Why Choose a Ductless Mini Split Air Conditioner
Posted by AC World on October 28th, 2015
As you’re looking for the best way to cool your home or business, you’ve got options at your disposal. Many decide between central air conditioning and ductless mini split air conditioners. Let’s take a look at three compelling reasons you should choose the latter.
1.Ductless mini split air conditioners are the most cost effective option
Put simply, ductless mini split air conditioners are more affordable than central air conditioning systems. They can cost a little more than the normal wall or window unit, but this minor additional cost can be quickly and easily made back thanks to added energy savings and the added home security.
2.These units are very quiet and efficient
The compressors for these units sit outside, which means they’re very quiet. Don’t put up with the constant humming of a window unit when you can choose this virtually silent option.
3.Say goodbye to energy loss
Ductless mini split air conditioners don’t have ducts – as the name implies. This means they don’t lose energy the way central forced air systems do. Did you know that duct loss can cause more than 30% of energy consumption? This is especially true of air conditioners in attics.
4.Installation is a breeze
Let’s face it: it’s difficult to install a central air conditioning system. This simply isn’t true for the ductless mini split air conditioner. Take this example: hooking up the outdoor and indoor units only requires a 3-inch hole through the wall for the electrical wires and connecting pipes. All the air conditioners you get from AC-World include almost 25 feet of connecting pipe, which allows you to install the outdoor unit as much as 24.6 feet from your indoor evaporator.
5.You have tons of flexibility
Because you can place the outdoor unit so far away from the indoor evaporator, you’re able to cool rooms in the front of your home or office while placing the compressor in a more inconspicuous area. You also have the option of installing your outside compressor by using our wall brackets, which gives you even more options. Finally, these air conditioners come with remote controls that make it easy to turn them on and off even when they’re installed high off the ground.
