The Benefits of a Mini-Split System

July 25, 2016

Many people have never heard of choosing a mini-split system as an air conditioning option. Popular in Europe and Asia, mini-split systems are gaining popularity in the United States. Mini-split systems have outdoor and indoor units like a forced central air conditioner, but they don’t demand all the ductwork. Occasionally, they even have numerous indoor units.

Picking a mini-split system for air conditioning helps you create unique areas in your home, each controlled by its own thermostat. These zones will allow you to regulate only the rooms that are occupied. It’s normal for mini-split systems to have the capability of connecting four separate zones. You will choose how many zones you need in your house relying on how much cooling you need and how well-insulated each room is.

Using a mini-split system for your heating needs as well as your cooling needs is completely doable because they are quiet, condensed and make your home comfortable. What’s even better is mini-split systems are incredibly energy-efficient and can help you control your energy costs while keeping your home comfortable.

When you’ve built on a new room to your home, like a sun room, a mini-split is a great option. Not only do they operate more quietly than a window unit, but they look more fitting in the room because the condensing unit is outside, just like that of a central air conditioner system. They also don’t obstruct natural light like a window unit will. In fact, you may not notice it at all with plenty of different installation options as well, including having your indoor unit installed in the ceiling.

What you choose to meet your air conditioning needs depends on your unique needs and what will work best in your home. We can help you find the best solution. Call us at (985) 764-2426 to determine if a mini-split system will work for you.
