Central Air Conditioners

Central air conditioners are intended to cool the whole house. In every system, a large compressor unit situated external drives the cycle; an indoor coil loaded up with refrigerant cools air that is then circulated all through the house by means of ducting.

 

ADVANTAGES OF CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONERS

  • Consistent Temperature All Through Cooling Season
  • Filtered Air
  • Possibility for Heating/Air Conditioning Combo

DISADVANTAGES OF CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONERS

  • Higher Energy Bills
  • Duct Maintenance
  • Need For Ductwork

Room Air Conditioners

Room air conditioners are accessible for mounting in windows or through walls, however for each situation they work the same way, with the compressor situated outside. Room climate control systems are measured to cool only one room, so a number of them might be needed for an entire house. Individual units cost less to purchase than central systems.

 

ADVANTAGES OF ROOM AIR CONDITIONERS

  • Do Not Require Installation
  • Can be Moved From One Room to Another
  • More Affordable
  • Can Be Hidden

DISADVANTAGES OF ROOM AIR CONDITIONERS

  • Unwanted Noise
  • Less Economical
  • Have to Empty the Drain Tanks Regularly
  • Not Effective to Cool Very Large Rooms

Evaporative Coolers

Evaporative coolers, sometimes known as swamp coolers, are more uncommon than vapor compression (refrigerant) air conditioners, however they are a useful option in extremely dry regions, like the Southwest. They work by getting new external air through moist pads where the air is cooled by dissipation. The cooler air is then circulated through a house. This process is very similar to the experience of feeling cold when you get out of a swimming pool in the breeze. An evaporative cooler can bring down the temperature of outside air by as much as 30 degrees.

 

ADVANTAGES OF EVAPORATIVE COOLERS

  • Cheap to Run
  • No Exhaust Vent Required
  • Ecologically Friendly
  • Better Internal Air Quality
  • No More Dry Air
  • Indoor and Outdoor Use

DISADVANTAGES OF EVAPORATIVE COOLERS

  • Humidity Stops Evaporative Coolers Cooling
  • Not an Air Conditioner

Ductless Mini-Split Air Conditioners

Mini-split systems, extremely well known in different nations, can be an appealing retrofit choice for room augmentations and for houses without ventilation work, for example, those utilizing hydronic heat. Mini-splits parts utilize an external blower/condenser and indoor air handling units. The thing that matters is that each room or zone to be cooled has its own air handler. Each indoor unit is connected to the outdoor unit via a conduit carrying the power and refrigerant lines. Indoor units are ordinarily mounted on the wall or roof.

 

ADVANTAGES OF MINI-SPLIT AIR CONDITIONERS

  • They are small in size and flexibility for heating and cooling individual rooms
  • Units can be zoned
  • Much easier to install than a traditional central HVAC system
  • Avoid the energy loss associated with forced air systems
  • More flexibility in interior design options
  • Higher security
  • More energy efficient since energy is no longer being lost in poorly insulated ductwork

DISADVANTAGES OF MINI-SPLIT AIR CONDITIONERS

  • Cost - mini split systems cost approximately 30% more than a traditional forced air equipment
  • Aesthetics - some do not like the appearance of the indoor components inside the home
