An air conditioning option you may not have looked into, or even heard of, is a mini-split system. Mini-split systems have been popular 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 able to organize 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 simplified zones connected to one outdoor unit. The number of zones will be determined by how much cooling is needed 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 loud and help you build 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 respectful of your monthly energy bills.
Mini-splits are top options for new home additions especially 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 diverse installation options as well, including the ability to have the indoor unit put in a ceiling.
