Repair or Replace Dilemma? Facts about Your A/C’s Lifespan

Do you have a room or addition to your Northeast Florida home that never gets as cool as it should? Do you have a huge, window air conditioner that is noisy and blocks the view? Is the upstairs of your home difficult to cool? An answer to all those problems can come from installing ductless mini-split air conditioning.

Ductless mini splits have been gaining in popularity. They have been in use for years in Japan, where land and outside space is limited for large heat pumps or central-air units. Mini splits are compact, efficient and do not use ducts to deliver cool air.
Ductless mini splits consist of two components: an inside air-handling unit and a compact outdoor compressor and condenser. The interior part is generally mounted on a wall where it will generate the best cooling. The outside section can be placed up to 50 feet away from the inside section. The two components are connected by a simple 3-inch opening through the wall.

The ductless mini-split air conditioning system is sized for the area to be cooled. Smaller spaces will require fewer BTU’s than larger areas. Sizing the unit assures the best efficiency by not using more power than is needed.

They offer great flexibility in adapting to different room and home situations. Some systems are capable of using only one outside component to handle up to four inside units which can be run independently with their own thermostat. Other options include units which can be ceiling or wall-mounted, and floor models are also available.
