A Mini-Split System Addition with Accessories for HVAC
In Escondido, CA, where the inland San Diego heat can reach uncomfortable levels, keeping a home cool and comfortable is crucial, especially during the intense summer months. A house was equipped with an efficient central air conditioning system, however, the upstairs office remained problematic. Positioned in direct sunlight for much of the day, the office became excessively hot, making it difficult to work in comfort.
Seeking a solution to this issue, the homeowners decided to hire Degree Heating and Air, a trusted HVAC service provider located in San Diego County. The goal was to install a mini-split system to supplement the existing central air and provide targeted cooling for the office. To ensure the new system would not only cool the space effectively but also integrate seamlessly into the home’s design, they opted to install a single-zone system on the side of the house.
Slimduct SD was used to cover the lineset of the mini-split system, ensuring a clean and professional look. To further optimize the system’s performance and protection from outside elements, Juan utilized a range of drain hose accessories including a Bug Stopper, Drain Hose, and a Mini Inline Trap. These accessories for HVAC are critical for keeping the system running smoothly by preventing debris from entering, managing condensation, and promoting efficient drainage.
Slimduct SD White matched the exterior color of the house and the United Appliances AC unit. This choice ensured that the premium lineset cover not only provided excellent protection against weather and corrosion but also complemented the color scheme of the overall HVAC system. The result was a clean, professional look that elevated the aesthetic of the entire installation.
Slimduct SD is an ideal solution for homeowners who want to protect the lineset of their residential HVAC system while maintaining visual appeal. Its durability and resistance to the elements make it a reliable choice for long-term protection, ensuring that the lineset remains intact and corrosion-free in various weather conditions.
Additionally, the use of Inaba Denko America Insulated Drain Hose further optimized the HVAC system. This drain hose is engineered to carry condensation from the air conditioning unit to a designated outlet where it can be safely disposed of. Made from durable PE material, the drain hose is built to withstand regular use expected in an HVAC system, ensuring consistent, worry-free operation.
The Bug Stopper prevents pests from entering the drain hose, which is vital for avoiding potential blockages and system malfunctions. The Mini Inline Trap promotes the proper flow of condensate while simultaneously preventing insects and unwanted sewage gasses from entering the space when tied to a main waste line.
These accessories can ensure that HVAC systems not only function efficiently but also remain protected from outside elements. The combination of Slimduct SD, Inaba Denko Drain Hose, and Drain Hose Accessories makes for a system that is reliable, quiet, and built to last, while still maintaining a professional and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
This single-zone mini-split installation addressed the family’s cooling concerns, providing comfortable and consistent airflow to the upstairs office, allowing the central air system to continue efficiently managing the rest of the house. The homeowners are now enjoying a much more comfortable space, even during Escondido’s hottest days, all thanks to this smart HVAC upgrade by Degree Heating and Air and Inaba Denko America’s high-quality HVAC Accessories.
