A sunroom provides a sanctuary infused with natural lighting, lush plants, and other features, but perhaps one of the greatest attributes is its protection from bright sun, high wind, heavy rain, and other harsh weather conditions. Therefore, it's so important that a sunroom also feel comfortable. To ensure a temperate and inviting sunroom, there is a variety of heating and cooling options that may be suitable for your sunroom.Best Heating and Cooling Options for a Sunroom
Air Conditioner
An air conditioner is a great choice for keeping a sunroom temperate cooler during the spring and summer months. Air conditioners can be purchased as separate outdoor units or as window units.
Duckless Systems
Unlike traditional duct systems that pipe air or heat throughout your home, duckless systems allow for an open, even dispersal of air. Duckless systems are an excellent choice for a sunroom since often plants and other vegetation benefit from an even temperature.
Heat Pumps
Heat Pumps are a financially-friendly option for a sunroom since they essentially transport air from one location to the other, instead of altering the air itself to produce warm or cool air.
Furnaces and Boilers
Basically, furnaces and boilers are used to provide heat using two very different methods. Furnaces heat air, and ducts transport it throughout the house using a duct system. By contrast, boilers warm the air using the steam collected from boiling water. Again, these systems will provide an even temperature.
Tankless Water Heaters
For plumbing options for a sunroom, a tankless water heater provides efficient, on-demand hot water, thus eliminating the need for cumbersome storage tanks. Tankless water heaters are also more cost-efficient since there's no need to store water at preset temperatures.
Fireplace
Finally, a fireplace is a cozy addition to a sunroom that is both attractive and cost-efficient. A fireplace heats quickly and is a great choice for a direct, powerful heat source.
