Frequently Asked Questions
The questions we get most. If yours isn’t here, call or text us at (337) 362-2187.
Do mini splits heat and cool?
Yes. Every Ozone Spirit system we carry is a heat pump, providing both air conditioning in summer and heat in winter from the same equipment. For Acadiana winters, a mini split will carry a room on its own without backup heat.
What is SEER2?
SEER2 is the current federal standard for rating cooling efficiency. It replaced the older SEER rating in 2023, and it tests equipment against more realistic airflow conditions.
Because the test is stricter, the same equipment scores roughly 4–5% lower under SEER2 than it did under SEER. Every system we stock is a high-efficiency inverter unit, rated meaningfully higher than minimum-efficiency central systems. Ask us for the current SEER2 rating on the model you’re picking up.
Are your mini splits 110V or 220V?
The 12K system is available in 110V or 220V. The 18K, 24K and 36K systems are 220V. If you’re not sure what’s available where the unit will go, text us a photo of your electrical panel and we’ll tell you.
Are mini splits hard to install?
They’re among the more approachable HVAC installations — about a 3-inch wall penetration, a lineset connection at each end, an evacuation, and power. Our Support Center has a full step-by-step installation video and written overview.
That said, it does require vacuum equipment and care at the flare connections. If you’d rather have it done, any licensed HVAC technician can install it.
What warranty comes with Ozone Spirit?
Every system we sell carries an 8-year compressor warranty and a 1-year parts warranty.
Can multiple heads connect to one condenser?
No. Our systems are single-zone — one condenser paired to one indoor head. To condition several rooms you’d use a separate system in each, which also gives every room its own independent temperature control.
What comes with the system?
All systems include: the air handler, condenser, 10′ communication cable, 10′ copper lineset, remote, UV tape, perforation sealant and wall cap.
Need a longer run? We stock 25′ lineset kits, along with condenser brackets and 3″ lineset cover kits.
Are the systems pre-charged?
Yes — the condensing unit is pre-charged with R32 refrigerant. The linesets are pre-flared with brass nuts ready to be torqued down, so you’ll need to pull a vacuum on the lineset to remove moisture before releasing the pre-charged refrigerant into the system.
What size mini split do I need?
| System | Recommended coverage | Voltage |
|---|---|---|
| 12K Inverter | Up to 600 sq. ft.* | 110V or 220V |
| 18K Inverter | Up to 800 sq. ft.* | 220V |
| 24K Inverter | Up to 1,200 sq. ft.* | 220V |
| 36K Inverter | Up to 1,800 sq. ft.* | 220V |
* These are starting points and assume adequate insulation and conventional ceiling heights. Sun exposure, uninsulated garage doors and heat-producing appliances all affect sizing. Text us your details and we’ll help you land on the right one.
