David Butler replied to Jan Green's discussion Mini split installation location"I'm not sure if I'm making myself clear. You don't want to 'squeeze' the outdoor unit between the building and block wall. The installation manual will call out specific clearances for outdoor unit for rear, sides, front and…"
Jan Green replied to Jan Green's discussion Mini split installation location"I agre that the south wall would be shaded for the warmer summer months, but it won't look right aesthetically having a window and a wall mount min-split on a 7' wall. I think the wider west wall woudl be better. We can place it low…"
Jan Green replied to Jan Green's discussion Mini split installation location"I'll check on electrical. Good point. "
Jan Green replied to Jan Green's discussion Mini split installation location"Thank you for that. I wanted to put it on the west wall since there isn't much chance of a lot of west exposed sun and would look better aesthetically in the room. The west wall is limited on space between the block wall and the…"
David Butler replied to Jan Green's discussion Mini split installation location"Hi Jan, actually, I said you'd be find putting it on the west wall since you wanted a larger window. There's no need to set the outdoor unit on the same wall as the indoor unit. According to your drawing, the room (excluding closet and…"
Walter Ahlgrim replied to Jan Green's discussion Mini split installation location"Being a Flip you must consider the install cost. At least get a bid for a PTAC unit like the ones found in most hotel rooms.
With either choice I would put it on the long wall so it is closer to the center of the room.
If the unit is mostly for…"
Daniel Baur-McGuire replied to Jan Green's discussion Mini split installation location"South Wall. It will have the highest load needed for cooling/heating. the shade from the tree could help the outdoor unit operate more efficiently in the summer.
Look into a mini split with a sensor for hot/cool spots. It will direct airflow to…"
Glen Gallo replied to Jan Green's discussion Mini split installation location"I would add where is the power coming from?
the south wall proposed might have easier access for the electrical run"
Franco Oyuela replied to Jan Green's discussion Mini split installation location"First: Mini split are a great option.
Second:vI agree with David that installing on the south wall, above the window woudl work."
Jan Green replied to Jan Green's discussion Mini split installation location"Thank you, thank you! I appreciate your insights. I agree with the idea that installing on the south wall, above the window woudl work. The room is longer than wider, so instaslling on the farthest wall would be idea. …"
David Butler replied to Jan Green's discussion Mini split installation location"Hi Jan, in a room like that with a relatively balanced aspect ratio, flat ceiling and not much glass, the mini-split could probably be located on any wall. With the information provided, the west wall looks good, preferably near the center.
In…"
Jan Green replied to Jan Green's discussion Mini split installation location"This is a very rough diagram of the detached casita. There are currently no windows in this casita. We need to add one to the south end and the current HVAC contractor wants to add the mini-split to the same wall with 7'…"
David Butler replied to Jan Green's discussion Mini split installation location"Really hard to advise without knowing the layout. But you're asking good questions. Any chance you can post the floor plan or 'sketch and scan'?"

Reaching out to the experts today to ask about location of installation of a mini split. I'm a realtor, not an HVAC contractor. I'm working on a "flip" that will be more energy efficient than most, think HPwES. For the separate detached casita we are replacing a window AC unit placed in a sealed off window with a new 3 x 3 window and a mini-split. An HVAC contractor is proposing the muni-split to be installed on the same south facing wall as the newly installed window. The picture belows…See More

Wonky HVAC System
Posted on September 7, 2016 at 11:24pm 9 Comments 0 Likes
Yesterday I showed a home that was a complete remodel with added square footage. The original house was 775 sq ft., stick built in 1946, with maybe a 6" crawl space. The owner added 1000 sq ft to the main house and built a separate finished "workshop" on a separate HVAC system.
Walking around the side of the house, I saw an HVAC system twice the normal width with a faded sticker. It was a Goodman but that's all I could tell from the outside. No idea how old it was but the…
