Central Air Conditioners
These are the most common in larger homes. A central AC system uses ducts to distribute cool air throughout the house and is excellent for consistent temperature control across multiple rooms. While installation may be more involved and costly upfront, the payoff is powerful, even cooling.
Ductless Mini-Split Systems
Perfect for homes without ductwork, ductless AC units are efficient. A mini-split system includes an outdoor compressor and one or more indoor air-handling units. Zoned cooling makes them a perfect energy-saving solution, especially for room additions, basements, or garages.
Window and Portable Units
These AC varieties are the go-to for apartments or renters. They’re easy to install and move, and are best suited for small areas. While affordable, they don’t offer the same energy efficiency or aesthetics as built-in systems.
Hybrid and Geothermal Systems
For homeowners interested in long-term energy savings, hybrid systems (which combine gas and electric power) and geothermal options are worth considering. Though pricier upfront, they provide impressive efficiency and environmental benefits.
Each home is unique, and so are its cooling needs. Whether you’re looking into different types of AC or exploring AC varieties for a new build or retrofit, consulting with an HVAC expert can ensure optimal performance and cost-effectiveness.
