FAQ'S ON DUCTLESS MINI SPLIT AIR CONDITIONERS - MOST COMMON QUESTIONS!

 

What are mini split air conditioners?
Like the central air conditioner units, ductless mini split air conditioners have two main components: an outdoor compressor/condenser, and an indoor air-handling unit. A conduit, which houses the power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing, and a condensate drain, links the outdoor and indoor units through a small hole (3 inches usually) that is drilled in the wall of the building. The main advantages of mini split air conditioners are their small size and flexibility for zoning or heating and cooling individual rooms. The number depends on how much heating or cooling is required for the building or each zone (which is also affected by how well the building is insulated). Since each of the split air conditioner zones/rooms will have it's own thermostat, you only need to condition that area when someone is present, which saves energy and money. If you are in a office building at a higher floor, you can also install Outside Compressor using our Wall Bracket.

Which Brand is the best?

With so many different brands out there it does get confusing for the consumers. We receive calls from confused consumers every single day not knowing which brand to buy. Simple way to figure that out is by checking your requirement first, then the features you would like in your AC and based on all this you can finally narrow it down to three brands. Then see which one has best package deal, who has the better warranty and ofcourse if two brands provide similar packages and same warranty then it comes to who has the better price. PLEASE DO NOT go for AC unit that is $50 cheap but has less features or poor SEER rating. It is never worth it. We have had customers who ended up buying SEER 13 product when SEER 15 was available with low ambient operation for $50 cheaper. But they ended up spending $175 later in winter to buy the back up electric heater, as the standard SEER 13 would not produce heat when the outside temperature went below 15 deg. In short if you buy a high SEER AC unit, with inverter technology, low ambience operation etc, you pay more today, but it is your cheaper option in the long run, as you save $60 approx. per month on electrical bills. Plus they work lot more better than your regular standard units with lot more advanced features. If price is not a big concern, we rate LG units as THE BEST in the industry. If you need a quality brand with great customer feedbacks and reviews but a bit cheaper than LG, we would recommend YMGI brand and Friedrich is our third best rates brand for quality and pricing. As per our customer feedbacks and reviews our TOP 4 brands are :

1. YMGI : This brand is very popular mainly for quality products and good tech support in place and their prices are cheaper than most. Their product quality is excellent with good feedback from customers and their promotional prices are unbeatable. Their single zones 9000 btu, 12000 btu and 18000 btu qualify for federal tax credits (see details). Their dual and tri zones can run on different modes unlike other brands. For example, if you buy a dual zone from this brand, one indoor unit can run on a AC mode and other can run on a heat mode at the same time. Whereas with other brands both the indoor units are supposed to be either on AC or heat mode.

2. LG: Again LG is a big name brand. Excellent product. Comes with ART COOL and MIRROR PANELS that you cannot find in any other brand. LG products are seen a lot in european countries. LG has both standard and Inverter type units with high SEER ratings. Their dual zones and tri zone are only one of the few in the industry that qualifies for federal tax credits. They have quality single zones that are standard, but they do have INVERTER units as well with high SEER product.

3. Haier: Haier products are very reliable. They have great cuistomer support in place. Their prices are low but they do not come iwth complete install kits as YMGI. But you can always buy that from your installer or Home Depot for just $200.

4. Friedrich: One of the top brands in the Industry. Excellent product. Great tech support offered to our existing customers, no complaints whatsoever with this brand. This brand offers high SEER products with inverter technology like YMGI does.

5. Shinco: Shinco products are cheaper in prices. They have good black panel units that look lot like LG units.

 

What size unit is good for my application? How to choose the right AC?

Keep a pen and paper next to you and write down answers to below questions first. Then move to step 2.

A. First question is how many air handlers (indoor units) would you need?
Answer to this comes from the number of rooms you want to cool or heat. Remember since this is ductless, you will need ONE air handler per room. But if your kitchen, dinning area and living room are all connected and open to each other, in that case you will need just ONE for this entire area. But if your dinning room has walls around it with only a door size opening from the kitchen, in that case you may wanna put ONE in kitchen and ONE in dinning room.
B. Are the rooms well insulated? If not we will call it "Situation B"
C. How many windows you have in each room? Are these energy efficient windows? (single pane or double pane windows). If you have 2-3 windows in one room and they are single pane windows that are not energy efficient, we will call it a "Situation C"
D. Then you need to know the height of your ceiling. Is it a regular ceiling or more than 10 ft high? If it has a high ceiling of 15 or 20 ft, we will call it is "Situation D"
E. Do you have any heat generating source in these rooms like sunlight, equipments, computers/server or kitchen etc? If yes, we will call it a "Situation E"

F. Last but not the least you need to know the sq ft of each room.

Once you have the above info, it gets simple then. Below table will help you decide and give you a approx. estimation of what you really need.

Please consult your HVAC installer before making your decision. Below info can help you decide, but it cannot be guaranteed accurate under different circumstances.

NO
NO
TWO 18000 BTU'S NEEDED A TOTAL OF 36000 BTUS
NO
For room more than 1000 sq ft, example it is a office space with 1500 sq ft, you will need more than one unit in that one big room for better circulation. So you can buy a 2-3 sinagles zone units or dual zone, trizone or a quadzone depending upon how big the room is as per above calculations.

Now once you have decided how many units you need, it is time to see what features you want. Low Ambience Feature
For example if you live in New York where the temperature goes below 15 deg quiet a few times in a year and if you need this AC unit to do the heating job as well in the winter time, in that case DO NOT buy the standard SEER 13 without Low Ambience. You need the unit that has Low Ambience operation as they can produce heat in temperature as low as minus 4 deg or zero deg depending upon which unit you end up buying. YMGI/LG/Friedrich/Haier for example have units that produce heat in temperature as low as zero deg.

HIGH SEER AND INVERTER FEATURE
Units with high SEER and inverter techonlogy save you a lot of money on electricity bills. As much as $50 per month approx. So if you have a high SEER unit with Inverter which is $300 - $400 more than the standard unit with SEER 13, you still will be better off buying the expensive one, as after 6-8 months savings are all yours plus such units are lot more advanced with many other good features.

How does Inverter work?

INVERTER technology delivers precise cooling or heating power as per your choice.
It works faster and saves energy while ensuring uniform temperature.

In Depth details:

The inverter tag found on some air conditioners signifies the ability of the unit to continuously regulate its thermal power flow.

Traditional reverse-cycle air-conditioners use a heat pump that is either working at maximum capability or switched off, as the compressor's speed cannot be varied. In order to regulate temperature a thermistor is used to measure the ambient air temperature and switch the compressor on when the ambient air temperature is too far from the desired temperature.

Air-conditioners bearing the inverter tag use a variable-frequency drive to control the speed of the motor and thus the compressor. The variable-frequency drive uses a rectifier to convert the incoming AC current to DC and then uses pulse-width modulation of the DC current within an inverter to produce AC current of a desired frequency. The AC current is used to drive a brushless motor or an induction motor. As the speed of a brushless motor is synchronised to the frequency of the AC current, it is thus possible to build a compressor that can be run at different speeds. Similarly, the voltage and frequency can be varied as needed to efficiently run an induction motor at different speeds. A microcontroller can then sample the current ambient air temperature and adjust the speed of the compressor appropriately.

Eliminating stop-start cycles increases efficiency, extends the life of components, and helps eliminate sharp fluctuations in the load the air-conditioner places on the power supply.

The inverter principle has been applied to a wide range of household appliances including microwave ovens, washing machines, and so on.

If you want Ductless split air conditioner with install kit in your package deal
Usually brands like YMGI, Shicno, AirCon, Klimaire will have a package deal with installation kit included. But other brands will not come with install kit at all. In such cases we offer Copper Tubings, Service valve adpater, Condensor pads etc as optional products to buy. Your installer probably will already have them in his truck. If not you can buy them separately from us when buying brands like LG, Sanyo, Friedrich etc.

What is the best package deal available in the industry?
We have many good deals on our website. But to keep it simple we strongly recommend YMGI products as the best package deal out there in the Industry as of today. Here is the justification:

1. Below YMGI products have HIGH SEER.
2. Inverter technology
3. Low Ambience Operation.
4. They come with complete install kits.
5. They come with 5 year on compressor and 1 year on parts.
6. Usually these are $350 more than what they are priced now. So yes, they are at promotional offer now. If you compare it to any other brand with similar features and quality, this product is unbeatable.
7. They have thier own dehumidification mode. Other brands will have dehumidification only when your AC mode is on. But this one has a dehumidification mode of its own. Other features are Auto Restart, Sleep mode, Auto Swing Mode etc.

Is this something that I could install myself?   

YES and NO. Depends if you are good technically. You may or may not be able to do it. Some people do the handyman work on the indoor and outdoor unit and pay a small amount to an electrician to hard wire the outdoor unit and pay HVAC professional to vaccuum the lines before releasing the refrigerant. Some people choose to do it all by themselves with their past experience. Manufacturer recommends to have it installed by an HVAC professional. Any of your local professional air conditioning company should be able to install it easily for couple of hundred dollars. It is worth spending this money initially, this way you can have it installed professionally and enjoy the benefits of energy efficient mini split AC for year's to come. You may loose your warranty in some cases if you install this unit yourself. Some brands specifically require you to have an invoice from your HVAC installer to provide warranty help. So make sure to read warranty details before making your purchase.

But How easy are the units to install? Click Here To See An Easy Diagram Of How It Is Installed. To ensure an easy installation and fault free operation, we recommend the unit be installed by a professional HVAC installer.

How does it work?
For example the our mini splits use a high quality compressor and environmentally friendly green refrigerant to cool your home, and an innovative heat pump technology to keep your interiors warm in cold weather. The near silent operation is made possible by installing the compressor outside your home or offi ce. The air handler (indoor AC unit) in your dwelling is designed for ideal climate control, allowing you to cool or heat or dehumidify your interiors. You can conveniently adjust the fan speed, air flow direction, and oscillating louvers via remote control, or simply set the 24 hour timer for care free operation.


How much do they cost to run?

These energy efficient units provide localized cooling and heating for certain parts of your home or office, rather than cooling or heating other areas that are not occupied. This localized climate control enables you to reduce your energy bills. SEER ratings we have is the best standard in industry and mini split AC's are most energy efficient AC's you can ever find.


What is the operating range of the unit?

The unit can cool your room as low as 61°F and can heat your room as high 90°F.
It works efficiently when the outside tempearture is between 17°F and 109°F. This is standard with ALL brands.


Does mini split air conditioner have air purification capabilities? Air filters?

Yes. Most of them have Cold catalyst air filter. BUT LG IS THE BEST IN AIR PURIFICATION WITH IT'S PLASMA AIR PURIFICATION CAPABILITIES. SEE VIDEO BELOW


How noisy are the units?
WHISPER QUIET OPERATION is one of the many reasons why they are very popular. The indoor units are typically no noisier than a standard domestic fan, but as they do make some noise, consideration should be given to their location.

Why choose a mini split air conditioner? What are the advantages of ductless split AC?
=> Whsiper quiet operation.
=> Energy efficient, save money on electric bills!
=> Lot cheaper than central air conditioner.
=> Easy installation procedure.
=> Long term solution, good for new additions or when replacing existing air conditioner.

A mini split air conditioner is a cost effective choice to central air conditioning. However, it is typically more expensive than a wall or window air conditioner and you need a professional to install it. Since the compressor sits outside the split air conditioner is very quiet and efficient. Since mini splits have no ducts, they avoid the energy losses associated with the ductwork of central forced air systems. Duct losses can account for more than 30% of energy consumption for space conditioning, especially if the ducts are in an unconditioned space such as an attic.
Mini split air conditioners are also sometimes easier to install than other types of air conditioning systems. For example, the hook-up between the outdoor and indoor units generally requires only a three inch hole through a wall for the conduit. Also, most manufacturers of this type of system can provide a variety of lengths of connecting conduits. So, if necessary, you can locate the outdoor unit as far away as 50 feet from the indoor evaporator depending upon which mini split AC you buy. This makes it possible to cool rooms on the front side of a building or house with the compressor in a more advantageous or inconspicuous place on the outside of the building.In comparison to other add-on systems, split air conditioners offer more flexibility in interior design options. The indoor air handlers can be suspended from a ceiling, mounted flush into a drop ceiling, or hung on a wall. Floor-standing models are also available with LG. Most indoor units have profiles of about seven inches deep and usually come with sleek, high tech-looking jackets.

What is HSPF?
 
HSPF is the abbreviation for the Heating Seasonal Performance Factor. This factor rates the efficient operation of the heating portion of the heat pump. As the HSPF increases, the unit functions at a more efficient level. New units in the United States have HSPF ratings from 7.0 to 9.4.
Heating Seasonal Performance Factor-the total heating output in B.T.U's during it's normal usage period for heating divided by the total electrical energy input in watt hours during the same period  

 


What is a Heat Pump and How Does It Work?
A Heat Pump is an electrical device that takes heat from one place and transfers it to another. A heat pump transfers heat by circulating environmentally friendly refrigerant through a cycle of evaporation and condensation. A compressor then pumps the refrigerant between two heat exchange coils. In one coil the refrigerant is evaporated at low pressure and absorbs the heat from the surroundings. The refrigerant is then compressed on the way to the other coil where it condenses at high pressure. Now the heat pump releases the heat it absorbed earlier in the cycle. This process is reversible for the summer months and the heat pump acts as a cooling system.

 

 

Why Purchase A Heat Pump?
A heat pump is the most energy efficient way to heat and cool your home.
Heat pumps utilize the renewable heat sources in our surroundings in order to produce heat. The air, ground and water provide useful heat that is warmed up by the heat pump and delivered into the home. Sources such as the air, ground and water provide more heat than realized and the heat pump makes use of these sources that are continuously heated by the sun.
WIth British Columbia's mild weather conditioins, having a heat pump is the most logical, environmentally friendly and efficient source of in-home heating and cooling.

 

 


How Do You Measure A Heat Pump's Efficiency?
Heat pumps provide both cooling and heating, so the efficiency is measured in two different ways. When the heat pump cools, a SEER rating or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio measures the efficiency. The SEER rating is similar to gas mileage on a car. The higher the SEER rating the more efficient it is. Most of today's heat pumps have a SEER rating between 13.0 and 19.0 SEER. When the heat pump heats the home, a Heating Seasonal Performance Factor or HSPF rates the efficiency. The HSPF rating works the same way as the SEER rating does. The higher the HSPF, the more efficient the system is. Most new units today have a HSPF rating between 7.7 to 9.0 HSPF.

 

 
 
How does an air conditioner work?
An air conditioner seems as if it cools your home's air, but it actually makes your home less warm by removing heat from the indoor air and transferring that heat to the outdoor air. Heat is extracted from the home by passing indoor air across a refrigerant coil in the indoor unit. Refrigerant lines then carry the heat to the outdoor unit, where it is released into the outside air. The cooling cycle continues until the indoor temperature reaches the thermostat setting.  

 


What does SEER mean?
Season Energy Efficiency Ratio. It is a system for rating the efficiency of air conditioning equipment. SEER is calculated by dividing the cooling capacity in BTU/H, of a continuously operating air conditioner, by the electric power input, or watts, of power consumed. The higher the SEER, the less the unit should cost to operate.  

 

  

What is a heat pump and how does it work?
A heat pump combines cooling and heating in one unit. When cooling, the heat pumps operates like an air conditioner, removing the heat from indoors and transferring it outdoors. In the winter the heat pump takes heat from the outdoor air and transfers it inside your home. Even at freezing temperatures, there is heat in the outdoor air that can be used to warm a home with a heat pump. To raise the heat pump’s output on very cold days, electric resistance heaters are installed in the indoor section of the unit.   

 

 

What is R-410A?
R-410A is a hydro fluorocarbon (HFC), which is an environmentally friendly refrigerant that is considered by most to be the likely replacement for R-22.   

 

 What is Freon/R-22?
Hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), known as R-22 has been used as a refrigerant for more than 40 years  by HVAC manufacturers. While HCFC's are considered safe for the environment they do contain chlorine which is classed as an ozone-depleting chemical. The Clean Air Act set a target date of January 1, 2010 after which HVAC manufacturers can no longer build products that use R-22. Manufacturers of refrigerants will still be allowed to produce R-22 until January 1, 2020 after which time only recovery and recycling will provide R-22 for servicing older installed systems.   

 

Is The Refrigerant Used In A Heat Pump Safe For The Environment?
 

Both Carrier and Lennox heat pumps use envronmentally friendly R-410A refrigerant. This refrigerant does not deplete the ozone layer and is seen as the logical replacement for Freon R-22. Carrier beat the competition by six years and introduced Puron refrigerant or R-410A. Use of R-410A adds to the efficiency and realiability of a heat pump.

 

 

Are there any good reasons for replacing my existing system if it is still functioning?
You should consider replacing your system if it is old, and therefore less efficient or if it will probably need major repairs in the near future. New systems can be 60% more efficient than systems built only 10 years ago. Normal wear and tear can reduce the efficiency of your system. Another costly season of utility bills or paying for an expensive failed part can go a long way toward the cost of a new system.   

 

 

How do I know what to buy?
Make sure the unit that you select is the correct size for your needs. Systems that are too large or too small can be inefficient. We would be pleased to provide an energy analysis to show you the true operating cost. If someone in the family has allergies, an air filtration system should be part of the installation.  

 

 

What does it mean to zone my house and why should I zone my house?
A zoning system is designed for the many ways you use your home. Maybe you're caught up in family "thermostat wars"? Or perhaps you have unoccupied areas that do not need conditioning? A Lennox® zoning system allows you to divide your home into separate areas, giving you the comfort and control you've always wanted. The main benefits of residential zoning are: Comfort Zoning meets the specific temperature and airflow requirements of one area, without affecting other areas. Efficiency A properly designed zoning system can save you hundreds of dollars in energy costs each year. Control Zoning divides the home into different areas and comfort into different levels, giving you more choices and control than ever before. Quiet Performance When integrated with variable speed and/or two-stage HVAC systems, zoning allows your heating and cooling equipment to deliver peak performance and efficiency without continually operating at peak capacity. Lower speeds mean lower sound levels.  

 

 

What else might be needed if I replace my old system?
Beside the installation of new equipment, other items need to be inspected and possibly replaced, such as, thermostat, ducts, refrigerant piping, electrical service, wiring, condensate piping, insulation, flue piping and terminations, chimney liner, slabs, filter, registers, grills, drain pans and evaporator coil.    

 

 

Should I change my indoor coil?
When replacing your air conditioner or heat pump the answer is probably yes. If only the outdoor portion is changed the efficiency of the entire system could be lowered and consequently your savings could be less.

 

 How long should my unit last?
With proper maintenance, industry averages suggest that an air conditioner should last 12-15 years (high humidity/salt air applications may be less than that) and a gas furnace should last as long as 20 or 25 years.   

 

 

How often should I change or clean my filters?
Dirty filters should be replaced to prevent equipment from working harder, resulting in energy waste and possibly causing damage to your unit. Filters should generally be replaced every month when the system is running. Filters should be replaced with the same kind and size as your original filter. If the filter is not disposable, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning it.  

 

 

  

Should I cover my outdoor unit in the winter?
Covering the unit is not necessary. Air conditioners are built to withstand a wide range of climate changes. Rain even helps keep your unit clean. Since heat pumps run all year long, they should not be covered.

 

 

Should I set my thermostat fan to the "ON" position so the fan runs all the time? (not available with all brands and models)?
There are advantages. One is full-time filtering of the air in your home. Another is that you can maintain a more even temperature throughout your home.   

What causes indoor air pollution?
Many everyday household items contribute to poor indoor air quality. Compounds found in carpeting, furniture, upholstery and drapery fabric consistently emit gas or fumes. Other sources of pollutants can include, but are not limited to, cleaning agents, paints and personal care products. Also, newer homes that are tightly sealed for energy efficiency tend to limit air circulation, which can contribute to a buildup of contaminants. Likewise, things like weather stripping and storm doors keep stale air in and fresh air out. 

How can I improve my indoor air quality?
There are five basic strategies for outsmarting indoor air pollution: Identify the problem:
The first step toward better indoor air is to identify the types of pollutants present in the home. The best way to do this is to schedule an in-home air-quality test. Reduce concentrations of particles and bioaerosols
Routine cleaning and housekeeping helps reduce indoor air pollutants, but these simple fixes are not cure-alls. Some contaminants are so small that they may escape through the vacuum or never land on a surface. Lennox HEPA filtration systems, electronic air cleaners, high-efficiency air filters capture even the smallest of particles and bioaerosols. Reduce or eliminate chemical vapors and odors
Chemical vapors and odors can come from many different sources inside and outside the home. Once inside the home, these potentially toxic pollutants circulate through the ductwork, entering every room and living space. A Lennox air purification system removes and destroys 50% of household chemical vapors and odors within 24 hours. Ventilate Your Home
Today's modern homes are well-insulated and sealed to conserve energy, which means airborne pollutants have no way to escape. Lennox® ventilation systems help remove particles and bioaerosols by exchanging stale, recirculated indoor air with fresh, filtered outside air. 

Control Temperature and Humidity
Improper humidity levels and high temperatures can actually increase concentrations of particles and bioaerosols. Lennox SignatureStat™ and thermostats regulate moisture levels and temperatures to improve indoor air quality and enhance comfort.

GENERAL FAQ'S ON AMCOR MINI SPLIT AC'S - MAY VARY DEPENDING UPON MODEL OR UNIT YOU BUY

What are mini split air conditioners?
Like the central air conditioner units, mini split air conditioners have two main components: an outdoor compressor/condenser, and an indoor air-handling unit. A conduit, which houses the power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing, and a condensate drain, links the outdoor and indoor units through a small hole (3 inches usually) that is drilled in the wall of the building. The main advantages of split air conditioners are their small size and flexibility for zoning or heating and cooling individual rooms. Some split air conditioners can have as many as four indoor air handling units (for four zones or rooms) connected to one outdoor unit. The number depends on how much heating or cooling is required for the building or each zone (which is also affected by how well the building is insulated). Since each of the split air conditioner zones/rooms will have it's own thermostat, you only need to condition that area when someone is present, which saves energy and money. If you are in a office building at a higher floor, you can also install Outside Compressor using our Wall Bracket.

 

Is this something that I could install myself?   

YES and NO. Depends if you are good technically. You may or may not be able to do it. Some people do the handyman work on the indoor and outdoor unit and pay a small amount to an electrician to hard wire the outdoor unit and pay HVAC professional to vaccuum the lines before releasing the refrigerant.

Any of your local professional air conditioning company should be able to install it easily for couple of hundred dollars. It is worth spending this money initially, this way you can have it installed professionally and enjoy the benefits of energy efficient mini split AC for year's to come. And once installed our NO HASSLE warranty (on AmcorAire Duo Only) is the most convinient it can get. FREE PARTS AND LABOR AND SERVICE for first year. You may or may not loose your warranty if you install thi unit yourself. Some brands specifically require you to have an invoice from your HVAC installer to provide warranty help. So make sure to read warranty details before making your purchase.

 

But How easy are Amcoraire units to install? Click Here To See An Easy Diagram Of How It Is Installed. To ensure an easy installation and fault free operation, we recommend the unit be installed by a professional HVAC installer.

 

How noisy are Amcoraire units?
WHISPER QUIET OPERATION is one of the many reasons why they are very popular. The indoor units are typically no noisier than a standard domestic fan, but as they do make some noise, consideration should be given to their location.

 

How does it work?
For example the Amcoraire DUO uses a high quality compressor and environmentally friendly “green” refrigerant to cool your home, and an innovative heat pump technology to keep your interiors warm in cold weather. The near silent operation is made possible by installing the compressor outside your home or offi ce. The air handler (indoor AC unit) in your dwelling is designed for ideal climate control, allowing you to cool or heat or dehumidify your interiors. You can conveniently adjust the fan speed, air flow direction, and oscillating louvers via remote control, or simply set the 24 hour timer for care free operation.

 

How will Amcoraire look in my home or office?
The Amcoraire DUO is an amenity that has been designed to blend harmoniously with your home and offi ce interiors. These high performance, high quality appliances are offered in three beautiful designs. Unlike window mounted air conditioners of yesterday, the Amcoraire DUO is mounted high up on walls, not in windows, preserving your outdoor views for all to enjoy. Click Here to see some examples

 

How much do they cost to run?
These energy efficient units provide localized cooling and heating for certain parts of your home or office, rather than cooling or heating other areas that are not occupied. This localized climate control enables you to reduce your energy bills. SEER ratings we have is the best standard in industry and mini split AC's are most energy efficient AC's you can ever find.

 

Can I put the unit in a Basement, Attic, Garage, Office building?
Not recommended but possible. The Amcoraire DUO can be easily installed anywhere though, depending upon different situations. In all cases, the drain pipe is pitched to the outside. In some cases, a condensate pump may be required.

 

Instead of installing compressor on the ground or backyard, can I install the compressor on the roof? Can the connection lines go up to the roof, instead going down?
Absolutely Yes. You can install the compressor on the roof or on the ground, would not make any difference. This is why mini splits are so convinient for installations. Check the installation diagram below.

 

What is the operating range of Amcoraire unit?
The unit is rated to control indoor temperature between 62-90°F.

 

What happens if the unit requires servicing after Amcoraire's ONE year NO HASSLE warranty period?
You still have FIVE year compressor Warranty and 3 Years on ALL PARTS. All Amcoraire air DUO conditioning units can be serviced and repaired by any professional air conditioning company. Most likely you won't need any servicing if properly installed. We have one of the best "Toshiba Compressor" in our mini splits compared to any "B" grade compressors which some company's sell.

 

 

If I decide to install it myself, will I need vacuums to charge up the lines. I assume that the lines need to be charged up with refrigerant and that it has to be setup by a qualified air conditioning technician correct? 

YES. YOU WILL NEED A SET OF GAUGES FOR R410A AND A VACUUM OR JUST CONTACT A HVAC QUALIFIED SERVICE TECH AND PAY BETWEEN $150-$200 FOR A FINAL SET-UP AFTER YOU INSTALL THE UNIT. 

 

Do I have to use a Vaccuum?

Vacuuming the lines is essential under any weather conditions. The actual procedure is dehydrating the lines with a vacuum pump. You are taking all the air and moisture out of the lines. There is moisture in any air at any given time, and it will get into any lines that were open. If you don't do this, the system may have a complete failure within weeks of operation.

 

If I wanted to run the Amcoraire AC on cooling mode if outdoor unit is below 60 deg outside, how can I do it without freezing the unit?

Usually people use heat mode if the outdoor temerature is below 60 deg, This is only for people who want the cool mode ON even below 60 deg to keep some of their equipment cold in the winter time.

You can add a low Ambience features to the outdoor unit so it does not freeze on cooling mode below 60 deg. Remember the outdoor unit does not freeze on heating mode when the temp outside is below 60 deg.

There are generic kits that can be picked up at local HVAC suppliers that will work. They really need to be installed by qualified HVAC technicians. Supco is one brand of these types of units.

It is installed inside the outdoor unit. It is a circuit board about the
size of a cigarette pack and requires a little creativity to find a spot it
will fit in. It then needs to be wired into the existing electronics of the
unit. They vary from $125-$250 (could be bit higher depending upon where you buy it from)

 

Can the indoor unit be installed upside down?                 No.

What is the issue in installing it upside down?               

Unit would not drain properly and water would flow into the unit shorting out controls.

 

 

ABOUT THE BRAND, AMCOR!

Amcor, a leading global technology brand, has been manufacturing interior air treatment appliances for over fifty years. The Amcoraire DUO ductless mini split system is an affordable air treatment amenity that offers energy efficient cooling and heating in a near silent, beautiful wall mounted design. Developed in response to consumer demand for an alternative to costly central air conditioning installation, the Amcoraire DUO system is a great solution for homes and offi ce environments that do not have the space to run central air ductwork, or require a more affordable, localized cooling and heating system.

 

Why choose a mini split air conditioner?
A mini split air conditioner is a cost effective choice to central air conditioning. However, it is typically more expensive than a wall or window air conditioner and you need a professional to install it. Since the compressor sits outside the split air conditioner is very quiet and efficient. Since mini splits have no ducts, they avoid the energy losses associated with the ductwork of central forced air systems. Duct losses can account for more than 30% of energy consumption for space conditioning, especially if the ducts are in an unconditioned space such as an attic.


Mini split air conditioners are also sometimes easier to install than other types of air conditioning systems. For example, the hook-up between the outdoor and indoor units generally requires only a three inch hole through a wall for the conduit. Also, most manufacturers of this type of system can provide a variety of lengths of connecting conduits. So, if necessary, you can locate the outdoor unit as far away as 50 feet from the indoor evaporator. This makes it possible to cool rooms on the front side of a building or house with the compressor in a more advantageous or inconspicuous place on the outside of the building.

In comparison to other add-on systems, split air conditioners offer more flexibility in interior design options. The indoor air handlers can be suspended from a ceiling, mounted flush into a drop ceiling, or hung on a wall. Floor-standing models are also available. Most indoor units have profiles of about seven inches deep and usually come with sleek, high tech-looking jackets.

 

 

Is this something that I could install myself?
YES AND NO. If you are not sure what you are doing, you will end up installing it incorrectly and thereby will loose the warranty.


Can this be set like the regular AC units where they just come on when they are needed and go off once it reaches the desired cool/heat temperature? Or are the always running?
THERMOSTAT IS JUST LIKE THE CONVENTIONAL WALL THERMOSTAT THAT TURNS ON FOR COOLING AND HEATING. So once you set the temperature for the room for example 70 deg in AC mode, the compressor outside will run and then will shut off once the room is 70 deg, but the indoor unit will keep running to circulate and clean the air. Once the temp of the room jumps up to 75 deg or example, the compressor outside will turn on again and bring the temp in the room down to 70 deg.

The only time it will turn off is if you shut it off Or have it set on a timer setting.

 


Is Amcoraire outside unit a metal or a plastic case?
Metal case as plastic vibrates and make a buzz. It is made of Galvanized enamel coated metal.

ALL SPLIT CONDENSERS ARE 100% WEATHERPROOF.
RAIN, SUN AND SNOW WON'T BOTHER.

SHOULD THE CONDENSER BE ON A FLAT SURFACE OUTSIDE? IS IT FINE EVEN IF IT IS ON THE GRASS?
IT IS ALWAYS RECOMMENDED FOR THE CONDENSER TO BE ON A PATIO BLOCK OR BRICK TO RAISE IT A FEW INCHES BUT IT IS WATERPROOF.

The distance between my indoor and the outdoor unit will be more than 25 ft. Amcoraire package provides 25 ft:-
1. Is it ok to extend it upto 90 ft? YES YOU CAN. Few models can handle upto 90 ft. Please call before placing order to check.
2. What kind of pipe extentions or what quality do I need? Either solder silver the new copper lines on or flair with a coupling.
3. Where will I get this quality from? home depot? YES, Home depot or any plumbing supply store.

 

What is the copper tubing diameters for Amcoraire units?

1/4 and 1/2  TUBING FOR 9K & 12K UNITS 

3/8 and  5/8   TUBING FOR 18K & 24K UNITS

I understand indoor unit gets its power from outdoor unit and outdoor unit is the one that is hard wired. But if I have to go as far as 45 ft, I know I could buy the additional copper tubing from home depo to connect it to existing 25 ft, but how will I extend the electrical connection between the indoor and outdoor unit?

Indoor and outdoor units are connected through the lineset. This is how the indoor unit gets its power from outdoor unit. WE SUPPLY 25 FEET WE ADVISE TO EXTEND LINESET UP TO 32 FEET ON 9K & 12K UNITS & 50 FEET ON 18K & 24K UNITS ALL SUPPLIES CAN BE PURCHASED AFTER MARKET.


Where on the wall should I install the indoor unit and How high?
4" FROM THE TOP OF THE AIR HANDLER INSIDE AND CEILING IS REQUIRED.

What if I want the indoor unit installed at a 6 ft high?
IF YOU HAVE NO CHOICE AND WANT TO MOUNT IT LOWER EFFICINECY WILL BE LOW AND MAY NOT COOL WELL.
COLD AIR FALLS AND WARM AIR RISES. So higher the indoor unit, better it will cool the room.

Can I install indoor unit 2 ft above the floor?
Not recommended but may work ok though. FLOOR MOUNT IS NOT RECOMMENDED IN MINI SPLITS. You would be better off buying a PTAC instead, where you can install them at a floor level like the one's in Motels/Hotels.

 

I don't want to install the outdoor unit in my backyard or on my roof. What if I want the outdoor unit installed on the outside wall instead?
Wall bracket for condenser is an option and in stock only for $45 plus $15 shipping. Great value.

Does Amcoraire mini split has air purification capabilities? Air filters?
Yes. Cold catalyst air filter.

Are there controls on the indoor unit itself or only a remote control?
ON THE REMOTE ONLY.

 

Can the outdoor unit be in the straight line with indoor unit, or it always should be above or below the indoor unit level?
Straight betwen condenser and air handler line is ok .

 

I can't directly run the expel tube down to a drain. I may have to actually pump it back up 10 feet to the roof? What are the options to the direct gravity method for moisture expel?
You can add more drain pipe to reach the ground or you can put a
condensate pump and pump it anywhere you want to.

What size breaker and gauge wire would you suggest for Amcoraire units?

The 24,000 btu unit is rated for a 20 amp breaker, which requires 12 gauge wire at 25’ (distance between outdoor unit and the breaker)

The 18,000 btu unit is rated for a 15 amp breaker, which requires 14 gauge wire at 25’ (distance between outdoor unit and the breaker)

The 12,000 btu unit is rated for a 20 amp breaker, which requires 12 gauge wire at 25’ (distance between outdoor unit and the breaker)

The 9,000 btu unit is rated for a 15 amp breaker, which requires 14 gauge wire at 25’ (distance between outdoor unit and the breaker)



Is there only one copper tube or two?
2 copper lines.

Is the drain line a flexible tube or solid pvc?
It is Flexible

Distance from inside air handler to consenser is 30'. How would I add to the standard 25' length that is included? Can I get a 5' length with flared ends and a coupling?
Yes you can buy the extra flared and coupling from any plumbing store or home depot.

How would you suggest I make 90 degree turns in copper tube?
You can do it slowly with your two hands and a large radius to make the 90.

Does Power only run to Main Compresssor Unit and the Fan piggy Backs off of the main Compressor? Or does power need to be run to both Units Individualy?
POWER ONLY TO CONDENSER OUTSIDE UNIT THAN IT FEEDS TO THE
INSIDE UNIT.

Regarding the Breaker. Should it be 20 AMPS or 15 AMPS for Amcoraire units?

The 24,000 btu unit is rated for a 20 amp breaker, which requires 12 gauge wire at 25’ (distance between outdoor unit and the breaker)

The 18,000 btu unit is rated for a 15 amp breaker, which requires 14 gauge wire at 25’ (distance between outdoor unit and the breaker)

The 12,000 btu unit is rated for a 20 amp breaker, which requires 12 gauge wire at 25’ (distance between outdoor unit and the breaker)

The 9,000 btu unit is rated for a 15 amp breaker, which requires 14 gauge wire at 25’ (distance between outdoor unit and the breaker)


 

Do Amcoraire mini-split units have the electric heat strips or do they have heat pumps.

They are Heat pumps. No heat strip. But unlike many other heat pumps, they run down to 17 deg F. If you need the one's with heat strips, you can look at other options on our main page.

 

I will be running the pipes high 30 feet. Is that much elevation ok?
20 FEET MAX IS OK. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO GO 25' UP AS WELL BUT IT MAYBE A PROBLEM.

 

 

What is HSPF?
 
HSPF is the abbreviation for the Heating Seasonal Performance Factor. This factor rates the efficient operation of the heating portion of the heat pump. As the HSPF increases, the unit functions at a more efficient level. New units in the United States have HSPF ratings from 7.0 to 9.4.
Heating Seasonal Performance Factor-the total heating output in B.T.U's during it's normal usage period for heating divided by the total electrical energy input in watt hours during the same period
 

What is a Heat Pump and How Does It Work?
A Heat Pump is an electrical device that takes heat from one place and transfers it to another. A heat pump transfers heat by circulating environmentally friendly refrigerant through a cycle of evaporation and condensation. A compressor then pumps the refrigerant between two heat exchange coils. In one coil the refrigerant is evaporated at low pressure and absorbs the heat from the surroundings. The refrigerant is then compressed on the way to the other coil where it condenses at high pressure. Now the heat pump releases the heat it absorbed earlier in the cycle. This process is reversible for the summer months and the heat pump acts as a cooling system.

 

Why Purchase A Heat Pump?
A heat pump is the most energy efficient way to heat and cool your home.
Heat pumps utilize the renewable heat sources in our surroundings in order to produce heat. The air, ground and water provide useful heat that is warmed up by the heat pump and delivered into the home. Sources such as the air, ground and water provide more heat than realized and the heat pump makes use of these sources that are continuously heated by the sun.
WIth British Columbia's mild weather conditioins, having a heat pump is the most logical, environmentally friendly and efficient source of in-home heating and cooling.

 


How Do You Measure A Heat Pump's Efficiency?
Heat pumps provide both cooling and heating, so the efficiency is measured in two different ways. When the heat pump cools, a SEER rating or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio measures the efficiency. The SEER rating is similar to gas mileage on a car. The higher the SEER rating the more efficient it is. Most of today's heat pumps have a SEER rating between 13.0 and 19.0 SEER. When the heat pump heats the home, a Heating Seasonal Performance Factor or HSPF rates the efficiency. The HSPF rating works the same way as the SEER rating does. The higher the HSPF, the more efficient the system is. Most new units today have a HSPF rating between 7.7 to 9.0 HSPF.

 
Is The Refrigerant Used In A Heat Pump Safe For The Environment?
 

Both Carrier and Lennox heat pumps use envronmentally friendly R-410A refrigerant. This refrigerant does not deplete the ozone layer and is seen as the logical replacement for Freon R-22. Carrier beat the competition by six years and introduced Puron refrigerant or R-410A. Use of R-410A adds to the efficiency and realiability of a heat pump.

 

How does an air conditioner work?
An air conditioner seems as if it cools your home's air, but it actually makes your home less warm by removing heat from the indoor air and transferring that heat to the outdoor air.
 
Heat is extracted from the home by passing indoor air across a refrigerant coil in the indoor unit. Refrigerant lines then carry the heat to the outdoor unit, where it is released into the outside air. The cooling cycle continues until the indoor temperature reaches the thermostat setting.
 
 

What does SEER mean?
Season Energy Efficiency Ratio. It is a system for rating the efficiency of air conditioning equipment. SEER is calculated by dividing the cooling capacity in BTU/H, of a continuously operating air conditioner, by the electric power input, or watts, of power consumed. The higher the SEER, the less the unit should cost to operate.

What is a heat pump and how does it work?
A heat pump combines cooling and heating in one unit. When cooling, the heat pumps operates like an air conditioner, removing the heat from indoors and transferring it outdoors. In the winter the heat pump takes heat from the outdoor air and transfers it inside your home. Even at freezing temperatures, there is heat in the outdoor air that can be used to warm a home with a heat pump. To raise the heat pump’s output on very cold days, electric resistance heaters are installed in the indoor section of the unit.
 
 
What is R-410A?
R-410A is a hydro fluorocarbon (HFC), which is an environmentally friendly refrigerant that is considered by most to be the likely replacement for R-22.
 
 
What is Freon/R-22?
Hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), known as R-22 has been used as a refrigerant for more than 40 years  by HVAC manufacturers. While HCFC's are considered safe for the environment they do contain chlorine which is classed as an ozone-depleting chemical. The Clean Air Act set a target date of January 1, 2010 after which HVAC manufacturers can no longer build products that use R-22. Manufacturers of refrigerants will still be allowed to produce R-22 until January 1, 2020 after which time only recovery and recycling will provide R-22 for servicing older installed systems.
 
 
 
Are there any good reasons for replacing my existing system if it is still functioning?
You should consider replacing your system if it is old, and therefore less efficient or if it will probably need major repairs in the near future. New systems can be 60% more efficient than systems built only 10 years ago. Normal wear and tear can reduce the efficiency of your system. Another costly season of utility bills or paying for an expensive failed part can go a long way toward the cost of a new system.
 
 
 
How do I know what to buy?
Make sure the unit that you select is the correct size for your needs. Systems that are too large or too small can be inefficient. We would be pleased to provide an energy analysis to show you the true operating cost. If someone in the family has allergies, an air filtration system should be part of the installation.
 
 
 
What does it mean to zone my house and why should I zone my house?
A zoning system is designed for the many ways you use your home. Maybe you're caught up in family "thermostat wars"? Or perhaps you have unoccupied areas that do not need conditioning? A Lennox® zoning system allows you to divide your home into separate areas, giving you the comfort and control you've always wanted.
 
The main benefits of residential zoning are:
 
Comfort
 
Zoning meets the specific temperature and airflow requirements of one area, without affecting other areas.
 
Efficiency
 
A properly designed zoning system can save you hundreds of dollars in energy costs each year.
 
Control
 
Zoning divides the home into different areas and comfort into different levels, giving you more choices and control than ever before.
 
Quiet Performance
 
When integrated with variable speed and/or two-stage HVAC systems, zoning allows your heating and cooling equipment to deliver peak performance and efficiency without continually operating at peak capacity. Lower speeds mean lower sound levels.
 
 
What else might be needed if I replace my old system?
Beside the installation of new equipment, other items need to be inspected and possibly replaced, such as, thermostat, ducts, refrigerant piping, electrical service, wiring, condensate piping, insulation, flue piping and terminations, chimney liner, slabs, filter, registers, grills, drain pans and evaporator coil.
 
 
 
Should I change my indoor coil?
When replacing your air conditioner or heat pump the answer is probably yes. If only the outdoor portion is changed the efficiency of the entire system could be lowered and consequently your savings could be less.

 

 
How long should my unit last?
With proper maintenance, industry averages suggest that an air conditioner should last 12-15 years (high humidity/salt air applications may be less than that) and a gas furnace should last as long as 20 or 25 years.
 
 
How often should I change or clean my filters?
Dirty filters should be replaced to prevent equipment from working harder, resulting in energy waste and possibly causing damage to your unit. Filters should generally be replaced every month when the system is running. Filters should be replaced with the same kind and size as your original filter. If the filter is not disposable, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning it.
 
 Should I cover my outdoor unit in the winter?
 Covering the unit is not necessary. Air conditioners are built to withstand a wide range of climate changes. Rain even helps keep your unit clean. Since heat pumps run all year long, they should not be covered.

 

Should I set my thermostat fan to the "ON" position so the fan runs all the time?
There are advantages. One is full-time filtering of the air in your home. Another is that you can maintain a more even temperature throughout your home.
 
 
What causes indoor air pollution?
Many everyday household items contribute to poor indoor air quality. Compounds found in carpeting, furniture, upholstery and drapery fabric consistently emit gas or fumes. Other sources of pollutants can include, but are not limited to, cleaning agents, paints and personal care products.
 
Also, newer homes that are tightly sealed for energy efficiency tend to limit air circulation, which can contribute to a buildup of contaminants. Likewise, things like weather stripping and storm doors keep stale air in and fresh air out.
 
How can I improve my indoor air quality?
There are five basic strategies for outsmarting indoor air pollution:
 
Identify the problem:
The first step toward better indoor air is to identify the types of pollutants present in the home. The best way to do this is to schedule an in-home air-quality test.
 
Reduce concentrations of particles and bioaerosols
Routine cleaning and housekeeping helps reduce indoor air pollutants, but these simple fixes are not cure-alls. Some contaminants are so small that they may escape through the vacuum or never land on a surface. Lennox HEPA filtration systems, electronic air cleaners, high-efficiency air filters capture even the smallest of particles and bioaerosols.
 
Reduce or eliminate chemical vapors and odors
Chemical vapors and odors can come from many different sources inside and outside the home. Once inside the home, these potentially toxic pollutants circulate through the ductwork, entering every room and living space. A Lennox air purification system removes and destroys 50% of household chemical vapors and odors within 24 hours.
 
Ventilate Your Home
Today's modern homes are well-insulated and sealed to conserve energy, which means airborne pollutants have no way to escape. Lennox® ventilation systems help remove particles and bioaerosols by exchanging stale, recirculated indoor air with fresh, filtered outside air.
 
Control Temperature and Humidity
Improper humidity levels and high temperatures can actually increase concentrations of particles and bioaerosols. Lennox SignatureStat™ and thermostats regulate moisture levels and temperatures to improve indoor air quality and enhance comfort.
