Air Conditioning

When it comes to keeping your home comfortable through those hot summer months, having some sort of air conditioning system in your home is a must. However, you may not be aware of just how many options there are out there when it comes to air conditioning products and services. Before you go out and choose one of these systems, you should learn a bit more about them from the experts at Apple Heating & Cooling so that you can make an informed decision.

Central Air Conditioning

The most common type of home air conditioning is central air. With this type of air conditioning, there is a forced air system consisting of a blower unit, often a gas furnace, and a system of ductwork. A cooling coil is installed in the ductwork and there is an outdoor unit mounted beside the house. They are connected with copper lines that move the refrigerant back and forth. Central air conditioning is very popular throughout the Greater Cleveland OH area. Apple Heating & Cooling is the area’s top company for central air conditioning installation.

Ductless Split Air Conditioning Systems

Ductless split and mini-split systems are relatively new types of air conditioners that have been growing in popularity in recent years in the Greater Cleveland, OH area. As their name implies, these air conditioning systems manage to cool your home without needing ductwork for the cooled air to pass through. This is of particular benefit if your home doesn't already have ducts installed or if there simply is no room for them even if you wanted to put them in.

A ductless split AC system is made up of an outdoor compressor and at least one indoor unit that can be mounted on your wall or ceiling. These indoor units are connected to the compressor through a refrigerant line and take care of circulating and cooling the air in the room they're installed in.

These ductless systems have many benefits, including a greatly reduced installation cost because there is no need to put in ducts. Mini-splits are available for small spaces, such as one or two rooms, and can also be expanded to create up to eight separate climate zones in your home. This gives you a much more refined level of control than you would have with most traditional, duct-based systems. These air conditioning units are generally very energy efficient as well.

Packaged Air Conditioning Systems

This type of system is commonly used for manufactured home and mobile homes. The unit is self contained and sits on a pad beside the home, with ducts coming to and from the unit, tying into the existing duct system.

Air Conditioner Sizing

Most air conditioning systems are over-sized. This is a problem because one of the most important functions of an air conditioner is to remove humidity from the home. The only time an air conditioner is removing humidity from the home is when it is running. The problem with over-sized air conditioners is they run a short time and cool the home down, then shut off before they have done a good job of humidity removal. This can lead to “cold and clammy” like in a cave, instead of cool and crisp like a properly sized unit. An over-sized unit also uses excess energy. To make sure your air conditioner is sized properly, insist your contractor use ACCA Manual J heat gain calculation to size your unit correctly.
