GLOSSARY
AIR CONDITIONER: A mechanical device used to control temperature, humidity, cleanliness, and movement of air in a confined space.
Btu/h (British Thermal Units per Hour): A term that is used to measure cooling or heating capacity.
CAPACITY or LOAD: A refrigeration rating system usually measured in BTUs.
COMPRESSOR: A pump found in a refrigeration or air-conditioning system, which pumps refrigerant through pipes between an outdoor and an indoor unit using pressure.
HEAT PUMP: An air-conditioning system that is capable of reversing the direction of refrigerant flow to provide either cooling or heating to the indoor space.
HSPF (Heating Season Performance Factor): A rating of the seasonal efficiency of a heat pump unit when operating in the heating mode.
HVAC: A term which stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning.
INDOOR UNIT: The air-handler of an air-conditioning system, which contains a heat exchange coil, filters and fan. Also, provides conditioned air into the space.
INVERTER TECHNOLOGY: Mitsubishi Electric's MSY, MSZ and MXZ and all P-Series outdoor units use INVERTER-driven compressor technology (Variable Frequency Drive) to provide exceptional indoor, high-speed cooling and heating. By responding to indoor and outdoor temperature changes, these systems reduce power consumption by varying the compressor speed for extra energy savings. The system operates only at the levels needed to maintain a constant and comfortable indoor environment. Our CITY MULTI product line also incorporates INVERTER technology.
MICROPROCESSOR: An electrical component consisting of integrated circuits, which may accept, store, control, and output information.
OUTDOOR UNIT:A component of an air-conditioning system which contains compressor, propeller fan, circuit board, and heat exchange coil. It pumps refrigerant to/from indoor unit.
REFRIGERANT: A gas/liquid substance used to provide cooling by direct absorption of heat.
REFRIGERANT LINES: Copper tubing through which refrigerant flows to and from indoor and outdoor units.
SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio): A rating of the seasonal efficiency of air-conditioning or heating units in cooling mode.
SPLIT-DUCTLESS SYSTEM: A system comprised of a remote outdoor condensing unit connected by refrigerant pipes to a matching. non-ducted indoor air-handler, and a remote controller. Special cases for introducing fresh air may call for limited ducting to air-handler from outside.Hampstead, NC - Wilmington, NC - Leland, NC - Wrightsville Beach, NC Surf City, NC - Topsail, NC - Sneads Ferry, NC - Holly Ridge, NC

- Space saving designs, no need to lose the use of a window as mini split air handlers mount directly onto a wall in your home.
- Highly efficient when compared to conventional split heat pump systems which have minimum (standard) SEER rating of 13.
- Mini split outdoor condensing units are not as easily noticeable as standard outdoor condensing units, as their size is minimal.
- You will avoid duct work installation, maintenance, cutting in new registers, etc.
- Versatility when adding a mini split to a sun room, FROG, finished garage, or even as supplement heating/cooling for a specific area.
- Ductless mini split units operate quietly.
There are many brands of mini splits on the market today, as there are many conventional heat pump brands. Our technicians are trained to repair/maintain all brands of mini splits. Below you will find two brands of mini splits that are preferred by All Comfort Heating and Cooling when deciding on a new purchase.
