Is central air conditioning a good investment?

Central air conditioning (or central A/C) is a system in which air is cooled at a central location and distributed to and from rooms by one or more fans and ductwork. The work of the air conditioner compressor is what makes the whole process of air conditioning possible. The compression of the refrigerant gas enables it to discharge heat out of the house, which is how the cool air is created.

Read on to learn more about central air conditioning.

Types of central air conditioners

Two types of central air conditioners exist: a split system or a packaged unit.

Split System

In a split-system central air conditioner, an outdoor metal cabinet contains the condenser and compressor, and an indoor cabinet contains the evaporator. In many split-system air conditioners, this indoor cabinet also contains a furnace or an air handler. The air conditioners evaporator coil is installed in the cabinet or main supply duct of this furnace or heat pump. If your home already has a furnace but no air conditioner, a split system is the most economical central air conditioner to install.

Packaged Unit

In a packaged central air conditioner, the evaporator, condenser, and compressor are all located in one cabinet, which usually is placed on a roof or on a concrete slab next to the house’s foundation. Air supply and return ducts come from indoors through the home’s exterior wall or roof to connect with the packaged air conditioner, which is usually located outdoors. Packaged air conditioners often include electric heating coils or a natural gas furnace. This combination of air conditioner and central heater eliminates the need for a separate furnace indoors.

Installation and Location of Air Conditioners

If an air conditioner is installed correctly, it should perform efficiently for years with only minor routine maintenance. However, many air conditioners are not installed correctly if a lousy contractor is hired to do the job. This is why you should use Isocool qualified technicians to avoid having issues that will cause your new modern energy efficient air conditioner to function as poorly as older inefficient models.

There are several things to consider when installing a central air conditioning system, be sure that your contractor:

• Allows adequate indoor space for the installation, maintenance, and repair of the new system
• Ensures there are enough supply registers to deliver cool air and enough return air registers to carry warm house air back to the air conditioner
• Installs duct work within the conditioned space, not in the attic, wherever possible
• Seals all ducts with duct mastic and heavily insulates ducts
• Locates the condensing unit where its noise will not keep you or your neighbors awake at night, if possible
• Locates the condensing unit where no nearby objects will block airflow to it
• Verifies that the newly installed air conditioner has the exact refrigerant charge and airflow rate specified by the manufacturer
• Locates the thermostat away from heat sources, such as windows or supply registers.

Benefits of a central air-conditioning system

Let’s answer the big question, is central air conditioning necessary or why do you need it? To best way to answer this question is by exploring some of the benefits which central air conditioning provides.

1. Indoor comfort during warm weather – Central air conditioning helps keep your home cool and reduces humidity levels.
2. Cleaner air – As your central air-conditioning system draws air out of the rooms in your house through return air ducts, the air is pulled through an air filter, which removes airborne particles such as dust and lint. The filtered air is then routed to air supply ductwork that carries it back to the rooms.
3. Quieter operation – Because the compressor-bearing unit is located outside the home, the indoor noise level from its operation is much lower than that of a free-standing air- conditioning unit.
