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 increasingly popular in the United States. Identical to 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 permits you to only cool the areas of your home that are occupied. Many models are able to have four single zones connected to one outdoor unit. The number of zones will depend on how much cooling is necessary and how tightly the room is insulated.
Mini-split systems are a great fix to both your air conditioning and heating needs because they are compact, quiet and help you build a more relaxed home environment. Not to mention that the efficiency levels of mini-split systems mean that you’re able to have more control of your home’s comfort while also being cautious of your monthly energy bills.
Mini-splits are top options for new home additions like sun rooms. They aren’t noisy than a window unit because, just like a central air conditioner system, the condensing unit is outside. 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.
