What Type of AC System Is Best?
Every customer—and every home—is different. Numerous factors may determine the type of AC system that’s best for your home’s comfort needs. Below, you’ll learn about the most common types of air conditioning systems and the situations to which they are suited.
Central Air Conditioners
Most homes with ductwork and furnaces can accommodate central AC. Here, the furnace’s air handler sends conditioned air throughout the home. The central air conditioning systems of today are much more efficient than those installed just a few years ago, and they use more eco-friendly refrigerants that don’t harm the ozone layer.
Mini-Splits
Sometimes referred to as ductless AC systems, mini splits are ideal for homes with baseboard heating or no ductwork. As implied by the name, mini split ACs don’t use ducts to cool homes. Spaces such as room additions, converted garages, and finished basements are right for ductless systems. These ACs are easy to control and highly efficient, which makes them a popular choice among today’s environmentally conscious homeowners.
Heat Pumps
While it may seem counterintuitive to cool your home with a heat pump, the process is quite efficient. Heat pump systems offer a great combination of heating during tough winter days, as well as the cooling you need on hot summer nights. The technology behind heat pumps has come a long way during the past few years, and now these units work great even in cold areas. Heat pumps are an efficient and eco-friendly choice for home cooling.
