Central air conditioning systems put the noise outside, where it belongs.
If your house doesn't have central air conditioning, chances are you're either making do with portable, window-mounted units or you live close to the Arctic Circle. Most homeowners find that sooner or later, a central air conditioning system becomes a priority.
With central AC, the noise of window-mounted AC units is eliminated, you can use your windows, and the hassle of removing and reinstalling each unit as the seasons change goes away.
Improved comfort and energy efficiency are other important benefits you'll enjoy with central AC. Dr. Energy Saver's mission is to bring these advantages to as many homes as possible. Contact your local Dr. Energy Saver to discuss central AC and your home!
If your house already has a forced-air heating system, you're in luck. The same ducts that supply your house with heated air in the winter can deliver cool, dry air from your central AC system in the summer.
The most common type of central AC systems is a "split" system that places the compressor and condenser outside the house and the cooling coil in an air handler inside the house. Copper lines carry refrigerant to and from indoor and outdoor units. A skilled crew can connect a new central AC system to an existing forced-air system in just 2-3 days.
Installing new air ducts requires more time and money, but it’s not as daunting as many people think. That's because the AC system's air handler and ductwork can often be installed in the attic. The availability of flexible ducts is another factor that can simplify the installation and save time. If duct runs need to extend between floors, a "chase" can usually be created in the back of a closet to keep the ductwork hidden from view.
*The ductless alternative Ductless mini-split systems offer an attractive alternative to ducted AC. Because there are no ducts, conditioned air isn’t lost in transit. In addition, these systems tend to be highly efficient. Several air handlers, located in several rooms, can all be run off a small outdoor compressor.
