If you are considering a new air conditioning installation, expand your options with ductless systems. Not only are these systems, like the ones offered by Mitsubishi Electric, easily installed, they are affordable, efficient, and often installed in a single day.
“At first, ductless systems were simple, single-room affairs, often installed as replacements for window air conditioners. But now some outdoor units have grown so powerful they can supply refrigerant to as many as nine separate indoor units. Amazingly, each unit in one of these ‘multi-split’ systems still operates independently. When it comes to customized zoning, this option is hard to stop.” ~ This Old House, June 2016
