Central Ac

Central air conditioning is a convenient cooling method. One central air unit does the job of several window air conditioners. You might consider switching to a newer model if your current unit is more than 12 years old. Energy Star reports you can reduce cooling costs 30 per cent by using a central air unit stamped with the Energy Star seal of approval.

Central air conditioning systems are available in two types: a split-system unit and a packaged unit. A split-system unit consists of two parts. The first half is a metal cabinet that contains a compressor and condenser. The cabinet sits near the home but is on the outside. The second half is a metal cabinet that sits inside the home and contains an evaporator.

Central air conditioning units are usually matched with a gas or oil furnace to provide heat through the same set of ducts. Even though central air conditioners and heat pumps require the use of some different components, they both operate on the same basic principles. Information Provided by Consumer Energy Centre.

Central air conditioning systems require yearly maintenance. Serious problems, such as if the unit stops cooling, usually require the help of a contractor.

Your central ac and heating system relies on the ductwork to distribute the air efficiently throughout your entire home. That's why it is important to ensure that the ductwork is in good condition with duct testing services. Central air conditioners are better than the room air conditioners. Central AC can't be forgot if there is a concern for malls, galleries, big halls, huge spaces etc. The compressor, condenser and evaporator are grouped together. The unit is then situated on the roof or on a concrete slab that sits near the foundation of the home.
