Our hotel that we are staying at this weekend has a ductless mini split heating and cooling system. Before we came here, I had never even heard of that type of heating and cooling system before. I guess it’s a newer type of unit that they are starting to use in different hotels here and there around the country. We travel a lot, and so I was a little bit surprised that I had never run into that sort of heating and cooling system before now. When we first got into the hotel room, I thought that we had a regular forced air heating and cooling system. I was looking for it underneath the window where heating and cooling systems are normally placed in hotel rooms. At least, that is how it has normally been for us in hotel rooms up until now. You can probably imagine my surprise when I saw that there was no heating and cooling system in there at all. There wasn’t even a thermostat on the wall anywhere. I just thought that was super weird at first. But then I started wondering if every room in the entire hotel was controlled by a central thermostat somewhere. I thought that would be terrible! I like to be in control of the heating and cooling at all times. You can just ask my husband. I will not let him touch the thermostat at home, either! Finally I called down to the front desk and that’s how I found out that we had a ductless mini split heating and cooling system with a remote control.
