Air conditioning [View All]

[Chalco]

My house was built in 1935. No air conditioning. We have 2 window units but after we had to cut down the LARGE maple with southern exposure the house has been unbearable. So...my neighbor, the architect, recommended I look into the Unico system which puts small tubes through the walls and lots of air outlets in rooms. Anyway, the estimates ranged from 15 - 17,000 dollars. I decided it was too much.

I hate window air because it's so noisy. So I don't want to just add more of them.

I then discovered the ductless split air systems. So I wondererd about putting 4 of them in, 2 upstairs and down on one back side of the house and 2 upstairs and down on the front side of the house. Has anyone experience with this? From what I can tell the price would be a lot less primarily because the installation doesn't take as long. Unico installation took one week. Split air takes 1/2 a day. I like the split air option because it is quiet as well.

Any thoughts?
