Unit needs a new compressor
Recently added more space to your home
Unit not cooling the house to your preferences
What types of AC units are available today?
It may be a larger decision to replace an AC unit than you thought. Because of the continuing developments in air conditioning technology, there are more choices for homeowners now. An AC professional can inform you of your options when it comes to a new AC unit.
A split system is the most common type of AC unit, where a unit containing the condenser coil is positioned outside and an indoor HVAC unit with an evaporator coil is inside. Typically, homeowners that already have established duct work choose this type of unit and there are plenty of energy efficient models available. In mild climates, heat pumps are popular, and there are geothermal heat pumps for use in colder parts of the country.
Homes that do not have duct work can choose a mini-split system that does not require duct work to run. Such a system is helpful in lowering the cost if there are some areas that don’t need to have cool air. But if this system is being used for the entire home then this will cost higher than an HVAC unit.
