Is not the detriment that it is in Cooling cycle now you still have Pitfalls with an oversized heating unit For a heat pump but on the cooling side You have that short cycling that will Cause a buildup in moisture in the home In the heating cycle you don't have that You don't have a buildup of moisture in The home because you don't have all that Late energy in the air that has to be Drained out down your condensate drain So there's ways around this stuff so Evidently we're HVAC guy is at it's not An issue but if it gets much colder than That people may start to notice so it's An interesting comment you know a lot of Mini Splits don't have heat strips at All I don't know the science behind the Algorithms inside of Mini Splits I Really don't you can probably check out Ralph TNN services for that he's doing a Series on Mini Splits currently so you Can follow along with him as he teaches People about Mini Splits he's a Mitsubishi guy he knows a lot of stuff So very good comment from HVAC guy and a Very good point about certain situations Where heat strips might not be needed at All in certain places
