I live in a generally mild weather conditions, and when I was a kid, I lived in a easily hot and dry weather conditions, however i lived out in the Southwest and the heat was quite brutal at times, then central air conditioner was of the utmost importance to provide my family and I with comfort almost always throughout the entire year.
When I moved to this much milder weather conditions, I was amazed that some people in my town did not even bother with an air conditioner! Some of them simply had a couple of window air conditioners! Others literally did not have any central heating and air conditioner at all! They relied on ceiling fans and opening windows.
I have to disclose that throughout much of the year, you can get away with doing that in this weather conditions… However, I still insisted on purchasing some form of heating and air conditioner for those afternoons, rare though they may be, in which Heating and A/C would be needed… My spouse and I ultimately settled on getting a ductless mini-split Heating and A/C system. My pal and I did not need to spend exorbitant prices on central Heating and A/C when ductless units did just fine. Our home is relatively small so two ductless units on either side of the home suit us nicely! Ductless units are cheap and simple, though they are quite efficient at cooling small areas easily efficiently! They consist of an indoor and an outdoor component and repair is pretty simple! I cherish my ductless units!
