In This Edition of “Hey Ed,” Ed Discusses the Use of Mini Split Heating and Air Systems to Compliment a Standard Air Heat Pump System
Hey Ed, would you recommend the use of mini split heating and air systems to complement a standard air heat pump system? That's not a bad idea. This is something that I read recently from Florida Solar Energy Center. If you're not familiar with them, they've been doing quality testing, real life tests on air conditioning system systems and heat pumps for a very long time. They did a study on adding a mini split to a home with the idea that it would lower the cost of conditioning the house to the homeowner. I don't necessarily, or I a hundred percent agree with that logic. Uh, but that was not my intent. My intent with adding some additional capacity was to give those people that frequently ask us for a bigger unit, a way to get more BTUs into their house without raising the dew point of the house, or essentially oversizing the air conditioning. And that can be accomplished with that strategy. And that's the way I see it.
