An air conditioning option you may not have considered, 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 occasionally with multiple indoor units.
With the mini-split model of air conditioning you are easily able to organize 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 simplified zones attached to one outdoor unit. The number of zones will change subject to how much cooling is required and how well the room is insulated.
Mini-split systems are a successful answer to both your air conditioning and heating needs because they are compact, not noisy and help you create a more tolerant home environment. Not to mention, the economical levels of mini-split systems mean that you’re able to have more control of your home’s comfort while also being mindful of your monthly energy bills.
Mini-splits are great options for new home additions especially sun rooms. They make less noise than 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 different installation options as well, including the ability to have the indoor unit equipped in a ceiling.
Your air conditioning really comes down to what is correct for you and your humble abode. If you’d like to discuss if a mini-split system will work for you give our professionals a call at 479-308-8176.
