Upgrade to Energy-Efficient HVAC System: Replace Window ACs with Mini Split Heat Pump/AC and Install Universal System for Better Cooling and Heating Efficiency

The 2 window AC’s are no longer needed in the guest house! The new 12,000 BTU (1 Ton) Mini split heat pump/AC takes care of the cooling and heating needs, Located in the kitchen area with a vaulted ceiling the **1 bedroom gets added air flow from the wall fan I added above the refrigerator**. works well! Update The fan is no longer needed as the wall section has been removed during the floor repairs.

Next big job will be the main house central HVAC which will not be a packaged unit I am installing a universal system. last year I added a 1 ton 19 SEER mini split to the den last year and it’s great! However the other 6 rooms are heated and cooled by a 3 ton “packaged” unit installed in 2005 rated at 12 SEER with gas (propane) furnace.

The new system will be a heat pump rated up to 20 SEER also heats below 0 without electric backup. also it’s switchable from 2 to 3 tons cooling, I am installing the air handler in the home and doing away with some big duct work that is in the crawlspace including removing the 3 ducts that run to the den as they are no longer needed with the 1 ton mini split.

That said I have 2 new mini split units and one more system to install.
