What air conditioning system type is best for my home?
Our air conditioners from brands like Bryant, Lennox, Mitsubishi, Rheem and Amana have a lot to offer. What’s the best brand for you? That will depend on your climate and home’s amenities…

• Central Air Conditioners
  For homes with existing ductwork and a furnace, boiler, fireplace, or other heat source, standalone central air conditioning systems offer cost effective cooling comfort, installing virtually invisibly without distracting from your home’s décor. Split systems are the most common type of central A/C, circulating refrigerant between an indoor unit (housing the coil) and an outdoor unit (housing the condenser and compressor), then distributing conditioned air via a mechanical blower through ductwork and into your home. Newer models offer vastly improved efficiency over those just several years old, however proper sizing and ductwork installation by an A/C company you can trust is integral to efficient operation.
• Heat pumps
  A sub-type of central HVAC systems, in moderate climates, heat pump systems offer multi-functional heating and cooling. Typically used for cooling about 7 months per year, these systems operate by transferring warm air to where it is needed – or in the case of the summer months, not needed – by exchanging heat to move warm air outside in the summer, and inside in the winter.
• Ductless
  Ductless systems (also called mini-splits) from brands like Mitsubishi, consist of an outdoor component that sits next to your home, and an indoor component that mounts on the wall. If you live in a hot region and need to cool a large area inside your home, a ductless system may be a good fit for you. These systems are also a great option for older homes without existing ducts, as instead of ductwork, they use tubing to connect parts (electrical, drainage) and circulate refrigerant, only requiring about a 3 inch hole for tubing hidden behind each indoor unit. They are among the most efficient cooling options available today as no cooling is lost to leaky ductwork in unconditioned space. Multiple, programmable cooling units can cool up to 8 rooms (4 units) per system, offering efficient, zoned temperature control.
• Geothermal system
  Operating much like standard air conditioners, geothermal systems tap into thermal energy in the earth, taking advantage of more constant temperatures to keep your home comfortable. Highly efficient, these systems move air out of (or into) your home, transferring heat via polyethylene pipes filled with water. Bentonite grout surrounding these underground pipes maximizes thermal conductivity. Pumps in your home circulate the water through the pipes in the thermal unit, transferring or absorbing heat from the refrigerant in the system depending on the season, then distributing it with the help of a compressor and ductwork to meet your comfort needs.
