EcoRenovator - View Single Post - Mini Split install in a small bedroom 137.5 Sq FT

I am thinking about putting a Mini Split in a small bed room. It is 137.5 sqft.
I am looking at the same Mini Split I put in my bedroom it is a 9,000 btu Gree inverter 27 seer unit.

I have two bed rooms this size so I would install a MS in each of them.

I know 9000 BTU seems big for a small bedroom but reading the specs

Cooling Capacity (Min-Max) 9,000 (3,500-9,600)
Heating Capacity (Min-Max) 9800 (2,200-11,000)

This seems like it would work at the lower sides of it.

We would have mini splits in all the bed rooms so at night I would adjust the duel zone Mini Split hotter or cooler at night and use the bedroom MS to keep cool or warm. This would allow me to use natural gas heat only on the coldest nights.

The kids rooms do not stay very consistent temps right now that we are using MS in just using the Dual MS and ours we don’t really use our old 4 ton main system any more.

They would be turned off these small SM in the winter in the daytime and just used them at night.

We have a credit of 3,000 kwh hours in reserve so we have extra power to run these units.
I could also really cut my natural gas bill down by doing this.

What do you think about using small inverter Mini Split in small bedroom? Can you see issues with this idea?
