Comfort Features
Ductless mini split Heat Pumps & ACs can be configured with either one or multiple indoor units (multi zone system) powered by a single inverter controlled, variable-speed outdoor unit to bring comfort anywhere in your home, including room additions, sunrooms, and garages. The inverter outdoor compressor ensures maximum comfort in any season by continuously adjusting heating and cooling capacities to meet your specific needs.
Minimal Installation
Because there are no ducts, installation is a breeze—no tearing open walls, patching, or repainting required! Ductless mini split ACs and heating can be either wall mounted or ceiling mounted, creating a clean look while preserving the easy installation factor of traditional window units. And the outdoor unit powers the indoor units, so there is no need for additional wiring.
Preserve Your Home’s Integrity
Older homes weren’t built to accommodate the ductwork of standard modern air conditioning systems. With a ductless mini split air conditioner, you can preserve the integrity of your home’s architecture without having to carve out spaces for ducts and vents.
Energy Savings
By selecting specific rooms to heat or cool, energy use is concentrated in the areas you choose - meaning that you can control the temperature and your energy bill!. Plus, ductless mini split systems can offset the energy loss of older homes by continuously adjusting the heating and cooling capacity to best match current conditions, making them a convenient and energy-efficient choice.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT MINI SPLIT AC UNIT FOR YOUR HOME
Choosing the right size ductless mini-split unit is crucial for effective climate control and energy efficiency. The unit should be appropriately sized to ensure it can effectively cool or heat the space without overworking or underperforming. How do you determine the proper mini split sizing for your room? To help, you can use a BTU calculator or room compatibility tool to determine the ideal capacity. As a general guideline, the following table shows the recommended mini split unit size (in BTUs) based on room square footage. Work with your local Carrier dealer to ensure you purchase a properly sized ductless mini split unit for your home.
| Square Footage | Recommended BTUs |
| 100 - 150 sq ft | 5,000 - 6,000 BTU |
| 150 - 250 sq ft | 6,000 - 9,000 BTU |
| 250 - 350 sq ft | 9,000 - 12,000 BTU |
| 350 - 450 sq ft | 12,000 - 15,000 BTU |
| 450 - 600 sq ft | 15,000 - 18,000 BTU |
This sizing ensures your mini splits heat or cool your space efficiently without wasting energy.
