An air conditioning option you may not have contemplated, 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 even more popular in the United States. Comparable to a forced central air conditioner they have an outdoor and indoor unit, and sometimes with multiple indoor units.
With the mini-split model of air conditioning you are capable to establish individual zones in your home, with each zone having its own thermostat. This permits you to only cool the areas of your home that are in use. Many models are able to have four single zones linked to one outdoor unit. The number of zones will change subject to how much cooling is required and how tightly the room is insulated.
Mini-split systems are a reliable answer to both your air conditioning and heating needs because they are compact, not loud and help you build a more comfortable home environment. Not to mention, the efficiency levels of mini-split systems mean that you’re able to have greater control of your home’s comfort while also being cautious of your monthly energy costs.
Mini-splits are great options for new home additions such as sun rooms. They make less noise than a window unit because, just like a central air conditioner system, the condensing unit isn’t inside. They also have sleek, current 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.
