Planning Notes

Whole-Dwelling Single Zone

Tiny homes often use one indoor head for the whole dwelling, so door layout, lofts, and airflow paths matter more than in a simple bedroom.

single vs multi-zone guide

115V Service Constraints

Small services can make 115V equipment attractive, but the full electrical load still needs a circuit and panel check.

Moisture Management

Small air volumes respond quickly, so oversizing can hurt humidity control and comfort.

Mounting

Non-standard walls, lofts, trailers, and compact framing can make the mount and line-set path as important as capacity.

MRCOOL / DIY 5th Generation
