How To Choose Ductless Split Air Conditoner? Which Brand is the best? With
so many different brands out there it does get confusing for the consumers.
We receive calls from confused consumers every single day not knowing
which brand to buy. Simple way to figure that out is by checking your
requirement first, then the features you would like in your AC and based
on all this you can finally narrow it down to three brands. Then see which
one has best package deal, who has the better warranty and ofcourse if
two brands provide similar packages and same warranty then it comes to
who has the better price. PLEASE DO NOT go for AC unit that is $50 cheap
but has less features or poor SEER rating. It is
never worth it. We have had customers who ended up buying SEER
13 product when SEER 15 was available with low ambient operation for $50
cheaper. But they ended up spending $175 later in winter to buy the back
up electric heater, as the standard SEER 13 would not produce heat when
the outside temperature went below 15 deg. In short if you buy a high
SEER AC unit, with inverter technology, low ambience operation etc, you
pay more today, but it is your cheaper option in the long run, as you
save $60 approx. per month on electrical bills. Plus they work lot more
better than your regular standard units with lot more advanced features.
As per our customer feedbacks and reviews our TOP 5 brands are : 1. AmcorAire W/Toshiba compressor. Reason: They have complete package deals with NO HASSLE IN-HOUSE warranty included in the packages. Plus they offer COMPLETE install kits with their packages, so you don't have to worry about buying anything else from your local hardware store. So this brand has great promotinal rates, excellent quality, reliable technical support when needed and above all the IN HOUSE WARRANTY that NO other brand offers. 2. Friedrich: One of the top brands in the Industry. Excellent product. Great tech support offered to our existing customers, no complaints whatsoever with this brand. This brand offer high SEER products with inverter technology like AmcorAire does. 3. LG: Again LG is a big name brand. Excellent product. Comes with ART COOL and MIRROR PANELS that you cannot find in any other brand. LG products are seen a lot in european countries. Some of them are very standard, but they do have INVERTER units as well with high SEER product. 4. Sanyo OR CARRIER: Sanyo and Carrier are very popular as well. Their product quality is excellent. But our customers have found them to be a bit more expensive than the above Top 3. 5.
Klimaire: Klimaire products are cheaper in prices. If
you are looking for a cheapest ductless AC system, then Klimaire could
be your option, but they may not have all the advanced features and warranty
that AmcorAire provides. What size unit is good for my application? How to choose the right AC? Keep a pen and paper next to you and write down answers to below questions first. Then move to step 2. A.
First question is how many air handlers (indoor units) would you need? F. Last but not the least you need to know the sq ft of each room. Once you have the above info, it gets simple then. Below table will help you decide and give you a approx. estimation of what you really need.
Now once you have decided how many units you need, it is time to see what features you want. Low

SEER AND INVERTER FEATURE How does Inverter work? INVERTER
technology delivers precise cooling or heating power as per your choice. In Depth details: The inverter tag found on some air conditioners signifies the ability of the unit to continuously regulate its thermal power flow. Traditional reverse-cycle air-conditioners use a heat pump that is either working at maximum capability or switched off, as the compressor's speed cannot be varied. In order to regulate temperature a thermistor is used to measure the ambient air temperature and switch the compressor on when the ambient air temperature is too far from the desired temperature. Air-conditioners bearing the inverter tag use a variable-frequency drive to control the speed of the motor and thus the compressor. The variable-frequency drive uses a rectifier to convert the incoming AC current to DC and then uses pulse-width modulation of the DC current within an inverter to produce AC current of a desired frequency. The AC current is used to drive a brushless motor or an induction motor. As the speed of a brushless motor is synchronised to the frequency of the AC current, it is thus possible to build a compressor that can be run at different speeds. Similarly, the voltage and frequency can be varied as needed to efficiently run an induction motor at different speeds. A microcontroller can then sample the current ambient air temperature and adjust the speed of the compressor appropriately. Eliminating stop-start cycles increases efficiency, extends the life of components, and helps eliminate sharp fluctuations in the load the air-conditioner places on the power supply. The inverter principle
has been applied to a wide range of household appliances including microwave
ovens, washing machines, and so on. If

is the best package deal available in the industry? 1.
Below AmcorAire products have HIGH SEER.
Is this something that I could install myself? YES and NO. Depends if you are good technically. You may or may not be able to do it. Some people do the handyman work on the indoor and outdoor unit and pay a small amount to an electrician to hard wire the outdoor unit and pay HVAC professional to vaccuum the lines before releasing the refrigerant. Some people choose to do it all by themselves with their past experience. Manufacturer recommends to have it installed by an HVAC professional. Any of your local professional air conditioning company should be able to install it easily for couple of hundred dollars. It is worth spending this money initially, this way you can have it installed professionally and enjoy the benefits of energy efficient mini split AC for year's to come. And once installed our NO HASSLE warranty (on AmcorAire Duo Only) is the most convinient it can get. FREE PARTS AND LABOR AND SERVICE for first year. You may or may not loose your warranty if you install thi unit yourself. Some brands specifically require you to have an invoice from your HVAC installer to provide warranty help. So make sure to read warranty details before making your purchase. But

What is HSPF?
HSPF is the abbreviation for the Heating Seasonal Performance Factor. This
factor rates the efficient operation of the heating portion of the heat pump.
As the HSPF increases, the unit functions at a more efficient level. New units
in the United States have HSPF ratings from 7.0 to 9.4.
Heating Seasonal Performance Factor-the total heating output in B.T.U's during
it's normal usage period for heating divided by the total electrical energy
input in watt hours during the same period
What is a Heat Pump and How Does It Work?
A Heat Pump is an electrical device that takes heat from one place and transfers
it to another. A heat pump transfers heat by circulating environmentally friendly
refrigerant through a cycle of evaporation and condensation. A compressor
then pumps the refrigerant between two heat exchange coils. In one coil the
refrigerant is evaporated at low pressure and absorbs the heat from the surroundings.
The refrigerant is then compressed on the way to the other coil where it condenses
at high pressure. Now the heat pump releases the heat it absorbed earlier
in the cycle. This process is reversible for the summer months and the heat
pump acts as a cooling system.
Why Purchase A Heat Pump?
A heat pump is the most energy efficient way to heat and cool your home.
Heat pumps utilize the renewable heat sources in our surroundings in order
to produce heat. The air, ground and water provide useful heat that is warmed
up by the heat pump and delivered into the home. Sources such as the air,
ground and water provide more heat than realized and the heat pump makes use
of these sources that are continuously heated by the sun.
WIth British Columbia's mild weather conditioins, having a heat pump is the
most logical, environmentally friendly and efficient source of in-home heating
and cooling.
How Do You Measure A Heat Pump's Efficiency?
Heat pumps provide both cooling and heating, so the efficiency is measured
in two different ways. When the heat pump cools, a SEER rating or Seasonal
Energy Efficiency Ratio measures the efficiency. The SEER rating is similar
to gas mileage on a car. The higher the SEER rating the more efficient it
is. Most of today's heat pumps have a SEER rating between 13.0 and 19.0 SEER.
When the heat pump heats the home, a Heating Seasonal Performance Factor or
HSPF rates the efficiency. The HSPF rating works the same way as the SEER
rating does. The higher the HSPF, the more efficient the system is. Most new
units today have a HSPF rating between 7.7 to 9.0 HSPF.
What does SEER mean?
Season Energy Efficiency Ratio. It is a system for rating the efficiency of
air conditioning equipment. SEER is calculated by dividing the cooling capacity
in BTU/H, of a continuously operating air conditioner, by the electric power
input, or watts, of power consumed. The higher the SEER, the less the unit
should cost to operate.
What is a heat pump and how does it work?
A heat pump combines cooling and heating in one unit. When cooling, the heat
pumps operates like an air conditioner, removing the heat from indoors and
transferring it outdoors. In the winter the heat pump takes heat from the
outdoor air and transfers it inside your home. Even at freezing temperatures,
there is heat in the outdoor air that can be used to warm a home with a heat
pump. To raise the heat pump’s output on very cold days, electric resistance
heaters are installed in the indoor section of the unit.
What is R-410A?
R-410A is a hydro fluorocarbon (HFC), which is an environmentally friendly
refrigerant that is considered by most to be the likely replacement for R-22.
Both Carrier and Lennox heat pumps use envronmentally friendly R-410A refrigerant. This refrigerant does not deplete the ozone layer and is seen as the logical replacement for Freon R-22. Carrier beat the competition by six years and introduced Puron refrigerant or R-410A. Use of R-410A adds to the efficiency and realiability of a heat pump.
Are there any good reasons for replacing
my existing system if it is still functioning?
You should consider replacing your system if it is old, and therefore less
efficient or if it will probably need major repairs in the near future. New
systems can be 60% more efficient than systems built only 10 years ago. Normal
wear and tear can reduce the efficiency of your system. Another costly season
of utility bills or paying for an expensive failed part can go a long way
toward the cost of a new system.
How do I know what to buy?
Make sure the unit that you select is the correct size for your needs. Systems
that are too large or too small can be inefficient. We would be pleased to
provide an energy analysis to show you the true operating cost. If someone
in the family has allergies, an air filtration system should be part of the
installation.
What does it mean to zone my house
and why should I zone my house?
A zoning system is designed for the many ways you use your home. Maybe you're
caught up in family "thermostat wars"? Or perhaps you have unoccupied areas
that do not need conditioning? A Lennox® zoning system allows you to divide
your home into separate areas, giving you the comfort and control you've always
wanted. The main benefits of residential zoning are: Comfort Zoning
meets the specific temperature and airflow requirements of one area, without
affecting other areas. Efficiency A properly designed zoning system
can save you hundreds of dollars in energy costs each year. Control Zoning
divides the home into different areas and comfort into different levels, giving
you more choices and control than ever before. Quiet Performance When
integrated with variable speed and/or two-stage HVAC systems, zoning allows
your heating and cooling equipment to deliver peak performance and efficiency
without continually operating at peak capacity. Lower speeds mean lower sound
levels.
What else might be needed if I replace
my old system?
Beside the installation of new equipment, other items need to be inspected
and possibly replaced, such as, thermostat, ducts, refrigerant piping, electrical
service, wiring, condensate piping, insulation, flue piping and terminations,
chimney liner, slabs, filter, registers, grills, drain pans and evaporator
coil.
Should I change my indoor coil?
How often should I change or clean my filters?
Dirty filters should be replaced to prevent equipment from working harder,
resulting in energy waste and possibly causing damage to your unit. Filters
should generally be replaced every month when the system is running. Filters
should be replaced with the same kind and size as your original filter. If
the filter is not disposable, follow the manufacturer’s instructions
for cleaning it.
Should I cover my outdoor unit in the winter?
Covering the unit is not necessary. Air conditioners are built to withstand
a wide range of climate changes. Rain even helps keep your unit clean. Since
heat pumps run all year long, they should not be covered.
Should I set my thermostat fan to the
"ON" position so the fan runs all the time? (not available with all brands
and models)?
There are advantages. One is full-time filtering of the air in your home.
Another is that you can maintain a more even temperature throughout your home.
What causes indoor air pollution?
Many everyday household items contribute to poor indoor air quality. Compounds
found in carpeting, furniture, upholstery and drapery fabric consistently
emit gas or fumes. Other sources of pollutants can include, but are not limited
to, cleaning agents, paints and personal care products. Also, newer homes
that are tightly sealed for energy efficiency tend to limit air circulation,
which can contribute to a buildup of contaminants. Likewise, things like weather
stripping and storm doors keep stale air in and fresh air out.
How can I improve my indoor air quality?
There are five basic strategies for outsmarting indoor air pollution: Identify
the problem:
The first step toward better indoor air is to identify the types of pollutants
present in the home. The best way to do this is to schedule an in-home air-quality
test. Reduce concentrations of particles and bioaerosols
Routine cleaning and housekeeping helps reduce indoor air pollutants, but
these simple fixes are not cure-alls. Some contaminants are so small that
they may escape through the vacuum or never land on a surface. Lennox HEPA
filtration systems, electronic air cleaners, high-efficiency air filters capture
even the smallest of particles and bioaerosols. Reduce or eliminate chemical
vapors and odors
Chemical vapors and odors can come from many different sources inside and
outside the home. Once inside the home, these potentially toxic pollutants
circulate through the ductwork, entering every room and living space. A Lennox
air purification system removes and destroys 50% of household chemical vapors
and odors within 24 hours. Ventilate Your Home
Today's modern homes are well-insulated and sealed to conserve energy, which
means airborne pollutants have no way to escape. Lennox® ventilation systems
help remove particles and bioaerosols by exchanging stale, recirculated indoor
air with fresh, filtered outside air.
