Ductless air conditioners consumer advice
Ductless air conditioners are becoming more and more popular these
days. They are not noisy, cheap compared to central air conditioner
system and are very energy efficient.
Ductless air conditioner systems are also called mini split systems.
They don’t require much free space, because the largest part
of the unit is outside. The compressor unit is outdoors and a quiet
cooling unit is mounted on a wall or ceiling. Another advantage
of an outside compression is that the unit works very quietly, leaving
all the noise outside your home. Ductless system is similar to a
regular ducted central air conditioner, but on a smaller scale.
If your home does not have air-conditioning, or if you have a
central system that does not work very well, adding a ductless air
conditioner is a better solution than a window unit. It has more
cooling capacity also being quieter and more efficient.
An outdoor unit for a ductless system is small and quiet compared
to central air-conditioning outdoor units,. A typical indoor unit
weighs only about 20 pounds and is not large.
.
Better models have hand-held remotes that regulate everything
— on/off times, temperature, louver directions. Most models
also include dehumidifiers.
If you need to cool a large aria we recommend a model with moving
vanes to distribute the cool air evenly. You can also adjust the
louvers up/down and right/left using a hand-held remote. This way
you can concentrate the cooling in one smaller area.
Another big advantage of a ductless model is that is saves you
money. These units allow you to cool only certain areas of your
home and only for certain times. This is a big savings on your electric
bills.
