Central air conditioning can not only lower temperatures throughout a house, it also dehumidifies and filters the air, leaving it cleaner and more comfortable to breathe.
- Adding central air conditioning to an existing forced-air heating system can typically be done by two technicians in a matter of days, with little or no change to the existing ducting. (Estimates for older, smaller homes with no existing duct work will depend on the type of equipment installed and the amount of space available for installing ducts and vents).
- Most central air conditioning systems are a split system, with the noisiest, heat-generating components installed outdoors. An evaporator coil, installed indoors, is connected to a blower (often part of a furnace) which distributes the cooled air through the home's vents. Another option is called a packaged central air unit; the condenser, compressor and evaporator are all in a cabinet which is installed on the roof or next to the house.
Routine maintenance on your cooling system ensures proper operation. Maintenance should be scheduled annually before the cooling season.
Air Conditioning service includes, but is not limited to: Cleaning dirt, leaves and debris from unit, check for proper refrigerant levels (adjust as needed). Inspect coil and clean as needed. Clean or replace air filters. Full unit inspection including drain lines, motors, electrical units, fans, etc.
Many other preventative maintenance services in addition to the above are provided depending on which type of system you own.
Small, indoor units are hung discreetly high on the wall. An outdoor unit is installed and connected to the indoor unit with refrigerant piping that runs through the ceiling. No ductwork is needed and you won't lose window space!
