Whether you have had a renovation to your home that seems to be a little toastier than the rest of the house or you’re simply on the lookout for an efficient way to boost your home’s comfort, a mini-split system might be the way to go.
What’s a mini-split system?
A mini-split system is a ductless form of heating and cooling that is has its focus on individual rooms and spaces, not an entire home or building. Mini-split systems are more flexible and energy efficient than normal central air systems and are simpler to install since there is no ductwork required. They pump air right to wall or ceiling mounted air handling units that have individual wireless electronic temperature control systems.
Mini-split systems aren’t one-size-fits-all, nor are they all produced equally, or for the same size room. Much like common air conditioners, a mini-split system should be sized to fit the area that it will be heating and cooling. Doing so can mean more efficient production for you, which could also lead to savings on your normal energy costs as well. They’re normally used for:
- Hot and/or cold rooms
- Additions/renovations
- Enclosed patios
- Homes without space for ductwork
- Large, multi-zone living spaces
Your local pros at Falso Service Experts are well-versed in mini-split system sizing and are able to provide you with choices based on the size of space that you want to heat and cool.
A quick primer
A mini-split system operates by employing a process that only produces the amount of hot or cold air needed to achieve or maintain the temperature you choose. That being said, a properly sized system is still crucial to receive all of the efficiency benefits offered.

When it comes to measuring for a mini-split system, our team recommends the ideal product for you as we do with all of our heating and cooling equipment. We work directly with you to figure out your needs and calculate the size of the room the system will be heating and cooling. A mini-split system that is too small will end up working more often, meaning you’re wasting energy all the time. However, if your system is too big, you’ll possibly be spending more on the system and run the risk of having your mini-split system flipping on and off frequently.
