The Benefits of a Mini-Split System

July 25, 2016

A lot of people have never heard of using a mini-split system as an air conditioning option. Common 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 require all the ductwork. At times, they even have several indoor units.

Using a mini-split system for air conditioning helps you design unique sections in your home, each operated by its own thermostat. These zones will allow you to air condition only the rooms that are occupied. It’s common for mini-split systems to have the power of joining four individual spaces. You will determine how many zones you want in your home 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 completely achievable because they are discreet, compact and make your home snug. What’s even better is mini-split systems are very energy-efficient and can help you control 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 function more quietly than a window unit, but they look more streamlined 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 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 918-682-8238 to determine if a mini-split system will work for you.
