An air conditioning option you may not have looked into, or even heard of, is a mini-split system. Mini-split systems have been prominent in Europe and Asia for quite some time and are becoming increasingly popular in the United States. Comparable to 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 able to create individual zones in your home, with each zone having its own thermostat. This allows you to only cool the areas of your home that are not empty. Many models are able to have four individualized zones connected to one outdoor unit. The number of zones will depend on how much cooling is necessary and how well 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 relaxed home environment. Not to mention, the efficiency 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 costs.
Mini-splits are top options for new home additions like sun rooms. They are quieter than a window unit because, just like a central air conditioner system, the condensing unit is outdoors. They also have sleek, modern 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 put in a ceiling.
Your air conditioning really comes down to what is right 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 715-318-6728.
