FAQs

What is the difference between cool and dry mode on mini split? ›

In summary, dry mode lowers the fan speed to remove humidity instead. In moderate climates with low humidity, it can be an effective alternative to cooling mode. However, it's not a replacement for a dehumidifier and is not effective in very hot, muggy climates.

Using dry mode on your mini split is a great way to reduce the humidity of a room, but you should be careful not to overdo it. Not only does dry mode require more energy, but if you remove too much humidity, the air can become too dry, making it uncomfortable for the occupants.

The remote will show whether the unit is in Cool, Heat, Fan, or Dry/Dehumidify mode by displaying a symbol (icon) at the top of the remote display. Cool Mode: Snowflake symbol. Heat Mode: Sun symbol. Fan Mode: Fan symbol (circle with fan blades inside it) Dry/Dehumidification: Rain Drop symbol.

Mini split auto mode will allow your system to change fan speed based on the weather and your temperature setting. So, be sure to use auto mode, it's the best setting for mini split efficiency!

Some homeowners try to conserve energy by turning their systems off when they aren't at home, but doing so isn't necessary when you have a mini split. Mini split systems actually work best when they run continuously. By allowing your mini split to run 24/7, it will use less energy and keep temperatures more consistent.

Resetting your mini-split can often resolve minor issues. First, turn off the unit and unplug it from the power source. Wait for about 15 minutes, then plug it back in and turn it on.

The first thing you should do if your mini-split isn't powering on is to ensure the unit is plugged in. Check your circuit breaker to ensure it wasn't tripped due to an electrical surge. If everything seems like it should be fine, you may need to call a professional repair service or replace the unit altogether.

There is not one ideal temperature to set your ductless heat pump at. We advise home owners to start at the same temperature they set their baseboards at. e.g. if you set your baseboards to 18 then start by setting your heat pump to 18 degrees as well.

A mini split can be left running 24/7 because the systems are designed specifically for non-stop use.

Mid-level mini splits run at 100 percent efficiency down to 20°F and typically require a base pan heater. These work well for heating moderate to cold climates. Economy-level mini splits run at 100 percent efficiency down to 30°F and may shut off at temperatures below 20°F.

Why wont my mini-split turn on with the remote? ›

If you use a remote control to turn your ductless split on and off, make sure that the remote's batteries have enough juice in them. If not, your system won't be able to power on. In the case that you have a Smart controller, you should also check to make sure your home's WiFi is working.

Standard Mini Split Controls

You're able to manually control the unit by turning it on or off, setting the thermostat (to cool or heat), and controlling the airspeed and vane direction. Some models may even feature timers and sensors that will promote better comfort and convenience.

A mini split can be left running 24/7 because the systems are designed specifically for non-stop use. In fact, keeping your mini split system running actually makes it more energy efficient and increases its ability to regulate temperatures with its internal temperature settings.

To use a ductless mini-split system for heating, you must first set the unit's mode switch on “heat” and turn off the A/C function so you can control both functions independently of each other. This is because ductless mini-splits that are set to “heat” have an HC heat pump coil.
