What are mini split air conditioners?
Like the central air conditioner units, ductless mini split air conditioners have two main components: an outdoor compressor/condenser, and an indoor air-handling unit. A conduit, which houses the power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing, and a condensate drain, links the outdoor and indoor units through a small hole (3 inches usually) that is drilled in the wall of the building. The main advantages of mini split air conditioners are their small size and flexibility for zoning or heating and cooling individual rooms. The number depends on how much heating or cooling is required for the building or each zone (which is also affected by how well the building is insulated). Since each of the split air conditioner zones/rooms will have it's own thermostat, you only need to condition that area when someone is present, which saves energy and money. If you are in a office building at a higher floor, you can also install Outside Compressor using our Wall Bracket.

Are these good residential split air conditioners?
Absolutely. These can be used anywhere. They are not only for residential applications, but can be used in offices, restaurants, warehouses, hotels, patios, boats etc. There is no limit to where they can be used. They are very flexible and can be installed anywhere and everywhere. They are widely used all across europe and now gaining popularity over the years in North America. They can be individually zoned. You can have multiple room solutions as well. They come in contemporary designs too. They cool, heat, dehumidify and also help purify the air. Plus you can have one condenser outside connected to multiple air handlers in individual rooms and each room can have its own temperature and settings.

Which Brand is the best?

With so many different brands out there it does get confusing for the consumers. We receive calls from confused consumers every single day not knowing which brand to buy. Simple way to figure that out is by checking your requirement first, then the features you would like in your AC and based on all this you can finally narrow it down to three brands. Then see which one has best package deal, who has the better warranty and ofcourse if two brands provide similar packages and same warranty then it comes to who has the better price. PLEASE DO NOT go for AC unit that is $50 cheap but has less features or poor SEER rating. It is never worth it. We have had customers who ended up buying SEER 13 product when SEER 15 was available with low ambient operation for $50 cheaper. But they ended up spending $175 later in winter to buy the back up electric heater, as the standard SEER 13 would not produce heat when the outside temperature went below 15 deg. In short if you buy a high SEER AC unit, with inverter technology, low ambience operation etc, you pay more today, but it is your cheaper option in the long run, as you save $60 approx. per month on electrical bills. Plus they work lot more better than your regular standard units with lot more advanced features. If price is not a big concern, we rate Mitsubishi & LG units as THE BEST in the industry. If you need a quality brand with great customer feedbacks and reviews but a bit cheaper than LG, we would recommend YMGI brand and Friedrich is our third best rates brand for quality and pricing. As per our customer feedbacks, sales and reviews our TOP 5 brands are:

1. YMGI: This brand is very popular mainly for quality products and good tech support in place and their prices are cheaper than most. Their product quality is excellent with good feedback from customers and their promotional prices are unbeatable. Their single zones 9000 btu, 12000 btu and 18000 btu qualify for federal tax credits (see details). Some of their dual and tri zones can run on different modes unlike other brands. For example, if you buy a dual zone from this brand, one indoor unit can run on a AC mode and other can run on a heat mode at the same time. Whereas with other brands both the indoor units are supposed to be either on AC or heat mode.

2. Mitsubishi / LG: Again Mitsubishi & LG are big name brands. Excellent product with A+ rating. LG comes with ART COOL and MIRROR PANELS that you cannot find in any other brand. LG products are seen a lot in european countries. Both Mitsubishi & LG have Inverter type units with high SEER ratings. Their dual zones and tri zone are only one of the few in the industry that qualify for federal tax credits. They have quality single zones that are standard, but they do have INVERTER units as well with high SEER product.

3. Aircon: Aircon products are low priced but very reliable. They have great cuistomer support in place. They come with complete install kits as YMGI. Most of their products are SEER 13 and few they sell are inverter types as well.

4. Klimaire: They have wide range of products. Great tech support offered to our customers, no complaints whatsoever with this brand. This brand offers high SEER products with inverter technology like YMGI does.

5. Shinco: Shinco split air conditioners are equipped with inverter compressor & heat pump. Most models are also ENERGY STAR certified therefore are eligible for tax credits. Each unit also comes with a installation kit. Shinco units a perfect balance of power and efficiency at an extreme low price!

What size unit is good for my application? How to choose the right AC? How much do they cost?

Split air conditioners can cost anywhere from as little as $700 per room to as high as $1500 per room depending upon the size, quality, brand and features.

Keep a pen and paper next to you and write down answers to below questions first. Then move to step 2.

A. First question is how many air handlers (indoor units) would you need?
Answer to this comes from the number of rooms you want to cool or heat. Remember since this is ductless, you will need ONE air handler per room. But if your kitchen, dinning area and living room are all connected and open to each other, in that case you will need just ONE for this entire area. But if your dinning room has walls around it with only a door size opening from the kitchen, in that case you may want to put ONE in kitchen and ONE in dinning room.
B. Are the rooms well insulated? If not we will call it "Situation B"
C. How many windows you have in each room? Are these energy efficient windows? (single pane or double pane windows). If you have 2-3 windows in one room and they are single pane windows that are not energy efficient, we will call it a "Situation C"
D. Then you need to know the height of your ceiling. Is it a regular ceiling or more than 10 ft high? If it has a high ceiling of 15 or 20 ft, we will call it is "Situation D"
E. Do you have any heat generating source in these rooms like sunlight, equipments, computers/server or kitchen etc? If yes, we will call it a "Situation E"

F. Last but not the least you need to know the sq ft of each room.

Once you have the above info, it gets simple then. Below table will help you decide and give you a approx. estimation of what you really need.

Now once you have decided how many units you need, it is time to see what features you want.Low Ambience Feature
For example if you live in New York where the temperature goes below 15 deg quiet a few times in a year and if you need this AC unit to do the heating job as well in the winter time, in that case DO NOT buy the standard SEER 13 without Low Ambience. You need the unit that has Low Ambience operation as they can produce heat in temperature as low as minus 4 deg or zero deg depending upon which unit you end up buying. YMGI/LG/Friedrich/Haier for example have units that produce heat in temperature as low as zero deg.

HIGH SEER AND INVERTER FEATURE
Units with high SEER and inverter techonlogy save you a lot of money on electricity bills. As much as $50 per month approx. So if you have a high SEER unit with Inverter which is $300 - $400 more than the standard unit with SEER 13, you still will be better off buying the expensive one, as after 6-8 months savings are all yours plus such units are lot more advanced with many other good features.

How does Inverter work?

INVERTER technology delivers precise cooling or heating power as per your choice.
It works faster and saves energy while ensuring uniform temperature.

In Depth details:

The inverter tag found on some air conditioners signifies the ability of the unit to continuously regulate its thermal power flow.

Traditional reverse-cycle air-conditioners use a heat pump that is either working at maximum capability or switched off, as the compressor's speed cannot be varied. In order to regulate temperature a thermistor is used to measure the ambient air temperature and switch the compressor on when the ambient air temperature is too far from the desired temperature.

Air-conditioners bearing the inverter tag use a variable-frequency drive to control the speed of the motor and thus the compressor. The variable-frequency drive uses a rectifier to convert the incoming AC current to DC and then uses pulse-width modulation of the DC current within an inverter to produce AC current of a desired frequency. The AC current is used to drive a brushless motor or an induction motor. As the speed of a brushless motor is synchronised to the frequency of the AC current, it is thus possible to build a compressor that can be run at different speeds. Similarly, the voltage and frequency can be varied as needed to efficiently run an induction motor at different speeds. A microcontroller can then sample the current ambient air temperature and adjust the speed of the compressor appropriately.

Eliminating stop-start cycles increases efficiency, extends the life of components, and helps eliminate sharp fluctuations in the load the air-conditioner places on the power supply.

The inverter principle has been applied to a wide range of household appliances including microwave ovens, washing machines, and so on.

If you want Ductless split air conditioner with install kit in your package deal
Usually brands like YMGI, Shicno, AirCon, Klimaire will have a package deal with installation kit included. But other brands will not come with install kit at all. In such cases we offer Copper Tubings, Service valve adpater, Condensor pads etc as optional products to buy. Your installer probably will already have them in his truck. If not you can buy them separately from us when buying brands like LG, Sanyo, Friedrich etc.

What is the best package deal available in the industry?
We have many good deals on our website. But to keep it simple we strongly recommend YMGI products as the best package deal out there in the Industry as of today. Here is the justification:

1. YMGI products have HIGH SEER.
2. Inverter technology
3. Low Ambience Operation.
4. They come with complete install kits.
5. They come with 5 year on compressor and 1 year on parts.
6. Usually these are $350 more than what they are priced now. So yes, they are on sale now. If you compare it to any other brand with similar features and quality, this product is unbeatable.
7. Their advanced units have ehumidification mode. Generic brands will have dehumidification only when your AC mode is on. But this one has a dehumidification mode of its own. Other features are Auto Restart, Sleep mode, Auto Swing Mode etc.

Is this something that I could install myself?   

Some brands specifically require you to have an invoice from your HVAC installer to provide warranty help. So make sure to read warranty details before making your purchase. You can install such units, but it depends upon how good you are technically. You may or may not be able to do it. Some people do the handyman work on the indoor and outdoor unit and pay a small amount to an electrician to hard wire the outdoor unit and pay HVAC professional to vaccuum the lines before releasing the refrigerant. Some people choose to do it all by themselves with their past experience. Manufacturer recommends to have it installed by an HVAC professional. Any of your local professional air conditioning company should be able to install it easily for couple of hundred dollars. It is worth spending this money initially, this way you can have it installed professionally and enjoy the benefits of energy efficient mini split AC for year's to come. You may loose your warranty in some cases if you install this unit yourself.

How does it work?
For example the our mini splits use a high quality compressor and environmentally friendly green refrigerant to cool your home, and an innovative heat pump technology to keep your interiors warm in cold weather. The near silent operation is made possible by installing the compressor outside your home or offi ce. The air handler (indoor AC unit) in your dwelling is designed for ideal climate control, allowing you to cool or heat or dehumidify your interiors. You can conveniently adjust the fan speed, air flow direction, and oscillating louvers via remote control, or simply set the 24 hour timer for care free operation.

How much do they cost to run?
These energy efficient units provide localized cooling and heating for certain parts of your home or office, rather than cooling or heating other areas that are not occupied. This localized climate control enables you to reduce your energy bills. SEER ratings we have is the best standard in industry and mini split AC's are most energy efficient AC's you can ever find.

Does mini split air conditioner have air purification capabilities? Air filters?
Yes. Most of them have Cold catalyst air filter. BUT LG IS THE BEST IN AIR PURIFICATION WITH IT'S PLASMA AIR PURIFICATION CAPABILITIES. SEE VIDEO BELOW

How noisy are the units?
WHISPER QUIET OPERATION is one of the many reasons why they are very popular. The indoor units are typically no noisier than a standard domestic fan, but as they do make some noise, consideration should be given to their location.

Do we sell used split air conditioners?
Absolutely not. We only sell brand new AC's and heat pumps. It will be not worth for you to buy used air conditioners anyways. They may come cheap, but the repair cost will start piling up the cost of the unit and eventually you will either have to just trash it away or you will end up paying twice the price of a brand new unit. HVAC repair cost is expensive on old / defective units. So do not recommend buying a used unit from other sources for example ebay.
