What Size Mini-Split AC System Do I Need for My Murfreesboro Home?

When it comes to finding the right HVAC system for keeping your home cozy and comfortable, mini-split systems are often a great choice for many homeowners. But if you’re used to more traditional heating and cooling systems, navigating the complexities of mini-split systems can be challenging.

In this blog, you’ll learn everything you need to know about getting the right mini-split system for your home to achieve optimal year-round comfort.

How To Size What Mini-Split You Need for Your Home

Just like with traditional heating and cooling systems, there are variables that need to be taken into account for your mini-split system to work effectively and efficiently. Here’s a high-level guide to get you started:

• Calculate the area: Measure the square footage of the space you want to cool. Generally, you’ll need about 20 BTU (British Thermal Units) per square foot.
• Consider room usage: Kitchens usually need more cooling power, depending on the frequency of stove and oven use: approximately 4,000 BTUs on top of the standard calculation. Higher ceilings and more-than-usual windows might also require more power.
• Evaluate your insulation: Good insulation significantly reduces cooling needs, while poor insulation might require a more powerful system.
• Check for existing systems: If you’re adding to an existing system, consider how the systems will work together to cool your space efficiently.

These factors make all the difference between having a system that works as intended for years to come and a system that experiences premature wear and tear, frequent issues, and requires repairs often.
