Well, there are available numerous models and sizes of air conditioning units but why you should try to buy and use ductless mini air conditioners? Basically they can be categorized as windowless ac appliances and can be installed relatively easier, if we compare to conventional central ac or window ac models. And the wall usually is the most popular choice to install them.

They are one of the most efficient air conditioners. Their ductless mechanism (without needing ductwork concept) and their mini size is perfect design that makes them work more efficient. It is plus point that will help homeowners to save money on the monthly electric bill! They are alternative spot cooling option if you feel disturbed by loud noise when using standard portable ac models that usually work noisy! In addition, spot cooling method is smart choice to cool the spot space of the room more specifically, effectively and efficiently.

Ductless mini air conditioners are also ideal for older houses, why? Because we know well that most of the older buildings don’t have ductwork mechanism. Their installation is not too difficult and you don’t have to consider about the existing heating system of your house, this means the installation will not require redesigning the existing current system.

They are already equipped with some modern features like such as multiple programmable thermostat (it is helpful to allow user to set the temperature level in different parts of your house), remote control, digital LCD monitor, inverter technology, saving energy efficiency features (like higher value of SEER v and qualified of EPA’s Energy Star label), and so on.

The function of inverter feature:

An inverter will be helpful to control the performance of compressor and maintain precise control of room temperature and also create more comfortable indoor environment. It is so different if we compare to the non-inverter technology (conventional on-off compressor) which usually the compressor turns off once the set temperature is reached and turns back on after the temperature rises that eventually will make the system works not-efficiently. With the inverter controlled compressor, the power reduces once the desired temperature has been reached and continues operating at a reduced rate to maintain a stable room temperature with minimal fluctuation. Overall the inverter technology will make the system work more efficient (up to more than 30-40 percent)

Units that come with good value of SEER and inverter technology usually are offered relatively more expensive but in the long run these features will end up saving you even more money on your electric bill. Units that come with a high SEER and inverter technology can be purchased just slightly more expensive (the price different is around $200-$400) than standard models. In addition, if your local area has low ambience then avoid using units with SEER of 13. It is going better if you choose higher than SEER of 13.

What else you should know about ductless mini split air conditioning units:

1. The variety sizes of them that are currently available in the market at this time are; (9,000 BTU for 50 to 300 square ft), (12,000 BTU for 300 to 500 square ft), (18,000 BTU for 500 to 700 square ft) and (24,000 BTU for 700 to 1000 square ft).
2. Some factors that can influence the unit when running are; the large sq-ft size of the room, the insulation (available or not), the ceiling height, the air circulation (like how many windows, ventilations, or doors of the room), the outside temperature (ambient temperature), etc.
3. Most of them come with one year on hassle warranty, three years on parts and five years on compressor!
4. Could you install them by yourself (DIY option)? Well, the answer is dependent your technical level. But if you are beginner about it then by hiring a professional installer is nice idea to ensure the unit is properly installed!
5. Generally, the can work optimally if the outside temperature is around 17-109 degrees Fahrenheit. They can cool air effectively and powerfully around 60-90 degrees Fahrenheit.
6. Like other regular air cooling appliances, they also use air filter (mostly is cold catalyst air filter). But there are also some units (like products from LG) are already equipped with plasma air purification.
7. The last, several top brands of them are LG, YMG, Haier, Friedrich, Shinco (relatively cheaper than others), etc.
