Frequently Asked questions
What is a mini-split system?
Mini-splits are a ductless solution to heating and cooling individual rooms or spaces. They are discrete and reduce installation efforts.
Can I have a multi-zone mini-split system?
Yes! Mini-splits can be configured for single-zone or multi-zone applications. Each unit is connected to one outdoor unit.
Do I need a contractor to purchase and install my mini-split system?
You can purchase Durastar’s mini-split units directly from Build with Ferguson. However, we recommend working with a contractor to ensure you acquire the best combination of products, install the system properly, and take full advantage of the products’ warranty. Please note that warranties may be voided if not installed by a licensed professional.
What is a multi-zone ductless unit?
A multi-zone ductless unit offers customers a duct-free solution for whole-home heating and cooling. Like mini-splits, these systems have one outdoor unit, however, the outdoor unit connects with up to six indoor units for total comfort.
Where are mini-split units mounted?
Mini-split units offer customers flexibility in more ways than one. They can be mounted on the ceiling, wall, or floor. In addition, with an air handler, mini-splits are simple to integrate into existing ductwork.
Are mini-split units loud?
Thanks to their DC motors, inverter compressors, and compact design most mini-split solutions offer quiet operation and discrete mounting options. Before purchasing, check the unit’s decibel rating (dB)as a reference to compare units.
Where can I buy a mini-split air conditioner?
Durastar’s mini-splits are available for purchase through Build With Ferguson. Although these ductless air conditioners can be purchased directly, we recommend working with an HVAC contractor. Not only does this ensure the most suitable combination of HVAC products for your application but also it secures the full extent of the manufacturer’s warranty.
Is an air handler or furnace better?
Both Durastar’s furnaces and air handlers offer dependable options for distributing even airflow throughout your home. When selecting between the two, consider your location and climate. For areas with long warm seasons, an air handler will likely be more energy-efficient, however, we recommend discussing your options with a licensed contractor to ensure the best combinations of HVAC products for your home.
What does variable speed mean?
Variable speed air handlers operate at the lowest possible speed to achieve your desired indoor temperature. This results in increased energy efficiency. Variable speed units are also quieter than standard units.
Is a two-stage air handler more efficient than a single-stage air handler?
Yes, when paired with a two-stage outdoor unit, both units will operate on low capacity during milder days, requiring less energy; and switch to full capacity and power when needed.
What is an inverter compressor?
It is a compressor that seamlessly adjusts speeds to ensure the lowest energy output. Unlike standard compressors which may turn off and on repeatedly until the temperature is achieved, inverter compressors operate with a drive that modulates its speed, using minimal power to maintain your desired indoor temperature. As a result, these types of compressors use significantly less energy and have a longer life because they are not turned off and on to full power repeatedly.
What are the differences between variable speed, ECM, and PSC blower motors?
A variable-speed blower motor offers the most efficiency and adjusts speed to maintain consistent temperature control. It can also detect your home’s static pressure. Furthermore, if ducts are dirty or clogged it will automatically adjust to maintain constant airflow. In comparison to other types, variable-speed motors offer superior dehumidification because of their ability to operate at low RPMs. This results in a more comfortable space. ECM, or electronically commutated motors, are equipped with a regulator so you can select the most efficient settings for your home. Then, it adjusts its torque to maintain your desired indoor temperature. This is slightly different from variable speed motors in that they adjust to maintain a constant CFM (or airflow). PSC, also known as a permanent split capacitor, runs at one constant speed.
