Buying an apartment

Although, it’s a lot better than having something clunky sticking out your window that you have to install and take out every year

Earlier this year, I bought an apartment within a larger building. This apartment is in a great location and is quite spacious. However, the downside is that it’s a pretty outdated space. I knew that I was taking on a big project when I bought it, but if I can update the unit, it will be worth a lot of money some day. I knew that there was no air conditioning, but I didn’t realize that I would have to put in all the ductwork if I wanted to add central air. I realized that it was going to be too big of a project, and I would have to find another method for air conditioning. I considered using portable air conditioning systems and window units, but I really wanted the place to have a more permanent cooling system. After I did a little research, I learned that there was another solution. I could get ductless mini split air conditioning units that mount on the walls. The ductless mini split just needs to connect to an outdoor compressor. I wasn’t thrilled about having something clunky mounted on the wall. Although, it’s a lot better than having something clunky sticking out your window that you have to install and take out every year. Once I got the ductless mini splits installed, I realized that this was a great solution. The air conditioners work very well, and I am happy with the results.
