Experience precise and efficient cooling throughout your Orangevale home with the flexibility of a mini-split AC system from Royalty Heating & Air. Unlike traditional central air conditioning that relies on a network of ducts to distribute cooled air, mini-split systems provide cooling directly to specific areas or rooms. This ductless approach offers distinct advantages for many homeowners, whether you're cooling a new addition, a garage conversion, or simply seeking individual temperature control in different parts of your house.
Mini-split AC systems consist of two main components: an outdoor compressor/condenser unit and one or more indoor air-handling units. These units are connected by a small conduit that houses refrigerant lines, power cables, and condensate drain line, requiring only a small opening in the wall. This design bypasses the need for extensive ductwork, making installation less disruptive and often more straightforward than adding or extending duct systems.
The cooling process in a mini-split system is similar to that of a central AC unit but operates on a smaller, zoned scale. The outdoor unit compresses a refrigerant, turning it into a high-pressure, high-temperature gas. This gas travels through the conduit to the indoor unit. Inside the indoor unit, the refrigerant passes through an expansion valve, which lowers its pressure and temperature, turning it into a cold liquid.
A fan in the indoor unit draws warm air from the room across a coil containing this cold liquid refrigerant. As the warm air passes over the coil, the heat is absorbed by the refrigerant, cooling the air. This cooled air is then blown back into the room by the fan. The refrigerant, now warmer, returns to the outdoor unit through the conduit, where the absorbed heat is released into the outside air as the refrigerant turns back into a gas and the cycle repeats. This efficient transfer of heat allows mini-split systems to provide targeted cooling directly where you need it most in your Orangevale home.
