How to Optimize Zoning with Your Ductless Mini-Split System

Customize your air conditioning needs

ductless ac Rehobeth, MA Adding a ductless AC system to your home or business here in southeastern Massachusetts has all sorts of benefits. These types of air conditioners use less electricity than both window air conditioners and central air conditions, which gives them points in the eco-friendly category. They are extremely efficient. In fact, the majority of ductless air conditioners have a seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) of at least 20, which is significantly higher than the required rating of 14. Ductless air conditioners also decrease the chances of mold and other microorganisms growing in your system, which helps make a home’s indoor air healthier and cleaner. On top of all that, they are pretty easy to install and can typically be set up within a single day.

In addition to all the above advantages, a ductless AC system gives a homeowner the option of something called zoning.

How zoning works with a ductless AC

Zoning with a ductless air conditioner lets you select a precise temperature for specific rooms or spaces within your home as opposed to cooling an entire home all at once at one single temperature.

Basically, a home gets divided into separate “zones” and each of those areas gets its own indoor AC unit and thermostat. These units and thermostats give you the control to cool each zone individually.

Optimizing your ductless AC zoning

Ductless air conditioners are intentionally designed to be highly efficient. They actually help cut down on energy usage by up to about 30-40% compared to central air conditioning systems.

That being said, the smarter a homeowner is about ductless AC zoning, the more effective the system will be and the more he or she will save on monthly energy bills.

Here are some tips that a homeowner can follow to ensure that he or she is optimizing his or her ductless AC zoning:

In an effort to conserve energy, increase the temperature in areas of your home that aren’t used regularly and keep the doors to these rooms closed.
Make sure you are dividing your home into zones that make sense based on its layout. It is logical for adjoining rooms to share zones as opposed to putting rooms that are on opposite ends of your home on the same zone.
Keep your air conditioner’s filters clean. This will allow for cool air to flow through your home.
Book regular maintenance appointments with a professional service. This is the best way to ensure your ductless AC system is working as efficiently as possible.
