An air conditioning option you may not have considered, 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 increasingly popular in the United States. Similar to a forced central air conditioner they have an outdoor and indoor unit, and sometimes with multiple indoor units.
With the mini-split model of air conditioning you are easily able to create 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 not empty. Many models are able to have four single zones connected to one outdoor unit. The number of zones will be determined by how much cooling is necessary and how successfully the room is insulated.
Mini-split systems are a reliable solution to both your air conditioning and heating needs because they are compact, not loud and help you create a more relaxed home environment. Not to mention, the productive levels of mini-split systems mean that you’re able to have greater control of your home’s comfort while also being cautious of your monthly energy costs.
Mini-splits are top options for new home additions such as sun rooms. They make less noise than a window unit because, just like a central air conditioner system, the condensing unit is outside. They also have sleek, contemporary 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 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 512-937-2001.
