Most people have never heard of using a mini-split system as an air conditioning option. Popular in Europe and Asia, mini-split systems are growing popularity in the United States. Mini-split systems have outdoor and indoor units like a forced central air conditioner, but they don’t need all the ductwork. Occasionally, they even have multiple indoor units.
Choosing a mini-split system for air conditioning helps you create individual areas in your home, each operated by its own thermostat. These sections will allow you to cool only the rooms that are occupied. It’s common for mini-split systems to have the ability of joining four individual spaces. You will choose how many zones you require in your home 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 absolutely doable because they are silent, small and make your home pleasant. What’s even better is mini-split systems are very energy-efficient and can help you lower your energy costs while keeping your home comfortable.
When you’ve added a new room to your home, like a sun room, a mini-split is a great choice. Not only do they operate 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 obstruct natural light like a window unit will. Actually, you may not notice it at all with several different installation options as well, including having your indoor unit installed in the ceiling.
