When you spend time at your seasonal camp or lake house it’s all about rest and relaxation with family and friends. But if the temperature inside isn’t comfortable, you’re roughing it more than you need to. It’s time to take a closer look at why a mini split system is a great option to consider, no matter how big or small your vacation home is.
Mini Splits Give You Plenty of HVAC Options
Because many camps and lake houses are older structures, mini splits make sense not only because they are ductless but units can also be configured to cover a single room or an entire floor. For example, you can keep sleeping areas cool at night while common areas that don’t need mini split coverage won’t unnecessarily run up the power bill. It’s a great way to control the humidity and temperature of each room individually in a way that meets your needs. Also, keep in mind that you can always add more units after you see how well they work.
Installation is a Breeze – Floorplan Doesn’t Matter
You might think that the layout or smaller rooms in a camp or lake house make installing a mini splits challenge. But because they are ductless, installation doesn’t require any extensive structural changes. In fact, you just need a three-inch hole through an external wall for conduit to run power and communication cables, copper tubing, and condensation drain linking the indoor and outdoor unit.
At Jack Hall Plumbing & Heating, we know when our customers consider mini-splits, space is always a concern. That’s why our expert installers recommend Samsung’s Slim Duct mini splits. Because these compact, lightweight units are only 12 inches high, they can fit into tight spots and reduce ceiling height loss.
Whisper Quiet Mini Splits Won’t Ruin the Vacation Vibe
No one wants to listen to a loud compressor or fan from a cooling unit while they’re trying to enjoy time outside or get some sleep at night. Mini split systems are the quietest option available and run at about 20-25 decibels, which is almost the same level as a whisper. You’re definitely not trading noise for comfort.
While the indoor units are dead quiet, the outdoor components of a mini split do produce some noise. But even when the compressor and fan are running, mini split systems are much quieter than traditional HVAC or window units. Mini splits don’t take up much outdoor space, and depending on the home’s footprint, the technicians at Jack Hall can install the outdoor unit in a spot that keeps it away from decks, patios, or porches where you want to relax in peace.
