Minisplit systems

Separate climate zones

Mini-split heat pumps and air conditioners, such as Zoned Comfort Solutions®, can be installed in one of two configurations: a one-to-one design featuring an outdoor condensing unit connected to an indoor unit via small refrigerant lines, or a multi-zone design with an outdoor condensing unit connecting up to eight indoor units. One-to-one configurations are ideal for conditioning a singular room, while multi-zone configurations divide a home into multiple “comfort zones” designated by room and usage. Zoning enables you to customize the temperature set points of each zone without impacting other rooms. Each zone can have a different temperature set point. For example, if you have a baby napping in a nursery upstairs while your older kids are watching a movie in the basement, you can set back the temperature of the nursery to provide a restful sleep environment while elevating the temperature in the basement to keep it warm.

Too hot or too cold

If you currently have an uncomfortable bedroom that’s often too hot or too cold, you’re not alone. For most homes with a traditional, centralized heating and air-conditioning system, long-run ductwork is used. Bedrooms are commonly at the very end of these duct runs with the thermostat typically in the hallway. Conditioned air has farther to travel, resulting in lackluster temperature control. In fact, according to the 2019 American Home Comfort Study, 49 percent of centralized system owners report having at least one room that's too warm in the summer and 52 percent have at least one room that's too cold in the winter.

With mini-split zoning, indoor units are placed directly in the room or near the room you require heating and cooling, to ensure you’re receiving the maximum amount of conditioned air efficiently and at the right temperature. This method is more effective and wastes less energy than using ductwork. You’ll also receive the benefit of zoned filtration and humidity control for a healthier environment. To fit any aesthetic and home, Zoned Comfort Solutions offers both ductless and ducted options to make renovating your bedroom for comfort easy!
