Why use mounting brackets

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 […]

Benefits of the Lineset Covers

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. Here are some of the benefits of using lineset […]

Keep in mind that […]

What is a ceiling cassette mini split?

A ceiling cassette mini-split is another type of ductless heating and cooling system that consists of an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The “mini-split” designation means that it is a smaller and more flexible alternative to traditional HVAC systems, and it doesn’t require ductwork for air distribution. The “ceiling cassette” aspect refers to the […]

What is a floor console mini split?

A floor console mini-split is a type of ductless heating and cooling system that consists of two main components: an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. It is designed to provide efficient and customizable climate control for a specific room or area. The “mini-split” term refers to the fact that these systems are smaller than […]
