I need a mini split for an apartment

I received a phone call today and it went like this.

Hey Ron I need a quote for two Samsung mini split heat pumps for an apartment building.

I asked

Will it be the only source of heat and what size are you looking for?

Their response

One apartment is 800sq feet and the other one is about 500sq feet and there will be some baseboard electric heat.

I quoted two Samsung Max Heat HP’s units rated for -13F in the heating mode at 27mbh each. Yeah I know there are load calculation software and use them from time to time but not needed as with inverter compressor technology and a known back up source it was a quick conversation and quote.

Some time “Rules of Thumbs” apply so no need to over complicate things on this particular design as 400sq feet per ton works.

I have been selling Samsung mini splits and VRF since 2016 so give me a call if you have an opportunity for a mini split.

Enjoy and stay tuned.

Ron
