Our multi-zone mini-split installations are designed to be non-invasive, quick, and cost-effective. Outdoor units are connected to indoor air handlers through a small conduit that houses the power, refrigerant, and communication cables. With our professional certified GREE mini-split installers, the installation process is stress-free. The time required to install a multi-zone mini-split system depends on how many zones your space needs, and the accessibility of the installation locations. However, one key benefit of mini-split systems is that they do not require existing ductwork, resulting in significant savings for the customer. Not needing ductwork also means the installation process doesn’t require invasive construction within your space.
Components of Multi-Zone Mini-Split Systems
Multi-zone mini-split AC systems consist of several components, including:
- An outdoor unit: This contains the compressor, condenser, and expansion valve.
- Indoor air handlers: These are mounted on walls or ceilings and contain a fan and an evaporator that distribute the hot or cold air.
- The conduit: The outdoor unit(s) are connected to indoor units through a small conduit that houses the power and communication cables, along with refrigerant lines.
- A control system: This allows you to control the temperature in each room or zone individually.
Installing a Multi-Zone Mini-Split System
The first step in multi-zone mini-split installation is determining the size of the system you need based on the size of your home or business and your heating and cooling needs. The more rooms that you want to heat and cool, the more zones and indoor air-handlers you’ll likely need to evenly distribute air throughout your space.
Next you’ll want to identify the ideal location for your indoor and outdoor units. The indoor units should be installed in a location that allows for maximum airflow and easy access for maintenance. The outdoor unit should be installed in a location that has good airflow, and won’t be subject to overgrowth from outdoor landscaping. The outdoor unit should also be out of the way of any large vehicles such as snow plows.
Once the outdoor units and indoor air handlers are installed, they are connected through a conduit along with their refrigerant lines and a power source. Once the installation is complete, the system should be tested to ensure that all units are operating properly and that there are no leaks in the refrigerant lines. Your certified GREE installer will make sure all is in perfect working order before leaving you with an effective new heating & cooling system for your home or business.
