Many people today are choosing to live in smaller spaces. From small apartments to tiny homes, living in smaller spaces can be more economical to set up and maintain. During the warm summers in Forney, Texas, having a ductless mini-split AC is a great way to keep your small living space nice and cool.
What Is a Mini-Split?
A mini-split is an air conditioning unit that doesn’t require ductwork that needs to be run through the entire home, as in traditional central air conditioning. Mini-splits are independent units installed outside the building or room that’s being cooled.
On the inside is a smart-looking air handler unit, which is connected from the outside to the inside with a conduit that holds the cables, lines, and refrigerant hose. Mini-splits are easily controlled with a remote.
Who Should Use Mini-Splits?
Mini-splits are perfect for those who live in small apartments, small portable homes, or granny units. Mini-splits are also excellent ways to cool off bonus rooms and home gyms.
They’re useful in larger homes that have rooms that don’t need constant cooling. Just install a mini-split in the rooms or zones that need cooling. No need to cool off the whole house.
Mini-splits are also a good option to add to a room that may need additional cool air, such as a hot kitchen or sunroom.
How Can Mini-Splits Make My Home More Energy Efficient?
You can reduce your energy bills by simply cooling only the rooms that need it. You’ll only be using electricity for specific rooms or areas instead of wasting energy on rooms that don’t need cooling.
For a small living space, you may only need a small cooling unit to feel comfortable. You can always set just the right temperature with a mini-split air conditioner.
