The Benefits of a Mini-Split System

July 25, 2016

Many people have never heard of using a mini-split system as an air conditioning option. Popular in Europe and Asia, mini-split systems are increasing popularity in the United States. Mini-split systems have outdoor and indoor units like a forced central air conditioner, but they don’t demand all the ductwork. Occasionally, they even have multiple indoor units.

Picking a mini-split system for air conditioning helps you establish individual areas in your home, each controlled 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 capability of linking four individual zones. You will choose how many zones you need in your living space based 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 achievable because they are discreet, small and make your home comfortable. 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 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 block natural light like a window unit will. In fact, you may not notice it at all with plenty of unique installation options as well, including having your indoor unit installed in the ceiling.

What you pick to meet your air conditioning needs depends on your unique needs and what will work best in your home. We can help you find the best solution. Call us at 928-432-6018 to determine if a mini-split system will work for you.
