Modular Sun room in Sun City
Modular type sun room in Sun City Arizona.
Many people refers to a Patio Enclosure with a lot of windows as an “Arizona Room”. Arizona Room and/or Sunroom Addition can be any living space that is not used a a bedroom or as a kitchen. Most of the patio Enclosures and Sunroom Additions, in Arizona are being used a recreational space or as an extention to the family room or the living room. One of the frequent question is should the Arizona Room will have a glass roof. A glass roof is not advisable in the Southwest climate. However, it should be under consideration in the Northeast part of the US.
Many years ago, a modular sunroom ( made from glass, aluminum and plastic) was popular and relatively less costly than a standard construction. However, in today’s economy the Modular Sunrooms are very expensive and also, many of the home owners Associations, will not permit the use of the modular system. The main objection is that the modular sunroom system is not consistante with most of the Arizona housing styles.
AZ Enclosures and Sunrooms, developed Arizona Rooms, patio enclosures and sunroom additions that are built on sight and looks identically to the original house. This innovating design and construction cost much less than any modular system and being approved by all Home owners Associations. Furthermore, on site construction provides better energy efficiency than any of the modular systems.
Any new living space, such as room addition, patio enclosure and sunrooms needs a source of cooling and even heating. of of several option is the installation of a Mini-Split ductless system.
Ductless, mini-split-system heat pumps (mini splits) make good option to the addition with “non-ducted” heating systems, such as hydronic (hot water heat), radiant panels, and space heaters (wood, kerosene, propane). They can also be a good choice for room additions where extending or installing distribution duct-work is not feasible, and very efficient new homes that require only a small space conditioning system. Be sure to choose an ENERGY STAR® compliant unit and hire an installer familiar with the product and its installation.
Like standard air-source heat pumps, mini splits have two main components — an outdoor compressor/condenser and an indoor air-handling unit. A conduit, which houses the power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing, and a condensate drain, links the outdoor and indoor units.
Advantages
The main advantages of mini splits are their small size and flexibility for zoning or heating and cooling individual rooms. Many models can have as many as four indoor air-handling units (for four zones or rooms) connected to one outdoor unit. The number depends on how much heating or cooling is required for the building or each zone (which in turn is affected by how well the building is insulated and air sealed). Each of the zones has its own thermostat, so you only need to condition occupied spaces. This will save energy and money.
