Default Why aren't refrigerators & freezers designed to benefit fromoutside cold air?

it's amazing that you can get a split A/C that would easily accomplish
this without ducting


So you want to run refrigeration lines all over a house to install mini split heat pumps in every room? You can get a 5 zone mini split system that works very well with an option for ceiling cassette, wall mount, hidden ducted or universal indoor units that can be mixed and matched connected to the same condensing unit. The systems have all kinds of nice features like individual temperature control for each zone, optional WiFi interface and very quiet operation but there are some things to consider. A line set must be run to each unit, power and thermostat wiring to each unit and a possible penetration of the wall for each unit, more points for possible refrigerant leaks and the complexity of the system. When the cost of all the options is added up, such a multi zone mini split system can be much more expensive than a ducted central HVAC system. There are small duct high velocity systems that are much more affordable than a multi zone mini split system without the complexity. If I

had to install an HVAC system in any home, I'd choose the small duct high velocity system. ^_^

I've been following the thread. Malformed wants to run a
ductless mini split to provide cold air for the inside
of the refrigerator.

Cool! He can use one of the zones for the evaporator in his/her/its refrigerator. ^_^
