If you need a new HVAC system, our experts at TCS Heating and Air Conditioning recommend considering mini-split cooling and mini-split heating in Lansdale, PA. Mini-split AC systems do more than just cool a house.
Since they utilize a heat pump that has a reversing valve, it lets them deliver heating as well. In both cases, these are among the most energy-efficient HVAC options available. Many of the systems we sell have ENERGY STAR certification. That can make you eligible for federal tax credits and rebates.
Lansdale Mini-Split Heating and Cooling
For mini-split AC systems and mini-split heating, you have the choice of either a multi- or single-zone configuration. Both approaches have an outdoor condenser unit.
With a single-zone system, which is cheaper, the outdoor unit connects to just one indoor air handler. Multi-zone systems provide two or more indoor air handlers or zones.
HVAC Zoning is very useful. You can, for instance, have mini-splits in the bedrooms. The temperatures can be quite cool in those rooms but much higher throughout the rest of the home overnight. It can also be a great option for sunrooms, detached and attached garages, garage apartments, and work sheds.
You’ll often see these marketed as dual–, tri-, and quad-zone systems. That means that they come with two, three, and four heads, and more respectively. You can also add additional heads-up to the condenser unit limit. You can add those at the time of the initial installation or later down the line.
Homeowners have options when it comes to mounting indoor units, and you can choose among them on a room-to-room basis. Wall mounting is by far the most common scenario.
Customers who want a discreet installation can opt for ceiling mounting. The cassette-style often available nowadays makes ceiling installations much easier and affordable. Floor units are available as well.
Your mini-split can be a standalone HVAC solution. We can also pair it with a forced-air furnace. It’s common in this region to have a gas or oil furnace for auxiliary heating. It kicks in when the temperature outdoors drops to very cold and the heat pump would no longer be sufficient on its own.
