What Types of ACs Do We Install?

If you haven’t purchased a new AC model in years, you may be surprised at the different types available. Even when it comes to handling repair and maintenance, these systems have their own special requirements.

Here are some of the options we offer for home cooling so you can get an idea of what your home may need.

Central Air Conditioning

The standard air conditioning system for most homes is the central air conditioner, also known as a split system because half of the unit is outdoors—a condenser cabinet that contains the compressor, condenser coil, and exhaust fan—and it connects to an indoor unit where heat is drawn from the air and then blown into a network of ducts.

Central air conditioning is popular in homes for several reasons:

• Ease of installation: If you live in a home that already has ductwork, the installation of a new central AC is a straightforward job for professionals. We only need to install the outdoor unit and connect the indoor unit to the existing ducts—no need for major modifications.
• Affordability: Central ACs are among the most affordable options for powerful cooling throughout a home.
• Energy Efficiency: Thanks to the current standard for energy efficiency, you can expect to have a central AC that will help you save money summer after summer on your cooling costs.

You can rely on our technicians to ensure you get the right central AC for your needs and that it receives the best possible installation for years of efficient, effective cooling.

Heat Pumps

The word "heat" might make you back off for a second—but trust us, heat pumps are one of the best ways to cool your house. A heat pump does the same job as an air conditioner: it pumps heat out of the house to cool down the air. However, there’s a special trick to heat pumps: they’re constructed so they can change the direction they operate. This means that not only will a heat pump remove heat from your house, it will also move heat into your house, acting as an effective heating system. That’s year-round comfort from a single installation!

Are you worried that the winters in Surf City mean a heat pump has no heat it can draw on from the outside? Put your mind at ease! Our winters may feel chilly to us, but they’re mild to a heat pump. You can expect a heat pump to work at energy-efficient levels throughout the winter, using less energy than other types of central heating systems.

Heat pumps are growing in popularity not only because of their efficiency and dual action, but because they’re beneficial to the environment. We’re happy to help you learn more about joining the heat pump revolution.

Ductless Air Conditioning

If you live in an older house that doesn’t have ducts, or you’re planning a new home and want to save space that would otherwise go to ductwork, then a ductless system may be your best option.

Ductless systems, also known as ductless mini splits or ductless mini split heat pumps, have an outdoor unit like central air conditioners, but they connect to multiple indoor air handlers placed around the house. These air handlers are attached to the walls where they blow cooled (or heated) air directly into the living spaces—no need for ducts!

You might be interested to know that ductless systems can be tremendous energy savers. They don’t gain or lose heat through duct walls and they offer automatic zone control so you only need to heat and cool rooms that need it. A ductless system can also lower the dust in your air, making life easier for anyone in your household who has allergies, asthma, or other respiratory conditions.

AC Maintenance

Do you groan when you hear the word "maintenance?" Yes, it sounds tedious and you think maybe you can skip over it this year. And maybe the next.

But maintenance is an essential part of keeping an air conditioning system working for its full service life, with minimum repairs and maximum energy efficiency. Did you know that every year of missed maintenance can mean your AC loses 5% of its energy efficiency? And missing maintenance also lowers the chance your AC will get to its estimated 10–15 year service life.

We’ll make maintenance easy for you! You’ll enjoy superior AC performance, a long system service life, high energy efficiency, and fewer cooling interruptions when you arrange for yearly maintenance with our team.

Our knowledge and expertise goes beyond cutting-edge technology that can make an enormous difference for your home. Click here to learn more about our expert AC solutions for homes like yours.

Thermostats

A thermostat may seem like a simple device and not that crucial for operating your AC. You turn it down low when you need cooling and turn it back up when you don’t. But the type of thermostat in your home has a major impact on not only your comfort but your energy savings and convenience. Even the switch to a digital programmable thermostat from an old "slider-n-dial" thermostat will make a difference.

We offer technology that truly takes you into the space age such as Wi-Fi thermostats and smart thermostats. You leave your cooling decisions to a device that monitors conditions in your home, learns from your previous settings, and then finds the best way to keep your home comfortable while saving you even more money.

Don’t worry about navigating the choices you have for thermostats. Our experts have the solutions and we’re happy to help you find the best climate controls for your home.

Zone Control

When you switch on a single light in your home, do all the lights turn on? No, that’s silly and wasteful. So why should your air conditioning system work the same way? Because with a standard central AC, this is what happens whenever it turns on—cool air goes to all the rooms, regardless of whether they’re empty or occupied.

You can get around this problem with zone control. Our expert technicians can outfit your HVAC system to put you in control of how you cool your home. Send cooled air only to occupied rooms, or change room temperatures to match the specific requirements of one of the zones. Each zone has a local thermostat to control its temperature, so you’ll eliminate the "thermostat wars" of your household fighting over how to set the temperature.

VRV/VRF Systems

This is the leading edge of air conditioning technology—variable refrigerant volume (VRV) and variable refrigerant flow (VRF) units. These are the air conditioning systems you want to look at if you’re committed to saving energy and enjoying a level of even comfort that wasn’t possible before.

VRV/VRF systems can alter how much they work depending on indoor conditions. With other ACs, the system is either cooling or it’s not—just plain "on" and "off." VRV/VRF can ramp up and down, using less energy when there’s an opportunity. This constant regulation of output not only saves energy, it removes annoying temperature fluctuations in the house and lowers the noise from the AC. You’ll enjoy better living and lower costs for cooling.
