Do you need to heat and cool numerous rooms but don’t want to purchase multiple units? Multi-zone systems offer a heating and cooling solution that requires only one condenser component. Mini split systems consist of two major parts: an indoor component (the AC) and an outdoor unit (the condenser). You can get a single multi-zone mini split instead of purchasing multiple sets of mini splits. It operates with one condenser paired with a range of AC units while maintaining its efficiency and quality. Before deciding on the number of mini split zones you need in your home, you need to consider various factors, from the practical capabilities of your mini-split to your home’s qualities.
Max Number of Zones
Like many air conditioner accessories, there are limitations to the AC units’ abilities and enhancements. To still provide optimized and efficient heating and cooling results, you must keep the maximum number of units at eight. You may need to add more multi-zone systems or mini splits for homes with more than eight rooms.
Room Numbers
One of the main attributes of your home to consider when picking out the best multi-zone system for you is the number of rooms you wish to heat and cool. As mentioned above, multi-zone systems only connect to up to eight different ACs. If your home only needs heating and cooling in five rooms, then one multi-split zone system will suffice. However, like open floor plan concepts, some rooms stretch across large spaces and require more than one AC to heat and cool them sufficiently. Rooms with double the ACs affect the number of indoor units attached to the condenser but don’t technically create new zones.
MULTI-ZONE SYSTEMS AND DIFFERENT INDOOR-AIR-HANDLING UNITS
Multi-zone systems are ideal for home and business owners looking to create different climate zones in multiple rooms, floors, or areas. Each indoor unit can be controlled independently of the others, meaning that you can adjust the temperature, airflow, and other settings of one air conditioner without impacting the others. Additionally, you can use this to save on energy expenses as you do not need to heat or cool the whole building, you can choose to focus on areas that are being used at any given time.
There are several types of indoor air conditioner units available. Wall mount units are the most common, but there are also floor and ceiling mount units with similar looks. Ceiling cassettes resemble cassette types, as their name implies, and they disperse air throughout the room from the ceiling. Some ceiling cassette mini splits are recessed, meaning they sit virtually flat in the ceiling. Slim duct units are similar in look to traditional wall-mount units, but they are much smaller and lighter. Concealed mount units are another mini-split type that sit in the ceilings of rooms or closets.
MIX AND MATCH
Each air-handling unit is designed with different aesthetic and functional needs in mind. When you build your own mini-split system with us, you can mix and match different air conditioner styles. This allows you to design the perfect system tailored to your specific needs.
For example, if you are tight on wall space, you could opt for floor or ceiling mounts. You could also choose a ceiling cassette or concealed mount if you do not want the air conditioner to clash with the room’s interior design. You could have a ceiling cassette in a kitchen, a slim duct in the living room, and a wall-mount in a bedroom on the same system … the options are endless!
