If you want an all-in-one heating and cooling solution in Corvallis, OR, consider a ductless mini-split. At Home Comfort Inc. HVAC company, we offer a range of systems that can function as standalone solutions or alongside your central HVAC.
Since mini-splits both cool and heat, they should have maintenance performed on them twice a year. Routine AC and heater maintenance helps to extend the life of the equipment. It also improves efficiency, lowers operating costs, and helps to avoid the most common repairs.
"Had them replace a/c unit and furnace. Excellent work completed on time and no hassle. I highly recommend Home Comfort. We have been having yearly service inspections for over 20 years. They are the best."
-B. Bain
Most mini-split warranties require seasonal maintenance. You should schedule cooler maintenance in the spring and heater maintenance in the fall. This is necessary because you’re using the same equipment in both the summer and winter. In heat mode, a mini-split functions just like an AC but is running the refrigeration process in reverse.
We offer a full range of dependable residential HVAC services, including:
All mini-splits have an outdoor condenser unit. This unit transfers heat between the refrigerant and ambient air. It houses the condenser coil, pump, and fan. The coil requires cleaning because grime buildup can act as an insulator and make the process less efficient. The fan often needs balancing, and the pump must be lubricated.
A mini-split system has one indoor unit for each zone in the home, and each unit requires service. These units have an evaporator coil, which needs cleaning for the same reason a condenser coil does. There’s a condensate drainage system to clean, as it can clog over time. It’s also important to swap out the filter and test and calibrate the thermal sensor.
There are many options available if you’d like to add a ductless mini-split or replace an old unit. Typical multi-zone systems have between two and four indoor units. If you need more than that, many modern systems support up to eight zones. For large homes, multiple condenser units can be added to increase that limit even further.
There are a range of options for mounting your indoor units. Wall-mounted units are the most common. These modern devices have a slim form that doesn’t take up a lot of valuable wall real estate. Ceiling units are a popular alternative. You can mix and match depending on the configuration of the various rooms.
We offer a range of options to help ensure your mini-split can keep you warm all winter long. Some homeowners opt for a hybrid setup. This is where you have a furnace for auxiliary heating. It kicks on when it’s too cold for the mini-split to be efficient. There are also mini-splits that provide their own auxiliary heating through electric resistive heating strips.
A modern ductless mini-split provides you with many benefits:
Quiet operation
Energy incentives
High energy efficiency
Enhanced indoor air quality
Affordable heating and cooling
