An air conditioning option you may not have looked into, or even heard of, is a mini-split system. Mini-split systems have been favored in Europe and Asia for quite some time and are becoming even more popular in the United States. Just like a forced central air conditioner they have an outdoor and indoor unit, and periodically with various indoor units.
With the mini-split model of air conditioning you are easily able to establish individual zones in your home, with each zone having its own thermostat. This grants you to only cool the areas of your home that are occupied. Many models are able to have four individualized zones connected to one outdoor unit. The number of zones will change on 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, swift and help you thrive in a more tolerant home environment. Not to mention that 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 such as sun rooms. They aren’t noisy than a window unit because, just like a central air conditioner system, the condensing unit is isn’t inside. They also have sleek, modern designs and don’t block out light from windows like a window unit. There are many different installation options as well, including the ability to have the indoor unit installed in a ceiling.
