John ,
A few pages back you recommended I install 44,400 btu mini split ac for my flower room (17'x11'x9' sealed, non air cooled
Gavita 750 lights,co2). Again thanks for the advice.
I have an HVAC guy coming out in a couple weeks to do the install. He is recommending a Conventional split system and ducting in the supply and return something similar to excel air only (Goodman). This is fine with me but I'm wondering about a couple things:
- He says 3 ton will cool the room with this unit.And it will pressurize the room, but in a mini split we already decided I need closer to 4 ton?Excel Airs chart says a 2.5 ton will do it so I am inclined to think the Goodman 3 ton will . Is there a difference between how well a mini split cools vs conventional?
- If the unit has a high seer rating will it run on less amps? I need to pay attention to the electric load.Not sure how many amps is required with the unit my installer is planning on installing? I guess I need to get the specs from him.
- I was thinking of having him include a furnace in the package in case I need heat in the room (in case the dehumidifier wont keep room warm during lights off)(Im in Michigan).
- He also suggested possibly setting a 3 ton roof top unit on the ground at the outside wall and simply plumb in a supply and return?
A lot of options and I am overwhelmed. I have two separate identical flower rooms to set up independently and want to get it right the 1st time.
Could you please comment on my questions?
Thanks again
Terry
