Ottsville, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/23/2016 -- The end of summer in southeastern Pennsylvania is invariably muggy, drawn-out and hot. Following this August's record-breaking temperatures, homeowners who cannot, for any number of reasons, install a conventional central cooling system in their home are feeling the burn. Commonly, homeowners in the area believe that older homes and additions are impossible to heat and cool, and suffer discomfort in summer's dog days. However, Cooper Mechanical can consult on and install a mini-split system, a flexible alternative to traditional ductwork.
Mini-splits are a ductless heating and cooling method that consists of an indoor air-handling unit coupled with an outdoor compressor/condenser. The two units are linked by tubing which houses the power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing and a condensate drain. Their discreet size and flexibility makes them suitable for older homes that are considered hard to cool and heat. Often, such homes were originally designed with radiant or hydronic heat in mind which do not use ductwork, the traditional way cool air is distributed throughout a home. However, mini-splits easily solve homeowners' heating and cooling woes.
Mini-splits are effective in other applications, as well. For example, home additions or infrequently-used rooms are excellent candidates for mini-splits. Mini-splits can be separated into up to eight zones in some cases, meaning that the outdoor unit can heat multiple areas without tapping into the existing central system. Each zone also has its own thermostat, meaning that homeowners can regulate the heat and air conditioning in individual areas, regardless of the temperature maintained in other rooms. Since mini-splits also come with varying lengths of connecting conduits, homeowners are given greater flexibility in choosing where to locate the outdoor unit.
