Hello,
This past week I had a Mitsubishi mini split installed in my bonus room and it was previously serviced by a 2.5 ton conventional A/C. The 2.5 ton unit still services my upstairs portion of my home. I have a 24" x 30" return in the upstairs area and also same size hot air return in the bonus room. While the installer shut off the cold air returns in my bonus room, they did not do that with the hot air return in bonus room. When I questioned why, they simply said it was still needed but I still don't understand why.
Is the answer I received accurate? I know little about either system but I do understand basic principle of removing hot air, cooling it, and returning colder air. As far as I know, both systems are recirculating the air. While I have no complaints now regarding cooling either section, I desire both areas to be functioning optimally. At the moment, it seems like the 2.5 ton is still working harder than it really needs to as it's still pulling hot air from my bonus room. Your thoughts are appreciated.
