Most people have never heard of utilizing a mini-split system as an air conditioning option. Popular in Europe and Asia, mini-split systems are gaining popularity in the United States. Mini-split systems have outdoor and indoor units like a forced central air conditioner, but they don’t require all the ductwork. Sometimes, they even have multiple indoor units.
Choosing a mini-split system for air conditioning allows you to establish separate areas in your home, each regulated by its own thermostat. These zones will allow you to cool only the rooms that are occupied. It’s normal for mini-split systems to have the ability of connecting four separate zones. You will decide how many zones you require in your living space relying on how much cooling you need and how well-insulated each room is.
Using a mini-split system for your heating needs as well as your cooling needs is absolutely possible because they are discreet, small and make your home pleasant. What’s even better is mini-split systems are very energy-efficient and can help you control your energy costs while keeping your home comfortable.
When you’ve built on a new room to your home, like a sun room, a mini-split is a great decision. Not only do they function more quietly than a window unit, but they look more fitting in the room because the condensing unit is outside, just like that of a central air conditioner system. They also don’t deter natural light like a window unit will. In fact, you may not notice it at all with several distinct installation options as well, including having your indoor unit installed in the ceiling.
