With the upcoming summer right around the corner, the Bartkus family knew they needed to spring into action. They purchased their home without a central AC system. Consequently, the Bartkus family has been using window air conditioning units during the hot summer months. However, by the end of last summer, they decided that they didn’t want to deal with the hassle of using window AC units again due to the hassle, lack of comfort and noise.
They called Skylands Energy to discuss cooling solutions for their home. One of our expert heating and cooling technicians, George Lauck, went to their home. He recommended that they install a Fujitsu mini-split ductless system for their cape-style Hackettstown NJ home.
Skylands Energy installed three Fujitsu ductless indoor units at the Bartkus home. Two units were placed upstairs and one downstairs. All three of these units connected to one outdoor compressor.
This wall-mounted unit was placed in the downstairs area of the Bartkus home. The unit was installed in the area that they spend the most time in although it will provide comfort to their entire downstairs area. This particular model provides cooling, heating, and dehumidification options for year-round comfort. It offers an advanced filtration system, improving the indoor air quality of their home. Some other features that they will be able to enjoy include:
If your home is not currently fitted with a system of ducts to carry conditioned air for central air conditioning, you’re more than likely going to have to find an alternative method of cooling your home. Installing ductwork in an existing home can be a significant construction project that is often cost prohibitive. For many years, many homeowners believed that the best solution to cool a house without central AC was to install window air conditioners. However, with the latest technology in ductless cooling systems, these window units are obviously not the best solution.
