For a house with a layout like ours, good insulation, and an "Arlington" climate, two to four indoor units are needed, in general, to heat and cool a 1500 square foot house. It is recommended to use one unit per room or zone to provide heating and cooling, which is what the main floor up to the loft area is effectively divided into, and since the units can be up to 30% more efficient at part load compared to a conventional ducted system. They can also be positioned high on a wall, near the ceiling.
