A Basic Rundown on Air Conditioner Types

Air conditioners in Upstate New York are a must for keeping your home comfortable in summer. Regardless of whether you ultimately choose to install a central or ductless air conditioner, you’re getting a great deal and superior home comfort with either one. With that in mind, we can determine which model will be more compatible with your home and budget. Although they have a lot of similarities in terms of home comfort, here’s a quick breakdown of the major separating points between central and ductless A/C units:

Central A/C

• Whole-Home Cooling
• Even Airflow Distribution
• Requires Ductwork

Ductless A/C

• Zoned or Whole-Home Cooling
• Supplementary Heat Function
• No Ductwork Required

Let’s Get Technical: Air Conditioner Anatomy

Get out your notebook for a brief anatomy lesson! Both central and ductless air conditioners consist of two parts: a condenser to pull warm air from outside your home, and an evaporator (air handler) that blows cool air inside your home. But here’s the difference: with central A/C, only one evaporator is needed because cool air is circulated through your ductwork and is released into every room of your home. With ductless A/C, you may have one or many evaporators that connect to your outdoor condenser, and each evaporator only cools the room it lives in.
