Upgrade your home’s cooling with a ductless mini-split installation in Creve Coeur, MO. Scott-Lee Heating Company offers a wide range of mini-split AC configurations. We install mini-split systems as the primary cooling systems for homes, big and small. That includes older houses without ducts. Mini-split systems are an excellent central AC add-on, such as for bedroom zoning. They’re also perfect for hard-to-cool living spaces, such as home additions, sunrooms, and garages.
Creve Coeur Mini-Split AC Solutions
Mini-split systems are split HVAC systems, meaning they have outdoor and indoor units. The outdoor unit houses a compressor, condenser coil, and fan. The indoor units, which are compact or “mini,” house a thermostat, filter, blower, evaporator coil, and drain line.
There are two main mini-split AC configurations: single-zone and multi-zone. A single-zone system has just one indoor unit, and you can’t scale it up. This approach can save you money if you only need one head, such as for cooling in a primary bedroom. Multi-zone setups support multiple indoor units and can be scaled up.
A typical multi-zone ductless mini-split installation has between two and four indoor air handlers. Most systems support up to eight air handlers out of the box. That’s enough coverage for most homes. If you have a large house, there are solutions to increase the limit. One approach is to install multiple outdoor units in a series.
There are various indoor installation options as well, and you can mix and match them from room to room. Slim wall-mounted units are the standard option and often the least expensive. Floor units are best for finished basements and other areas with limited wall space. There are also several ways to mount the units to your ceilings. Those include suspended, flush cassettes, and dropdown cassettes. Dropdown units have vents on all four sides, making them ideal for kitchens and living rooms with expansive, open layouts.
Most mini-split systems come with onboard thermostat controls for each indoor unit. It’s typical to get a remote control for each one. Many brands offer Wi-Fi capabilities and an app. That lets you control your systems from your phone, whether on the couch or away from home. We can install one or more wall-mounted smart thermostats for expanded control. There are also many advanced features for mini-split systems to choose from. Some notable examples include dry mode for high-humidity days, self-cleaning mode, and automatic airflow direction adjustment.
