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 continuously popular in the United States. Just like a forced central air conditioner they have an outdoor and indoor unit, and occasionally with various indoor units.
With the mini-split model of air conditioning you are capable to create 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 simplified zones attached to one outdoor unit. The number of zones will change subject to how much cooling is needed 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 noisy and help you thrive in a more relaxed home environment. Not to mention, the productive levels of mini-split systems mean that you’re able to have greater control of your home’s comfort while also being mindful of your monthly energy bills.
Mini-splits are smart options for new home additions especially 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 diverse installation options as well, including the ability to have the indoor unit equipped in a ceiling.
Your air conditioning really comes down to what is right 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 314-262-4541.
