Installing a Air Conditioner
Thinking about installing a mini split air conditioner? There are different ways to go about installing a mini split. The number one thing to consider is safety!!! Whether you install the system yourself or have a professional do it you need to be very careful as high pressure chemicals and electrical work is involved. If you plan on installing a system yourself you need to be aware of your local laws. You may need permits for running power to the system. Also when working with freon you must be a licensed HVAC technician. Most manufactures won't honor the warranty if a licensed HVAC tech does not sign off on the install. One way to save money is to do all the time consuming work yourself, then pay a technician to come out and check over your work and handle the initial start up of the system by vacuuming down the line sets, checking for leaks, and adjusting the charge depending on the length of lines used.
If you would rather have the entire system installed for you then you must first find someone who is HVAC licensed. Search around online and in the papers and see about getting a quote done for the install. Ask your installer how many mini splits they have put in before. The general idea of installing a mini split is very similar to central split ac, but there are some things that are unique to mini splits and finding someone experienced means the install time will be shorter and if your paying by the hour this will save you money as they already have the tools and know how to get the installation done.

Looking for instructions on wiring a mini split air conditioner?
When wiring a mini split its important you follow the manufactures instructions as well as your local laws. In most cases you will be running power out to your compressor and installing a safety disconnect box to shut off power to the A/C system for maintenance. It is important to follow local code when performing this. For the indoor unit, most of the time, it will get its power from the outdoor compressor. So by following the manufactures instructions you will likely run the power and signal wires together with the copper tubing from the indoor unit to the outdoor unit and then follow the wiring diagram to hook it up.
Adding a mini split air conditioner to you home.
Often times we get get customers who already have AC in there home but its just not doing the job right. The problem with central ac is all the rooms may be different sizes and have a different number of windows. Also some get more sun than others and to top it off this changes through out the day. It makes no sense to have one thermostat in the middle of the house because one room might be freezing cold while another is hot. To fix this people add, or sometimes completely replace, their central ac units with mini splits. Now you're not wasting energy cooling rooms that don't need it and the ones that do are no longer miserable to be in. On top of that, central ac uses ducts to transport the cold air to each room. These ducts waste energy and cost a fortune to maintain and keep clean. If they get dirty your families health will also be at risk. Each room with a mini split will get its own filter and because of this your family and friends will breath fresher healthier air. All of the systems we sell come with a washable filter. This means you will be saving money on buying filters every month which can get expensive. Additional filter inserts are also available if you are still concerned with air quality.Most major brands like: Mitsubishi, Lennox, Trane, York, Sanyo and Fujistu do not offer factory warranties on their products if sold online.

Popular Questions from our customers:
Question: Why is a Mini Ductless Split Air Conditioner system more efficient than a central system?
Answer: The easiest answer is the fact that you loose 30% of your energy cost in your ducts. Having no ducts saves you at least 30% and we haven't begun to consider electrical consumption yet. If we factor in energy consumption you can save 50-60%. Ill explain why, When you compare a 2 ton Central System to a 2 ton (24000 btu) Split system. First off, your central system requires 2-220v amp disconnects at 30 amps each. A Mini Air Conditioning Unit only needs one 220v 30 amp disconnect. Secondly a central system will draw 20 amps inside and 20-30 amps outside while running meanwhile each component is drawing about 2000 watts each (4000+ watts total). Where as a Ductless Split Unit system will only use 10-11 total amps while running and only use 2000-2500 watts.A considerable difference. Our customers have reported to us a 50% year round savings off their normal energy cost after they switched to strictly non-ducted system.
Question: What size Ductless Split Unit system is right for me?

Question: What is a Mini Air Conditioning Unit?
Answer: Mini Air Conditioning Units separates the compressor from the air handler, making a more efficient and much more quiet of a system. Just like a central, the compressor will sit outside and the air handler will be mounted inside. They will connect together with copper lines and send freon through those lines to one another. "Mini" means its much more smaller than a normal central system. For instance the air-handler is a small wall mounted system that looks very Hi Tech when mounted to your wall (see the product pictures for example).
Question: How much should I expect to pay a contractor to install one of these systems?
Answer: This will vary on the contractor your choose, for example : if you choose a contractor who has 12 trucks, and crews, with allot of overhead his prices will be much higher and most of the time they will not want to install a system that you buy from someone else as they will want to make as much money as they can by selling you the product. In our experience you can find local contractor who would love to have your business by searching on sites like craigslist, the contractors we speak to often charge 50-65 per hour. If you have a simple install it could take them 2-4 hours for a small single zoned system. Or they may want to charge a flat rate like $500, but again you can choose who ever you feel the most comfortable with in pricing and service. If you can try to get them to provide a free labor warranty for at least the same amount of time your parts warranty is. Our customers have reported high costs at Home Depot and Lowes since they have now come into the market.
Question: How long does it take when I order one?
Answer: Normally 1-3 days to process your order. Once on a truck it will take 1-5 days on freight for it to reach you.

If you live in a development where multiple houses have the same floor plan, your neighbors may be the most accurate guide to good prices. Make sure bids include all costs, including any government fees (such as permits) and disposal of the old unit. Manufacturers themselves don't reveal estimated installed costs. Experts agree that prices vary by region, and possibly even within a region.

Most central s have ten-year limited warranties on the compressor and five-year limited warranties on all other parts.

Some offer lifetime warranties as a marketing tool.
How is Ductless AC and Heat different than central air?
The amount of cold entering the room can he controlled by a thermostat or it can be regulated by an infra-red remote control, like a TV remote. One room or one area of a building can maintain a different temperature from another room or area in the same building. In a central system, refrigerant is pumped from the outdoor condenser coil indoors to a single indoor coil from which cooled is distributed to each room through a system of ducts. In many houses and businesses, the amount of cold in one room cannot be regulated without changing the temperature of every room in the building. This technology can be used for heating or cool and is especially well-suited to homes and businesses built without central systems. It is used increasingly in improvement projects where a porch is enclosed or an attic is converted to bedrooms. Every building and every situation presents its own problems with climate control.
Architects and engineers have realized this for years and they have struggled to adapt technology to modern living and working demands. Mini Air Conditioning Systems now make the job much easier.
