Mini split in the living room: Comfortable?
whitenack
| Posted in General Questions on
I would assume that putting a mini split right in front of a couch or chair would cause discomfort from the cold air in the summer and the blowing air in the winter? Is there a rule of thumb on how far away a mini split should be located from where people will be sitting?

Clay,
It depends on how the vanes are aimed. If the unit is on a wall directly above the sofa, and the vanes are adjusted to blow the air straight ahead (rather than down), I don't think that the people on the sofa would be disturbed. Most minisplit indoor units have adjustable vanes.
