Ductless Mini-Splits

Ductless mini-splits are a great option for older homes without existing air ducts, supplementing a ducted system in rooms that don’t get adequate heating or cooling, or adding comfort to room additions or converted spaces. They provide a range of installation options from wall-mounted units to ceiling cassettes. They can even heat and cool multiple zones in your home, so you can set different temperatures for each area. You can also choose a system that minimizes energy usage by finding an ENERGY STAR model with a high seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) rating.

A ductless system includes an outdoor compressor/condenser unit and an indoor air-handling unit, linked by a conduit that houses power cable, refrigerant tubing, and suction tubing. Many models offer both heating and cooling, and some have multiple evaporators for large areas like new home additions or garages. A ductless system can be DIY, but it requires a fair amount of electrical work and understanding of your walls (for drilling through them). A professional installation is safer and more reliable.

Window A/C Units

A window air conditioner is a great option for a small space that needs cooling. These units are designed to fit into a window and can be removed at the end of summer or left year-round (if you want to remove it, make sure you have a filler in place to keep the space above it secure).

Window AC units come in many different shapes and sizes so you will need to measure your window to ensure it will work. Additionally, a window air conditioner is hung from the outside of the house which means it can be seen from the street and may be a security risk for some people.

When selecting a window AC unit it is important to choose one that has enough BTUs to cool your space. You should aim for roughly 20 BTUs per square foot of space. Also, look for smart features that can control your AC through an app or voice command.

Portable Air Conditioners

Portable air conditioners are typically smaller and more affordable than window units. They also allow you to cool multiple rooms and do not require a permanent installation. They are a good choice for homes with neighborhood restrictions on window units or for those with windows too small to accommodate a window unit.

They work by sucking the hot and humid air into the unit and cooling and dehumidifying it through internal coils. They then vent the cooled air back into the room. Some models have adjustable louvres, while others have automatic oscillating louvres that move across the room to circulate air more efficiently. They usually have a water collection bucket or tray that needs to be emptyed regularly to prevent mold growth.

Some PACs have sleep timers to turn the unit off at an programmable nighttime temperature and some have smart AC controllers that can be used with location-based triggers to turn the unit on before you get home or off when you leave. They can also display your energy consumption and SEER rating.
