1. Wall-Mounted Units

The wall-mounted unit is one of the most popular options. Installed high on walls, this unit optimizes air distribution and saves space, making it suitable for bedrooms, living rooms, and offices. It’s easy to install with accessible mounting points and simple electrical and line set connections.

2. Mini Floor Console Units

For rooms without high wall space, mini floor consoles offer a powerful solution. Mounted near the floor, they distribute air effectively at lower levels. The setup includes straightforward connection points for line sets and power, allowing seamless integration into existing floor-level setups.

3. Ceiling Cassette Units

Perfect for open spaces, ceiling cassettes are mounted in the ceiling and provide four-way airflow for balanced temperature distribution. These units offer a hidden solution and are ideal for large areas like living rooms or offices. Installation requires access to ceiling space but allows for flexible positioning of connection points.

4. Slim Duct Units

The slim duct unit is designed for discreet installations within ceilings or walls. This type connects seamlessly with flexible line sets, providing a sleek, hidden solution that allows multi-room coverage. Ideal for custom installations, slim ducts keep the unit out of sight while delivering zoned comfort.

5. Universal Floor/Ceiling Units

Offering versatility, the universal unit can be mounted on the floor or ceiling. This unit’s adaptable mounting design fits various layouts, and it connects easily to electrical and line set connections, making it an ideal choice for flexible heating and cooling.

Choosing the Right Mini Split Unit for Your Space

Each of these units has distinct advantages based on space, aesthetic preference, and climate control needs. A licensed HVAC technician should supervise installation for safety and to ensure each unit's optimal function.
