Mini splits enhance your home in various ways, from providing a more eco-friendly heating and cooling method to maximizing comfort levels. Their myriad of benefits makes them some of the most popular HVAC systems to invest in and install. They work for your home and a range of spaces spanning from apartments and office buildings to storage units and RVs. However, can mini split systems bring fresh air into your home?
Do Air Conditioners Bring in Fresh Air From Outside?
As the weather outside starts to heat up, you’re thinking about all the fun summer activities. If you’re like most people, a necessary part of summer is having a nice, cool air-conditioned home. While you may know how to turn on your air conditioner, there may be many questions that you have about how it works.
A common question that people have about air conditioners is if they take in fresh air from outside. The simple answer is that they don’t. You do have outside components to your air conditioning system. But, there is no direct opening for air from the outside to enter your home. The air that you feel coming out of the vents inside of your home is air that was already inside of your home. That existing air has recirculated throughout your AC system.
How Mini Splits Improve Air Quality?
So if mini splits aren’t ventilating fresh air, how do they improve your indoor air quality? All mini splits contain a filer in the AC unit. The AC’s filters trap any impurities in the air collected as the system takes in the room’s heat energy and releases the hot or cold air back into the room. On top of using filters, adding additional air purifiers like UV disinfection further improves and refines your air quality.
How To Get Fresh Air Into Your Home
Breathing in fresh air provides many benefits, especially to your mental well-being, such as improved mental clarity and stimulated positive emotions. Opening your doors and windows allows the outdoor air to circulate through your space, providing you with some of the perks of spending time outdoors. However, keep in mind that fresh air can also bring in pollen, pollutants, and other irritants.
Although mini split systems can’t bring fresh air into your home, they still provide you with cleaner and improved air quality on top of their long list of other advantages. Whether you install a classic wall mount or ductless air conditioning roof mount, equipping your space with a mini split system ensures you receive maximum comfort. You get ideal room temperatures and minimal allergens and toxins in the air. The natural fresh air comes from outside, and the mini splits provide indoor comfort and temperature control.
