What Is a Mini-Duct Air Conditioner?
A mini-duct air conditioner is a system that cools an entire home, but requires very little space or carpentry to install. Instead of the wide ducts that traditional systems use, mini-ducts use piping that is small enough to fit almost anywhere; instead of large vents, they use discreet openings that are barely noticeable (some are as small as 2 inches in diameter). Some homeowners that were told that their historic home couldn’t be fitted with central air should ask again, now that this technology is available. Thanks to mini-duct air conditioners, Philadelphia’s classic architecture can now get cooler by the day (in the summertime, anyway).
