A Comfortable Temperature Makes Everyone Feel at Home

What’s the secret behind the functionality of Mini-Split Systems? These innovative heating and cooling units enable you to take control, allowing for personalized temperature settings in distinct rooms or sections of your space.

At the core of the mini-split system, you’ll find two essential components: the outdoor compressor/condenser and the indoor air-handling unit(s), or evaporator. The installation process is far less invasive than traditional air conditioning (AC) units, requiring only a small opening in the wall to accommodate the conduit. This conduit acts as a bridge, carrying power cables, communication cables, copper tubing, and a condensation drain line to connect the indoor and outdoor units.

But that’s not all – mini-split heat pumps shine in versatility. A comprehensive solution for new buildings and entire households, they can be used as retrofit add-ons in properties that lack ducted heating systems. For example, buildings with radiant panels, hydronic systems, or space heaters powered by wood, propane, or kerosene. Perhaps you are building an energy-efficient home that demands a compact yet powerful space conditioning system. Or you need a great solution for room additions where adding ductwork seems impractical. Mini-split heat pumps are an effective, energy-efficient, affordable option that can provide long-term comfort when correctly installed.

To determine if mini-split systems are right for your space, our team at Metro Valley HVAC can evaluate your building and provide expert solutions.

How Do Mini-Split Systems Work?

Enjoy year-round comfort with a system designed to provide customizable heating and cooling. With the hot summers and cold winters throughout Vancouver, Burnaby, and the Tri-Cities, heating and cooling accounts for nearly 2/3 of the energy consumed by Canadian homes. By utilizing mini-split units, homeowners can reduce energy usage and minimize their electricity bills. To warm a space, these systems collect cold air from outside, and the unit’s compressor uses electricity to heat the air before transferring it indoors. To cool a space, mini-split units consume warm indoor air and transfer it outdoors. The energy harnessed from the outdoor air comes at no cost. Therefore, the only consumer expense is the electricity required to power the compressor.

Benefits of Mini-Split Systems

Easy and Efficient
A more energy-efficient alternative to window-mounted AC units, mini-split systems are also simpler to install as they don’t require expensive and complex ductwork.
Save with a Smarter System
Mini-split systems not only use less energy, but they also lose less cooling than traditional AC units. This saves homeowners money on wasted energy.
Customized and Controlled
Want a different temperature for every room? Mini-split systems allow homeowners to customize their heating and cooling through remote controls and timers, accommodating everyone’s preferences.
Enjoy Peace and Quiet
Modern mini-split systems are built with advanced technology to create a peaceful internal environment. To ensure a whisper-quiet system, our team can install the compressors outdoors.

What is the Difference Between Mini-Split Systems and AC Units?

Unlike traditional air-conditioning (AC) units, mini-split systems require minimal to zero ductwork. This reduces significant energy dissipation often seen in the ducts of central forced air systems. This duct-related energy loss, particularly prevalent when ducts run through spaces not conditioned, like attics or basements, can represent upwards of 30% of a home’s space conditioning energy use. So, mini-split systems enhance cooling and heating efficiency while also saving homeowners money by reducing energy loss.

Furthermore, central air systems require extensive and invasive duct installations, which can be costly for homeowners. While AC units are powerful and effective at cooling a space, not everyone can afford the cost of the unit, installation, usage, and maintenance. Mini-split systems offer an efficient and economically viable alternative, ensuring effective space conditioning without the substantial energy losses and financial strains associated with central air systems and their ductwork.
