One of the things I care about about my home is that all of us have a porch connected to the home that leads into the backyard.
The porch is a room within our house, however our central Heating plus A/C plan does not extend to it.
It can get entirely frigid in the winter, however all of us just keep it closed off during that time of year. Up until this point, all of us have not had any air conditioning on the porch. However, as our kids get older plus have friends over more often, the porch is used more plus more often. My hubby plus I have decided that all of us want to add some form of supplemental air conditioning that all of us can use when it is needed, however that all of us won’t have to run consistently care about our central air system. The two of us are unsure of whether or not all of us should get a ductless mini split or a portable a/c. A ductless mini split is more fancy, however it is designed to cool a particular room, it does not need to be near a window, plus it is a higher quality machine. That being said, all of us don’t necessarily need anything fancy. A portable a/c is affordable, more powerful than a window unit, plus it can be moved around if all of us ever need to put it somewhere else. I’m not sure which method of air conditioning all of us will pick, however all of us want to make a decision before the Summer starts.
