What Size Mini Split Do I Need for a Florida Home?
Choosing the right mini split size for a Florida home is essential for comfort, energy savings, and system longevity. Florida’s climate is hot and humid for most of the year, which means your mini split must be sized correctly to handle both cooling and humidity control.
How do I know what size mini split I need?
Mini split sizing is based on BTUs, room size, insulation, ceiling height, and how much sun exposure your space receives. A properly sized system cools efficiently without short-cycling or running constantly.
What is the rule of thumb for BTUs in Florida?
In warm climates like Florida, a common rule is: 20 BTU per square foot for cooling. But for accuracy, you should factor in humidity, ceiling height, and room layout.
What size mini split do I need for a typical room?
Here’s a quick guide:
- Up to 450 sq ft → 12k BTU mini split
- 450–600 sq ft → 18k BTU mini split
- 600–900 sq ft → 24k BTU mini split
Why does SEER rating matter?
SEER measures energy efficiency. Higher SEER means lower energy bills, especially in hot climates. Florida homeowners often benefit from high SEER mini splits because they run frequently during summer.
