I live in Victoria, Texas (2 hrs from Houston) in an old house without central heat/AC. I am interested in finding out if there are folks around this hot and humid area who have used these split systems and how they liked them?
Split System A/C in Humid Areas Good Idea?
A split system is the cross between a central unit and a window unit. It will cool and dehumidify the room that it is installed in just as with a window unit. The size of the unit must be right so it can handle the heat load but it must not be too large or it will cool the room too fast and shut off and start up too soon with the flow of warm air coming from other rooms or areas that are not cooled. If good air circulation is provided it can cool several rooms just as with a large window unit. It is best to have the unit sized by a professional especially if you have cooling several rooms with one unit in mind.

With a "split system," the condenser is outside the house and the fan-and-coil system are inside; they're connected to each other by pipes that carry refrigerant. If you have a forced-air furnace, the refrigerant pipes are connected to a cooling coil system fitted into the furnace air handler.
