Best Heating & Cooling Options for a Sunroom
February 15, 2021
Looking to add to your home or beach home and want to know what heating and cooling options are available? You’re in the right place!
As Atlantic County residents, you know how hot summers can be and how chilly winter can get. You need heating and cooling options to suit your comfort needs all year long.
Here are some common ways to heat at cool your South Jersey sunroom:
Central Air Conditioning and Heating
If your home or beach home has existing central air, it may be possible to simply use your existing AC, heater, and air handler for your sunroom or addition. If your home has ductwork, you can extend that into the sunroom to cool and heat the room like you would the rest of your home. You could also install a separate thermostat to save money on heating and cooling if it’s closed off or a room that you won’t use frequently. To use your existing central air, have a certified HVAC technician come to assess your system to ensure it can handle the extra load.
Ductless Mini Split Systems
Mini split systems are great for sunrooms and additions to homes because they do not require extensive ductwork and can be operated separately from the rest of your home. You can use multiple ductless units to create heating and cooling zones to meet your comfort needs and lifestyle.
Portable Heating and Cooling
In addition to window air conditioning units, there are portable options like movable air conditioning units and space heaters. There are even models that can both heat and cool and only have a small exhaust vent instead of a bulky and unsightly window unit. While there are many portable options on the marketing for heating and cooling, often this isn’t the most effective method and might cost more to operate as it uses more electricity. Portable options might not also keep an even temperature like central air or ductless systems would.
