In this photo you see two large copper lines going straight into the rear side of the compressor. These lines are required if your HVAC unit is to properly function, and provide cool air to your Mini split or even Central Air systems. Many home owners are now switching over to mini Split systems as their ability to cool large spaces is becoming widely popular for many different reasons. The HVAC system for a Mini Split unit is identical in functionality of a much larger central air system. A central air system for a standard 1800 square foot home is very close to the 2 Ton Mini split system capacity, BTU, and cooling capability. The installer of a Mini split system also has the option to install MORE THAN one single air ventilator to the same compressor. This places a substantive advantage to the entire situation as now home and business owners are able to circumvent a once highly dependent central air system with a Mini split system. The electric costs are lower, the costs to maintain a Mini split system are lower, and the cost of total system replacement is less than half that of a Central Air system. So why would anyone not want to switch over? I have your answer, depending on who runs your copper or line set tubing between the air ventilator and the compressor, it may end up looking like the below:
There are several ways to reduce the cosmetic impact that the line set may have. You may purchase a long sheet of sheet metal and have it bent into shape to cover up the entire line set, and you may also have a long wooden panel built specifically to cover the areas where the line set rests. Most HVAC specialists will recommend other methods for covering the line set that are strictly within regulation and would not impact the performance of the HVAC system.
