Transcript
I'll tell you what. It's freaking hot out here. My name is Bert, and I'm gonna build my house. So I went on to Angie, and within a couple minutes, I found a local HVAC professional to come hook me up with some AC units. Oh, you guys got her up there already? Yes, sir. So there are a few reasons why I went with mini splits versus forced air. One of them being the mini splits are a lot more efficient. And then two, with eliminating ductwork, you don't have all these spots where best, better hair, mold, bad things for you to be breathing in and blowing around your entire house. So you eliminate that with mini splits. So if you're like me and burning up in this heat, head over to Angie and find a local pro to help you out.
