Many people have never heard of using a mini-split system as an air conditioning option. Often found in Europe and Asia, mini-split systems are increasing popularity in the United States. Mini-split systems have outdoor and indoor units like a forced central air conditioner, but they don’t demand all the ductwork. At times, they even have numerous indoor units.
Picking a mini-split system for air conditioning allows you to establish separate zones in your home, each controlled by its own thermostat. These zones will allow you to air condition only the rooms that are occupied. It’s typical for mini-split systems to have the capability of connecting four specific spaces. You will choose how many zones you need in your house depending on how much cooling you need and how well-insulated each room is.
Using a mini-split system for your heating needs as well as your cooling needs is completely achievable because they are silent, compact and make your home pleasant. What’s even better is mini-split systems are extra energy-efficient and can help you lower your energy costs while keeping your home comfortable.
When you’ve built on a new room to your home, like a sun room, a mini-split is a great decision. Not only do they run more quietly than a window unit, but they look more suitable in the room because the condensing unit is outside, just like that of a central air conditioner system. They also don’t deter natural light like a window unit will. Truthfully, you may not notice it at all with several distinct installation options as well, including having your indoor unit installed in the ceiling.
