What Is a Multi-Zone Mini Split?
Multi-zone ductless mini splits include one outdoor compressor and multiple wall- or ceiling-mounted indoor air handlers. A hole drilled in the wall connects the indoor and outdoor components via a refrigerant line. The refrigerant line transfers heat between indoor spaces and the outside of your home.
The number of indoor units you’ll need depends on the size of your home, the layout, and how many rooms require individual temperature control.
Mitsubishi Multi-Zone Mini Split Solution
Regarding HVAC systems, Mitsubishi multi-zone mini splits are the best in the business. The robust product line includes various systems specifically designed for use in residential or commercial buildings. Certain products are Energy Star-rated. This distinction means the products use less electricity than standard mini split models — helping you save money by keeping energy use and costs low.
Benefits of Multi-Zone Mini Split Systems
Each air handler features its own thermostat, allowing you to vary the temperature in different rooms or “zones” of your home. Do you sleep better in cooler temperatures? Are mild temperatures better for your baby, ensuring they don’t get too hot or cold?
With multi-zone ductless mini split air handlers installed throughout the house, no one will have to compromise comfort. One room can remain toasty, for instance, while a different room is on the colder side.
Strategic placement will keep energy costs low, as you won’t waste money on heating and cooling infrequently used rooms.
Having a multi-zone mini split is also handy if your home lacks the space to install ductwork, you
don’t want to tackle tedious and expensive installation, or you don’t want equipment to affect the interior aesthetic. Ducts can also lead to air loss, giving ductless mini-split systems another advantage in terms of efficiency1.
Our Multi-Zone Mini Split Installation Process
Our Mitsubishi Electric Elite Diamond Contractors prioritize seamless installation and standout customer service. We identify the ideal location (unobstructed wall space that’s away from sunlight and off the ground) for indoor air handler installation. We also identify and create pathways for refrigerant lines.
Next, we mount the brackets on the wall, followed by securing the air handler to them.
Our professionals will work with you to determine the best location for an outdoor condenser unit before connecting it to the refrigerant line. We install the various piping and electrical wiring and encase them in protective materials.
