The Japanese Have Been Using it For Years - Split System Air Conditioning

Have you got rooms in your home that just won't cool using your existing air conditioning equipment? It's possible you may not have central air at all, because you have no ductwork in your home to run it through, so you're surviving using inefficient window units. Having ductwork run and installing central air just isn't feasible for a lot of people, because of the financial outlay that will be required. People are finding, however, that there is a better option available with split system air conditioning.

Although people used to exist without air conditioning in their homes, it was a very uncomfortable situation. Furniture and carpets became saturated with moisture while the people living in the home sweltered and sweated. It was too hot to cook, eat, sleep, or even just sit around doing nothing. Homes built during these years were not constructed to accommodate central air. Since that time, people have either had to bite the bullet in order to cool their homes or have just gone without. With split system air conditioning, however, the opportunity to cool older homes has become a reality.

With split system air, you can cool all of your home or only certain portions of it depending on the size of the systems you purchase and how many zones you elect to include. For people with limited budgets, it's possible to install this type of air conditioning system one zone at a time which makes it much more cost effective. If you already have central air, for example, but the bedrooms are still too warm for sound sleep, you can install a system that will cool just the bedroom areas. If you have no existing form of air conditioning, you can choose the areas you wish to cool, such as the kitchen and bedrooms.

The only thing that needs to be done prior to having split system air conditioning installed in your home is to drill a 3" hole in the wall. As mentioned earlier, there is no need for ductwork. The units are designed to maintain a low profile so that they won't disturb the décor of your home. You will find models that hang from the ceiling, mount on the wall, or stand on the floor so that you can put them wherever they will be the least obtrusive. Although this type of system is somewhat more expensive than other options, it still opens up a lot of possibilities for the owners of homes that have no or inadequate air conditioning.
