Where to Install a Ductless Mini-Split Air Conditioner
For many homeowners across the United States, a ductless mini-split air conditioner is the perfect solution for keeping your home and family cool and comfortable throughout the year. It offers the reliability of a centralized system while still maintaining the flexibility of a window unit. But before purchasing a ductless mini-split air conditioner, the first thing you should consider is where to install it for optimal performance. In today’s post, the plumbing repair and HVAC installation pros at R.A. Biel Plumbing and Heating share a few tips to help you find the perfect spot.
The Ideal Location
Any indoor air conditioning unit should be positioned in a location that enables the air to be evenly distributed throughout the room. Ideally, it should be installed at least eight feet from the floor to avoid sending cool air to the ceiling.
If you’re getting a new mini-split air conditioning unit for your bedroom, it should be installed directly over the head of your bed. You should also consider placing it in a spot that allows for easy access so you can easily clean or replace your air filter.
Placement for Outdoor Components
The outdoor components of your mini-split system should have enough space around them to provide the unit will ample airflow. Also, be sure that there’s a clear path for an exiting air vent. Access is also an important consideration so that HVAC technicians can effortlessly perform routine maintenance. To get the best possible results, call in an expert so they can conduct a proper inspection before the installation.
