Frequently Asked Questions
Most Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can install a mini-split system in an RV. Mini-splits are a great option for RVs because they provide efficient heating and cooling without taking up much space.
The size of the mini-split you'll need for an RV typically depends on the square footage of the space. For most RVs, a 9,000 BTU unit is usually sufficient, but larger RVs might require a 12,000 BTU unit. It's best to calculate the specific BTU requirement based on your RV's size and insulation.
Yes, a mini-split system generally requires its own dedicated electrical circuit to ensure it operates safely and efficiently. This helps prevent overloading your electrical system.
Other Questions
It's generally not recommended to lay a mini-split on its side for transport. Doing so can cause oil from the compressor to flow into areas where it shouldn’t be, potentially damaging the unit. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for transporting the unit.
No, a mini-split system does not draw in outside air. It recirculates the indoor air, cooling or heating it as needed. The outdoor unit expels heat from the indoor unit but does not bring outside air into the indoor space.
Yes, a mini-split system can effectively cool a mobile home. These systems are versatile and efficient, making them a good option for maintaining a comfortable temperature in mobile homes.
As mentioned earlier, it is not advisable to transport a mini-split on its side. Transporting it upright is the best way to avoid any potential damage to the unit.
Yes, you can install a mini-split system in a trailer home. They are an efficient and space-saving option for heating and cooling in such setups.
Yes, you can leave a mini-split system on. These systems are designed to be energy-efficient and can maintain a consistent temperature without consuming excessive energy.
Yes, many mini-split systems offer both heating and cooling functions. They can be used to heat your space in the winter and cool it in the summer, making them a versatile solution.
As mentioned earlier, the size of the mini-split will depend on the RV's square footage. A 9,000 BTU unit is often sufficient for most RVs, but you may need a 12,000 BTU unit for larger RVs.
While it is technically possible to install a mini-split system yourself, it is highly recommended to hire a professional. DIY options are also available which do make it easy
