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. Just like a forced central air conditioner they have an outdoor and indoor unit, and sometimes with various indoor units.
With the mini-split model of air conditioning you are able to establish 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 in use. Many models are able to have four individualized zones linked to one outdoor unit. The number of zones will change subject to how much cooling is necessary and how tightly the room is insulated.
Mini-split systems are a great answer to both your air conditioning and heating needs because they are compact, not loud and help you thrive in a more tolerant home environment. Not to mention, the efficiency levels of mini-split systems mean that you’re able to have better control of your home’s comfort while also being mindful of your monthly energy bills.
Mini-splits are great options for new home additions like sun rooms. They make less noise than a window unit because, just like a central air conditioner system, the condensing unit isn’t inside. 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.
