Installing an air conditioning unit that is too big or too small for your space will not deliver the optimal comfort you are seeking. It can lead to expensive repairs and maintenance and mechanical problems. But there’s no need to worry, Ellis Air Conditioning and Heating will help you through the process.
How an Air Conditioning Unit Works
Although AC units come in all shapes and sizes, they all work by the same process. They draw humidity and heat from your home and replace it with cooled air using a refrigerant. There are three mechanical components that make this happen. These are a compressor, a condenser coil, and an evaporator coil. Together, they keep your home cool during the hot summer months in Texas.
What Are Your Options?
Ellis Air Conditioning and Heating will go over three popular options for your Texas home. Each one comes with its own benefits.
Central Air Conditioning
This type of system is the most popular one in the industry. It can keep an entire house cool, it’s whisper-quiet and nearly invisible. Apart from that, it is also energy-efficient and will raise the value of your home. The temperature is controlled with a thermostat that is usually installed on a wall. A central air conditioning system is made up of one or more fans and a series of ducts that carry air to and from rooms.
The compressor and condenser coil are located in an outside unit, and they connect to an indoor unit that is fitted with an evaporator coil.
Ductless Mini Splits
If you have a smaller home, ductless mini splits are cost- and enery-efficient. This ac unit is great if you want to cool additional rooms, such as the garage, an attic, an office room, a sunroom, etc.
This system is made up of an outdoor condenser unit. The evaporator is housed in separate wall-mounted units. This allows for zoned room-to-room temperature control. That way, everyone in your household can adjust the thermostat to their preference. These systems offer great filtration, which makes it easier to breathe in your home.
High-Velocity AC
This type of ac unit is great for older or historic homes that don’t have any existing ductwork. If your home radiates heat, but you don’t want to compromise your home’s architecture, then this is the perfect solution. In this system, the air moves from the outdoor compressor to a single hidden unit that pushes the air at high velocity to multiple vents. Installation is fast and easy since your home will not need to be renovated to suit a high-velocity ac unit.
