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