An air conditioning option you may not have considered, or even heard of, is a mini-split system. Mini-split systems have been prominent in Europe and Asia for quite some time and are becoming increasingly popular in the United States. Just like a forced central air conditioner they have an outdoor and indoor unit, and periodically with many indoor units.
With the mini-split model of air conditioning you are easily able to organize individual zones in your home, with each zone having its own thermostat. This allows you to only cool the areas of your home that are in use. Many models are able to have four single zones attached to one outdoor unit. The number of zones will depend on how much cooling is required and how well the room is insulated.
Mini-split systems are a great solution to both your air conditioning and heating needs because they are compact, quiet and help you build a more tolerant home environment. Not to mention, the productive levels of mini-split systems mean that you’re able to have better control of your home’s comfort while also being mindful of your monthly energy spending.
Mini-splits are great options for new home additions especially sun rooms. They aren’t noisy like a window unit because, just like a central air conditioner system, the condensing unit isn’t inside. They also have sleek, contemporary designs and don’t block out light from windows like a window unit. There are many various installation options as well, including the ability to have the indoor unit installed in a ceiling.
Your air conditioning really comes down to what is correct for you and your humble abode. If you’d like to discuss if a mini-split system will work for you give our professionals a call at 304-877-5566.
