Planning air conditioning in the cottage is best still at the construction stage, when there is the possibility of communications. The air conditioning system will be cheaper, the installation process will not be disturbed.
The choice of air conditioners for the cottage rests on three indicators:
- a type;
- power;
- brand.
Type of cottage air conditioning system
The following types of climatic equipment are most popular:
- wall split systems, including multisplits;
- ducted air conditioners;
- multizone systems.
Stencils are an inexpensive way to condition a cottage.
But for a multi-room house is not the most convenient. After all, each room will have to install its own air conditioning.
Multisplits - for one outdoor module there are several internal ones. That is, you can do with one air conditioner for a medium-sized cottage. The equipment works quietly, the main noise is made by the outdoor unit, which is mounted externally. The air temperature in each room can be set different. Up to 9 indoor modules are connected to one outdoor module.
Duct air conditioners for cottages
Ducted air conditioning systems for cottages are widely used in America and Europe. The indoor unit is built in under the false ceiling, ventilation ducts are distributed from it around the house.
The advantage of the systems is the possibility of mixing fresh air from the street, while simultaneously providing room ventilation. The system serves several rooms.
Channel air-conditioning systems for cottages have only one significant minus: additional expenses for broaching ventilation ducts.
Multizone conditioners
Optimal comfort in a large country house with multi-zone air conditioners. The biggest advantage of this air-conditioning method in cottages is the ability to lay long communications between the modules. Therefore, external units can be installed in any convenient place.
Several dozens of internal ones are connected to one outdoor unit, which can be of different types (wall, cassette). At the same time, they can simultaneously warm some rooms and cool others, which does not allow other air conditioning systems.
The temperature differences in the rooms are only 0.5 degrees, which is impossible to provide with other types of climatic equipment.
Multizone systems simultaneously heat, condition and ventilate the premises. However, they consume less electricity than other systems of similar power.
