What Types of ACs Do We Install?

If you haven’t purchased a new AC model in a while, you might be surprised by the various types available today. Each system has its own specific requirements for maintenance and repairs.

Here are some cooling options we provide to help you understand what might suit your home:

Central Air Conditioning

The central air conditioner, often referred to as a split system, is the standard choice for most homes. This system has an outdoor unit—a condenser cabinet containing the compressor, condenser coil, and exhaust fan—that connects to an indoor unit that extracts heat from the air and distributes cooled air through a network of ducts.

Central air conditioning is popular for several reasons:

  • Ease of Installation: If your home already has ductwork, installing a new central AC is a relatively straightforward process. We just need to place the outdoor unit and connect it to the existing ducts, without any major modifications.
  • Affordability: Central ACs are among the most cost-effective options for providing powerful cooling throughout a home.
  • Energy Efficiency: With modern energy efficiency standards, you can expect a central AC to help you save on cooling costs year after year.

You can count on our technicians to ensure you select the right central AC for your needs and to provide the best installation for years of efficient, effective cooling.

Heat Pumps

The term "heat" might make you hesitate, but heat pumps are actually one of the best solutions for cooling your home. A heat pump functions like an air conditioner by removing heat from the home to cool the air. However, heat pumps have a unique capability: they can reverse their operation. This means they can also transfer heat into your home, serving as an efficient heating system. You’ll enjoy year-round comfort with just one installation!

Worried that Wilmington’s winters may lack sufficient heat for a heat pump? Rest assured! While our winters may feel chilly to us, they are mild for a heat pump. You can expect a heat pump to operate efficiently throughout the winter, using less energy than other central heating options.

Heat pumps are becoming increasingly popular not only for their efficiency and dual function but also for their environmental benefits. We’re excited to help you explore the advantages of joining the heat pump movement.

Ductless Air Conditioning

If you live in an older home without ductwork, or if you’re building a new home and want to save space, a ductless system could be the ideal choice!

Ductless systems, also known as ductless mini splits or ductless mini split heat pumps, feature an outdoor unit similar to central air conditioners, but they connect to multiple indoor air handlers placed throughout the house. These air handlers are mounted on the walls and deliver cooled (or heated) air directly into living spaces without the need for ducts!

Ductless systems are excellent energy savers as they don’t experience heat loss or gain through duct walls, and they allow for automatic zone control, meaning you only need to heat or cool rooms that are occupied. Additionally, a ductless system can reduce dust in your air, benefiting anyone in your household with allergies, asthma, or respiratory issues.

AC Maintenance

Do you cringe at the mention of "maintenance"? It may sound tedious, and you might think about skipping it this year or even the next.

However, maintenance is vital for keeping an air conditioning system functioning at its best, minimizing repairs and maximizing energy efficiency. Did you know that each year of missed maintenance can lead to a 5% decrease in your AC’s energy efficiency? Additionally, neglecting maintenance reduces the likelihood that your AC will reach its expected service life of 10–15 years.

We’ll make maintenance easy for you! With our annual maintenance services, you’ll enjoy superior AC performance, an extended system lifespan, enhanced energy efficiency, and fewer cooling disruptions.

Thermostats

Thermostats from Gideon Heating & Air Conditioning

A thermostat may seem like a basic device that isn’t critical to your AC’s operation. You lower it when you need cooling and raise it when you don’t.

However, the type of thermostat in your home significantly influences your comfort, energy savings, and convenience. Even upgrading from an old "slider-n-dial" thermostat to a digital programmable model can make a difference. We also offer advanced technology, such as Wi-Fi thermostats and smart thermostats, which take your cooling decisions to the next level. These devices monitor your home’s conditions, learn from your previous settings, and determine the best way to maintain comfort while saving you even more money.

Don’t worry about navigating the options for thermostats. Our experts have the solutions you need and are happy to assist you in selecting the best climate controls for your home.

Zone Control

When you turn on a single light in your home, do all the lights illuminate? Of course not—that would be inefficient. So why should your air conditioning system work the same way? With a standard central AC, this is exactly what happens: cool air is distributed to all rooms, regardless of occupancy.

Zone control provides a solution to this problem. Our skilled technicians can modify your HVAC system to give you control over how you cool your home. Direct cooled air only to occupied rooms or adjust temperatures to meet the specific needs of different zones. Each zone is equipped with its own thermostat for temperature control, eliminating the "thermostat wars" that often occur in households.

VRV/VRF Systems

At the forefront of air conditioning technology are variable refrigerant volume (VRV) and variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems. If you’re committed to energy savings and seeking a level of comfort previously unattainable, these systems are worth considering.

VRV/VRF systems can adjust their output based on indoor conditions. Unlike traditional ACs that operate in an all-or-nothing manner, VRV/VRF systems can ramp up or down as needed, using less energy when possible. This constant regulation of output not only conserves energy but also minimizes annoying temperature fluctuations in your home and reduces noise from the AC. You’ll enjoy a more comfortable living environment and lower cooling costs!
