I'm looking at buying a home that has no central air conditioning. The home is 1,900 square feet and strangely enough has two boilers. Does anyone have real world experience with mini-split air conditioning?
I hate window airs due to cost of operation, noise, and just dealing with them sticking out of windows. There is no way to add forced air to the house so mini-splits are the only reasonable option I know of. Are they more or less expensive to run than traditional central air conditioning? I have such a sensitivity to hot humid air that I would never own a house without air conditioning. I expect the cost of mini-splits would probably be as much or more than the cost of adding contral air to a house that just has a forced air furnace.
