For our new home (2-storey, heated slab-on-grade) we are looking at using a ductless minisplit system instead of installing central air.
We don't otherwise need forced air ductwork in the house, and being in eastern Ontario cooling is a very nice to have rather than an absolute necessity so we don't need a gazillion tons of it!
We also like the idea of being able to control each zone independently ... what's the point of all the temperature sensors and HA stuff if the HVAC system only has an on/off switch anyway?
Does anyone have any feedback on using these types of systems? In particular, any comments on how to intergrate the control with an ELK M1? There would be 4 zones upstairs and 2 or 3 downstairs (which is very open plan).
Thanks,
Rob
