When we first decided to rent this house we were a bit taken aback by the fact that it didn’t have a traditional heating and cooling system.
We have always rented houses with forced air systems.
They always had ductwork and vents where the heated or cooled air would get into the house. We also always make sure that our homes have central heating and air. No window units or wall heaters for us. Thank you very much. So we found this house online and it said it had a multi split system for heating and cooling. I didn’t know what that was and I asked. It turns out that a multi split system is like a traditional HVAC system except that it doesn’t have any ducts. A multi split system has little hoses that run from the heating and cooling system into the air dispensers inside of the house. The best part about this is that each of the dispensers have their own thermostat. So the entire house is zone controlled. I really like that however I might have been a bit dishonest. That actually isn’t the best part. The best part is that multi split systems use a lot less electricity than traditional HVAC systems do. This is because they work differently and just don’t need so much power to get hot or cold air. It is also because less heated or cooled air is lost in the hoses than would be lost in ductwork. So it is a win-win. Needless to say, we decided to rent the house and we couldn’t be happier.
