Mini Split Systems: The Key to Perfect Kalamazoo Summers

Have you ever gotten home after a long day in the heat and been smacked in the face with air conditioning set to 10, 15, 20 degrees lower than the outside temperature? Or, instead, have you ever stepped outside in the afternoon and feel like you just walked into an oven?

Once you acclimate to the warm outdoors or the cool indoors during the Michigan summers, it’s easy to start enjoying yourself. That being said, the transition can be an unnecessarily uncomfortable one.

Here’s a different question for you. Do you live with someone who prefers their home to be warmer or cooler than you? If so, then you know the irritation and constant underlying sense of discomfort that comes from compromising on your preferred temperature. For reasons like these, mini split systems have been created.

Installing Ductless Mini Split Systems

Ductless mini split systems are designed not to regulate the temperature of your home, but of the different rooms inside your home. Unlike heating and air conditioning units, which require more complex installation practices to implement, the Fujitsu general ductless mini split system is shockingly easy to install. The Fujitsu system requires only one outdoor unit to independently regulate up to 8 different rooms, whereas standard furnaces and air conditioning work in tandem with ventilation to heat and cool the home as a whole. This is accomplished by simply drilling a small hole in a building’s wall and connecting the otherwise independent internal unit with the external unit using a conduit.

FAQ: Is a Mini Split System Right for Me?

Like all good questions, the answer to this one is: it depends. For some people, air conditioning and furnaces are all they need in their home because they either live alone or everyone who lives there feels content with the current level of heating and cooling. However, a mini split system is certainly ideal for those who are leasing out rooms in their home or complex, since it gives tenants the ability to control the temperature of their own space without impacting other folks on the property. Additionally, mini split systems are perfect for families who require certain rooms to stay warm or cool for health reasons, since studies show that, as we age, our ability to thermoregulate declines and we need more environmental assistance to keep warm.
