Where Do we install Mini Split Systems and why?
Tack Rooms
The hot and humid climate of the southern United States poses challenges for horse owners in preserving leather tack, as high humidity promotes mold and mildew growth.
​
​
Installing a mini-split system in tack rooms provides an efficient solution by regulating temperature and humidity, ensuring a dry, controlled environment. Given the small size and unique layout of most tack rooms, mini-split systems are an ideal choice, as they eliminate the need for complicated and costly ductwork while delivering precise climate control. This helps protect valuable leather equipment, reduces maintenance efforts, and extends the lifespan of saddles and bridles.
​
Benefits of Mini-Split in Tack Rooms:
​
-
Maintains a consistent temperature and reduces humidity levels.
-
Protects leather tack from mold, mildew, and damage.
-
Reduces the time and effort needed for cleaning and conditioning tack.
-
Extends the lifespan of expensive saddles and bridles.
-
Eliminates the need for ductwork, making it perfect for small, uniquely shaped rooms.
-
Operates efficiently and quietly, ideal for stable environments.

​​​Garage
Maintaining the ideal humidity level is crucial for protecting antique cars from rust, mold, and deterioration of interior materials.
Experts recommend keeping the humidity level in garages storing antique cars between 40-50% to prevent condensation that can lead to rust and corrosion while also avoiding excessive dryness that can damage leather, rubber, and wood components. A mini-split system provides precise humidity control, making it an excellent choice for safeguarding classic automobiles in garage environments.

Frequently asked questions
-
Can I Install my Mini Split?We recommend qualified AC professionals to do the installation of your Mini Split. However, our units are easy to install, specially the Quick Connect Models. These are the most challenging steps of the installation process: 1. Opening the whole to run the refrigerant lines If drilling in concrete, you need a hammer drill and a masonry bit (1 5/8") Running the copper lines You need to be careful the lines are not kinked. You will need copper tube bender If not using our Quick Connect Units You will need a refrigerant vacuum pump and AC-refrigerant gauges We are here to guide you through the process. Please let us know how we can help.
-
What maintenance is recommended to be performed to my Mini Split?The good news is that, not much maintenance is required to keep you Mini Split Operational. This are the things we recommend and the frequency: Clean the filter Frequency: Monthly Clean the Drain Line Every six months. This is very simple process that is accomplished by vacuuming the drain line from the outside Clen the coil We recommend this to be performed yearly. However, in many cases owners do not clean their Min Split coild for years and it does not become a problem Depending on the space characteristics, for example, you would expect more dust and particulate be present in you garage vs your bedroom
-
How does the DC inverter technology in my mini-split work?The DC inverter technology in your mini-split converts the AC power supply into DC and then modulates it back to AC with variable frequency. This frequency determines the speed of the compressor motor, allowing the compressor to operate at various speeds to produce the precise amount of cooling or heating needed.
-
How does a mini-split heat pump operate and switch between heating and cooling modes?The mini-split heat pump operates by transferring heat rather than generating it, making it highly energy-efficient compared to traditional heating systems. In cooling mode, heat is absorbed from the indoor air by the refrigerant in the indoor unit, carried to the outdoor unit, and released outside. The cooled air is then circulated back into the room. In heating mode, the system reverses the cycle, extracting heat from the outdoor air (even in cold weather) and transferring it indoors. A reversing valve facilitates this switch between heating and cooling modes.
-
Why does the indoor fan in my mini-split run continuously?The indoor fan in your mini-split runs continuously to maintain even temperatures, enhance air quality, and improve energy efficiency. Operating at low power, it doesn't significantly impact energy costs or wear out the fan. Continuous operation is beneficial for the system's longevity and performance, as frequent starting and stopping can cause more wear on electrical components.
-
How does the Dry mode function in my mini-split affect fan speed and humidity control?In Dry mode, the system prioritizes humidity reduction over temperature adjustment by setting the fan to a low, fixed speed. This deliberate airflow rate enhances moisture extraction from the air, optimizing dehumidification. The fan speed remains constant in this mode to prevent any disruption to the moisture removal process.
