Blackstar Inverter Mini-Split Air Conditioners 18000 BTU (BS-ZC-185INV)

Blackstar 18,000 BTU Mini-Split Ac unit is ideal for a space between 400 and 700 sqft. We recommend using this capacity size for larger living spaces (kitchen + living). Mini-splits inverter acs are cooling systems that allow you to control the temperatures in individual rooms or spaces.

Mini-split systems have two main components — an outdoor compressor/condenser and an indoor air-handling unit(s) (evaporator). They are easy to install usually requiring only a three-inch hole through a wall for the conduit; which houses the power and communication cables, copper tubing, and a condensation drain line, linking the outdoor and indoor units.

Mini-split heat pumps are not only great solutions for whole home or new constructions but make good retrofit add-ons to houses with “non-ducted” heating systems, such as hydronic (hot water heat), radiant panels, and space heaters (wood, kerosene, propane). They can also be a good choice for room additions where extending or installing distribution ductwork is not feasible, and energy efficient new homes that require only a small space conditioning system.

The main difference between an inverter and non-inverter AC lies in their compressor speed. 

The Blackstar inverter AC has a variable speed compressor, while a non-inverter AC has a fixed speed compressor.

Variable speed compressors are more energy efficient than their fixed counterparts hence help you save on your electricity bill.
