Comparing Ductless Mini-Split Cooling Systems to Window Air Conditioners
The main difference between a window air conditioner and a ductless mini-split cooling system is that the ductless AC unit involves an outdoor and an indoor unit while a window AC is predominantly an indoor unit. With ductless AC systems, a condensing outdoor component is installed in the ground or on the exterior of the building while an indoor cooling system comprised of smaller units, or "zones", is implemented wherever cooling is needed.

One of the most important factors determining the quality and quantity of sleep you receive each night is the purity of the air you breathe. Air that is rife with mold, dust, pet dander and other irritating allergens will diminish the amount of good, restful sleep you should be getting by affecting the breathing capacity of those sensitive to air quality. Continuous awakening during the night due to snoring, coughing and inflamed reactive airways often leads to a condition known as sleep apnea.

Air Conditioners: BTU and EER
On most air conditioners, the capacity of the unit is relayed in Btu, or British thermal units. A Btu is defined as the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of one pound (or .45 kilograms) of water by one degree Fahrenheit (or .56 degrees Celsius). One Btu is equal to 1.055 joules. When considering cooling and heating terms, one ton is equal to 12,000 Btu.

Window Air Conditioning Units and Split Units
Modern air conditioning units typically take two forms: the window unit and the split unit. A window air conditioning unit is used for a complete air conditioner in a small space. the units are made for consumer use and are the size and shape of a normal window frame. The window is closed down upon the unit, which keeps it in place. The unit is plugged in, and cold air fills the room.

What are Ductless Mini Split Air Conditioners?
Similar to central air conditioning, ductless mini split air conditioners contain condenser/compressor units and evaporator units that are connected by suction and refrigerant tubing, power cords and a drain for the excess condensation. The pipes connecting the indoor/outdoor units of split air conditioners are linked through modestly-sized holes that have been drilled into a home or business's walls.

Air Conditioning FAQs
Air conditioners are electrical units utilizing chemicals capable of converting from liquid to gas and back to liquid again, effectively cooling and dehumidifying one room or an entire building. This chemical, known as freon, also helps to transfer the heat from the interior of a building to the outside where it is dispersed away from the structure.

What is Radiant Heating?
Homes heated with radiant heating depend on a heat supply that is transmitted from underneath the flooring, inside wall panels or in the ceiling. Based on the physics of heat transfer, radiant heating is a form of "infrared" radiation, or the delivery of energy from a heated component into the area in which these components are installed.
