About The Mini Air Conditioner
The mini air conditioner was invented by an outdoorsman that was looking for a small room air conditioner that would be both serviceable and inexpensive. As they say, if you can’t find it, make it and he did.
The mini air conditioner is very simple to operate. It uses very little power. It’s compact and in most cases very inexpensive. With a 12 volt mini system it can be used in places such as your boat, your car or any small enclosed space.
When we think of air conditioning we think of the large window unit, the wall unit or central air conditioning. What we have done is to take air conditioning for granted.
What about small areas that need to be cooled? The practicality of the mini air conditioner should be foremost on our minds for small space cooling.
The mini air conditioner usually comes with a base unit that is placed outside, and additional unit or units that are small and fit into any room. These units are powerful, as much as 15,000 BTU. The advantage of this type of air conditioner is that it eliminates the necessity of bulky units, since the entire unit, inside and outside, takes up very little room.
This type of unit is perfect for the person moving to or living in a townhouse or condo.
The difference between the mini air conditioner and the portable room air conditioner is that the portable can be moved from room to room where the mini air conditioner cannot.
The mini air conditioner also known as the mini split air conditioner has a central outdoor unit and as many indoor units as one needs for each room to be cooled. As each room would have its own thermostat the room only needs to be cooled when someone is using it.
The mini air conditioner does not have any ductwork such as you may need in a central system. Ductwork is responsible for about 30% of energy consumption. Therefore, the mini cooling arrangement saves both energy and money.
The mini air conditioner offers flexible interior design as the unit can be floor standing, ceiling mounted or wall mounted. Many have entered into the world of high technology and offer a remote control for easier off and on access to the ceiling or wall mounted units.
The mini air conditioner is safer for use in your home. Not because of anything on or in the unit, but the fact that it is not window mounted. Unlike the window mounted units the mini air conditioner does not provide, but deters, any easy entrance or exit for intruders.
In conclusion, the mini air conditioner is the ideal system for anyone living in a townhouse or condo. In these days of economic straits the mini air conditioner saves both energy and money. It requires less space than most window, wall or central units and can be mounted just about anywhere in the house including the ceiling.
