An air conditioning option you may not have considered, or even heard of, is a mini-split system. Mini-split systems have been favored in Europe and Asia for quite some time and are becoming even more popular in the United States. Similar to a forced central air conditioner they have an outdoor and indoor unit, and occasionally with various indoor units.
With the mini-split model of air conditioning you are capable 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 occupied. Many models are able to have four individualized zones attached to one outdoor unit. The number of zones will change subject to how much cooling is necessary and how successfully the room is insulated.
Mini-split systems are a reliable answer to both your air conditioning and heating needs because they are compact, not noisy and help you build a more tolerant home environment. Not to mention, the economical 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 especially 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 put in a ceiling.
Your air conditioning really comes down to what is the best fit for you and your house. If you’d like to discuss if a mini-split system will work for you give our professionals a call at (818) 727-9993.
