A lineset in a mini-split air conditioning system plays a crucial role in transferring refrigerant between the indoor and outdoor units of the system. The lineset consists of two copper pipes that are typically insulated and bundled together. These pipes are known as the refrigerant lines. Here’s what each of the pipes in the lineset […]
Mounting brackets for mini-split HVAC systems offer several benefits: Stability and Support: Brackets provide a stable and secure platform for the outdoor condenser unit of a mini-split system. This is crucial for ensuring the unit remains level and doesn’t shift over time. Protection from Vibration: Mini-split systems can generate vibrations during operation. Mounting brackets help […]
Lineset covers, also known as line set covers or line hide, offer several benefits when used with mini-split systems. These covers are designed to encase and protect the refrigerant lines, communication wires, and condensate lines that connect the indoor and outdoor units of a mini-split system.
