As an HVAC dealer or contractor, if you're interested in offering customers flexible and energy-efficient solutions, mini-split systems need to be near the top of your product portfolio. Whether it's for new home construction or a light commercial retro-fit application, Mini split air conditioners and heat pumps are on the rise across Canada for a reason.

Here at Airtek, we offer a full line of ductless mini-split systems to HVAC retailers across the country. In this blog, we describe how mini-split systems work and why they are an ideal solution for homes as well as light commercial building.

What is a Mini-Split System?

A mini-split is a type of ductless HVAC system that typically includes two main units: an outdoor condenser unit and one or more indoor air-handling units. Mini-split systems deliver heat and cool air to individual rooms or zones directly and, as such, can be employed in a variety of applications.

Compared to traditional systems requiring considerable amounts of ductwork, mini-splits are linked through refrigerant lines. This is less intrusive and easier to install, especially in older constructions or business real estate where duct installation is not feasible.

Major Advantages of Mini-Split Systems

1. Energy Efficiency

Mini-split systems use inverter technology, which allows for precise temperature control and reduces energy consumption. By eliminating duct losses, up to 30% of the energy consumed by forced-air systems, the ductless system keeps your customers' bills down.

2. Zoned Comfort

Each indoor unit is independently operable. For your customers, this means they can heat or cool only areas where they are, maximizing comfort while cutting down on energy wastage. This is perfect for houses with different levels or light commercial spaces with demarcated areas.

3. Easy Installation

With no ductwork to be installed, installation labor and time are reduced to a minimum. Mini-splits are thus an intelligent choice for retrofit usage, historic buildings, or commercial buildings needing zone-controlled climate.

4. Compact & Flexible Design

Mini-split indoor units are slim, modern, and are available wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, or recessed into ceilings. This allows the possibility to quietly place them in any space, making them ideal for retail environments, offices, apartments, or additions to homes.

5. Quiet Operation

Because of the new compressor technology and sound-reducing design elements, mini-split systems are quieter than traditional HVAC systems. They are best used in bedrooms, conference rooms, or customer spaces.
