Mini-split air conditioning systems operate on a simple concept: indoor units connected to outdoor condensing units with refrigerant line-sets. This creates some key advantages over traditional air conditioning systems. With mini-splits there is easy temperature control among zones, no ductwork, and no noisy units blocking windows.
The fact that indoor mini-split units receive their electrical power directly from the outdoor unit can be easy to overlook. But, when it comes to designing a room, this may be the biggest plus of installing a mini-split. Outdoor units usually require a dedicated circuit for power. Wiring will run, alongside the line-set, to each indoor unit. This means no plugs or wires will be visible in the living space.
SupplyHouse.com carries mini-split systems from all the top manufactures: Sanyo, LG, Fujitsu, and Panasonic.

Easier Install w/ Flared Line Sets
A line set is a conduit that consists of a liquid line and a suction line, used to connect the indoor and outdoor units of a mini-split air conditioner.
Until the system is fully installed and operating, the refrigerant will be contained in the outdoor unit. Once the system is running, the refrigerant will flow through, making it critical to have secure flared connections. Flared connections are made with a special tool and must be extremely accurate to prevent leaking. If you do not have the flaring tool, or would like to save a step in making the connections, you can get flared refrigerant line sets, which are flared during production by the manufacturer.
Both standard and flared refrigerant line sets of various lengths are at www.supplyhouse.com. Visit SupplyHouse to find all the components you need for your mini-split air conditioning system.
