Anyway you look at it, central air conditioning systems are a much better home cooling option than separate window units for separate rooms. Central air systems are quieter, more energy efficient, healthier and aesthetically pleasing than even the best window units.
Central air conditioning systems have two elements: an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The outdoor unit cools air and sends it indoors, where the second unit circulates it through your home. As this occurs, the unit draws room air through return-air ducts. This air passes through a filter that removes airborne particles such as dust, lint, and microscopic pollutants. The filtered air is then routed to air supply ductwork that carries it back into all rooms.
The effects are significant when compared to window units or even older central air systems:
Lower annual energy costs – New air conditioning systems are nearly twice as efficient as most older systems, which can save you thousands of dollars annually.
Lower initial purchase costs – NSTAR customers qualify for up to $500 in rebates per system for ratings of 14-SEER and above, and manufacturer rebates are often available.
Improved indoor air quality – Due to continuous return-air duct filtering. Quieter operation – Up to 40 times quieter than other systems, with the unit running outside of your home.
Better environmental responsibility – Units now use R410A refrigerant, which is responsible for ozone and meets the regulations of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
If your rooms have no ducts, don’t despair – get a ductless air conditioner!
Sometimes homes have rooms that we simply cannot get ductwork into.
That doesn’t mean you have to put up with a loud window unit you have to take in and out every year.
We recommend a ductless air conditioning system, like the one described below. Ductless systems can be the perfect cooling solution for:
- Guest houses
- Music studios
- Garage apartments
- Computer and telephone rooms
- Lofts
- Small offices
- Efficiency apartments
- Small two-or three-room homes
