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 continuously popular in the United States. Comparable to a forced central air conditioner they have an outdoor and indoor unit, and periodically with many 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 in use. Many models are able to have four single zones linked to one outdoor unit. The number of zones will depend on how much cooling is necessary and how successfully 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 create 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 mindful of your monthly energy costs.
Mini-splits are smart options for new home additions like sun rooms. They aren’t noisy like a window unit because, just like a central air conditioner system, the condensing unit is outdoors. 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.
