Choosing an Air Conditioning System
When it comes to comfort, every household has different needs. Since living without air conditioning can be dangerous in high heat, most households need an air conditioning installation. However, many homeowners wonder which air conditioning system is right for them. Central air conditioning and ductless cooling are popular options for indoor comfort, and this post will discuss their differences, benefits, and a few additional types of air conditioners.
The Benefits of Central AC Systems
Central air conditioning systems evenly distribute cool air throughout each room in the home through air ducts. Because these ducts are hidden away out of view, central AC systems have the benefit of being nearly invisible inside the home besides the air vents.
These systems are also easy and more affordable to install if there is existing ductwork. Because central air systems have ducts, they also integrate easily with indoor air quality products, like air cleaning and filtration systems, dehumidifiers, and humidifiers, which can be used with the ducts to service the entire home.
The Benefits of Ductless AC Systems
A ductless mini-split air conditioning system doesn’t require ductwork, so they are great options for homes without the space for air ducts. Instead, it has indoor air-handling units mounted on the wall, and each unit controls the temperature of a single room or zone. This gives residents more control over the comfort and temperature of individual rooms.
A major benefit of installing a mini split AC system is the efficiency and energy bill savings it can provide. This is because of the lack of air ducts and the ability to save energy on cooling rooms or zones that aren’t being used. So, although they are more expensive to install, they can save on monthly utility bills.
Other Air Conditioners
Alternative air conditioning options are available besides these two popular options, such as portable and window AC units. However, these options are ineffective ways to cool an entire house since they only cool a single room at a time. Although they are affordable options if only a single room needs cooling, the price adds up quickly if homeowners have to purchase a unit for every room.
They also have some other downsides. Portable air conditioners take up floor space and can make a space more cluttered, while window air conditioners are installed in a window, so they block natural light and don’t allow the window to be opened. So, if homeowners are looking for an air conditioning system for their entire house, they would be better off choosing between central and ductless air conditioning systems.
