Many people have never heard of using a mini-split system as an air conditioning option. Common in Europe and Asia, mini-split systems are growing 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 several indoor units.
Choosing a mini-split system for air conditioning allows you to create individual sections in your home, each operated by its own thermostat. These zones will allow you to cool only the rooms that are occupied. It’s typical for mini-split systems to have the power of joining four separate zones. You will choose how many zones you want 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 totally possible because they are discreet, small and make your home pleasant. What’s even better is mini-split systems are extra energy-efficient and can help you manage your energy costs while keeping your home comfortable.
When you’ve attached 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 fitting in the room because the condensing unit is outside, just like that of a central air conditioner system. They also don’t obstruct 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.
