The Benefits of a Mini-Split System

July 25, 2016

An air conditioning option you may not have considered, 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 continuously popular in the United States. Identical to a forced central air conditioner they have an outdoor and indoor unit, and periodically with many indoor units.

With the mini-split model of air conditioning you are able to establish 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 simplified zones linked to one outdoor unit. The number of zones will be determined on how much cooling is needed and how successfully the room is insulated.

Mini-split systems are a successful answer to both your air conditioning and heating needs because they are compact, not noisy and help you build a more comfortable home environment. Not to mention that the efficiency levels of mini-split systems mean that you’re able to have better control of your home’s comfort while also being mindful of your monthly energy costs.

Mini-splits are smart options for new home additions like sun rooms. They make less noise than a window unit because, just like a central air conditioner system, the condensing unit is outdoors. They also have sleek, current designs and don’t block out light from windows like a window unit. There are many various installation options as well, including the ability to have the indoor unit equipped in a ceiling.

Your air conditioning really comes down to what is right 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 641-316-9803.
