(NAPSI)—When the weather heats up, many homeowners crank up their central air conditioning or turn to multiple noisy window units. Unfortunately, neither option is ideal: central air, wastes energy by its all-or-nothing nature. Window units, in addition to being cumbersome, diminish a room’s attractiveness and obscure its views.

Luckily, there is a third option: mini-split systems.

Up To 25 Percent Savings

Mini-splits are ductless heating and cooling systems that allow you to control the temperatures in individual rooms rather than the entire house. You’re not only customizing your comfort, you’re saving considerable energy, and up to 25 percent on utility bills. Overall, mini-split provider Fujitsu General offers the most energy-efficient lineup.

Advantages Over Window-Mounted AC & Central Air

Compared to window units, mini-split systems are more attractive, quieter and more energy efficient. Plus they’re set higher on the wall or ceiling, freeing up living space. Central air systems require expensive, intrusive ductwork and they’re not scalable, so they can’t be easily extended to previously unfinished living spaces such as attics, basements or three-season rooms. Mini-splits don’t require complex, expensive ductwork and can be installed to cool and heat newly converted spaces.

Mini-splits also allow for temperature control by individual room for maximum comfort and energy efficiency. You can keep different rooms at different temperatures-a solution to the thermostat wars waged by so many families, especially those with young children or senior parents. And while central air systems and window units can be noisy, mini-splits are whisper quiet indoors and out.

Maximum Flexibility, Minimum Space

Mini-split system compressors are outside the house but there’s no need for a basement or attic evaporator unit, thanks to thin copper tubing that pumps refrigerant directly to discreet evaporators inside. In cold weather, the same unit works in reverse, absorbing heat from the outside air and moving it indoors. The result is efficient cooling and heating for year-round, whole-house comfort.

Finally, mini-split systems come in all shapes and sizes for a refreshing amount of choice. Wall-mounted systems rest well above eye-level, while floor-mounted systems, with their compact size, are excellent for residential radiator replacements or any room with limited upper wall space, such as a kitchen or sunroom. Slim duct systems are ideal for homeowners who want units completely out of sight, since they’re concealed in a ceiling or framed enclosure below a ceiling.
