poor indoor air quality.
Compounds found in carpeting, furniture, upholstery and drapery
fabric consistently emit gas or fumes. Other sources of pollutants
can include, but are not limited to, cleaning agents, paints and
personal care products. Also, newer homes that are tightly
sealed for energy efficiency tend to limit air circulation, which
can contribute to a buildup of contaminants. Likewise, things like
weather stripping and storm doors keep stale air in and fresh air
out.
How
can I improve my indoor air quality?
There are five basic strategies for outsmarting indoor air pollution: Identify
the problem:
The first step toward better indoor air is to identify the types
of pollutants present in the home. The best way to do this is to
schedule an in-home air-quality test. Reduce concentrations
of particles and bioaerosols
Routine cleaning and housekeeping helps reduce indoor air pollutants,
but these simple fixes are not cure-alls. Some contaminants are
so small that they may escape through the vacuum or never land on
a surface. Lennox HEPA filtration systems, electronic air cleaners,
high-efficiency air filters capture even the smallest of particles
and bioaerosols. Reduce or eliminate chemical vapors and odors
Chemical vapors and odors can come from many different sources inside
and outside the home. Once inside the home, these potentially toxic
pollutants circulate through the ductwork, entering every room and
living space. A Lennox air purification system removes and destroys
50% of household chemical vapors and odors within 24 hours. Ventilate
Your Home
Today's modern homes are well-insulated and sealed to conserve energy,
which means airborne pollutants have no way to escape. Air Conditioners For Home
help remove particles and bioaerosols by exchanging stale, recirculated
indoor air with fresh, filtered outside air.
Control
Temperature and Humidity
Improper humidity levels and high temperatures can actually increase
concentrations of particles and bioaerosols. Lennox SignatureStat™
and thermostats regulate moisture levels and temperatures to improve
indoor air quality and enhance comfort.
