Most people have never heard of utilizing a mini-split system as an air conditioning option. Common 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 need all the ductwork. Occasionally, they even have multiple indoor units.
Choosing a mini-split system for air conditioning helps you establish individual zones in your home, each regulated by its own thermostat. These sections will allow you to regulate only the rooms that are occupied. It’s typical for mini-split systems to have the power of connecting four individual zones. You will choose how many zones you want in your home depending 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 achievable because they are discreet, compact and make your home snug. What’s even better is mini-split systems are extra energy-efficient and can help you control your energy costs while keeping your home comfortable.
When you’ve added a new room to your home, like a sun room, a mini-split is a great choice. Not only do they run more quietly than a window unit, but they look more suitable 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. Truthfully, you may not notice it at all with many unique installation options as well, including having your indoor unit installed in the ceiling.
