When it comes to cooling your home or business, there are a variety of air conditioning systems available. Central air conditioning is by far the most popular option, as it is based on an outdoor unit that sucks in warm air and cools it with a coolant. Packaged systems provide both heating and cooling in a single unit, and are usually installed in an attic or on the top floor of a house. Ductless mini-split air conditioners don't require ducting, as they have an air conditioner or heat pump outside that connects to units in the home.
Heat pumps are a type of split system that use the functions of heating and cooling in the home, while portable air conditioners are perfect for mobile homes, RVs, and vacation properties. Central air conditioning is the most common type of air conditioning found in homes today. This model works best in warmer climates, as it typically doesn't provide as much heat as a traditional oven. However, there are advanced combination options that use gas and electricity to supply more heat, as well as heat pump or dual fuel options.
With central air, the air supply enters and circulates through the supply and return ducts. This allows for greater control and a more efficient way to control the temperature and operating cost of the system. Split systems are usually seen in smaller homes, as they have an outdoor unit connected to a wall. The main benefit of this type of air conditioner is that it can effectively control the climate inside a smaller home.
To ensure optimal performance, it is essential that the system be serviced regularly. A packaged system provides both heating and cooling in a single unit. They are usually installed in an attic or on the top floor of a house and are used as an option when traditional split systems are not an option. They work best in warmer climates, as they typically don't provide as much heat as a traditional oven, but there are advanced combination options that use gas and electricity to supply more heat, as well as heat pump or dual fuel options. Ductless mini-split air conditioners don't require ducting because they have an air conditioner or heat pump outside that connects to units in the home that handle cooling that is introduced from the outside.
You can control the temperature of an entire house or just a room by controlling the air handlers in each specific area. This allows for greater control and a more efficient way to control the temperature and operating cost of the ductless mini split air conditioner. Heat pumps are a type of split system that use the functions of heating and cooling in the home. They transfer heat from the earth and carry it to your home during the winter, while reversing the process and sending warm air below the ground to return as cold air in the summer. The lifespan of a heat pump will also be shorter than that of an air conditioner, since it works all year round. Portable air conditioners are perfect for mobile homes, RVs, and vacation properties.
All packaged systems contain a blower to force treated air into the home and draw untreated air into the system.
