Air Conditioning
• The most common HVAC system, it is split into two separate units. One for heating, and the other for cooling.
• These HVAC systems feature an external cooling mechanism that utilizes compressors, refrigerants, and coils to lower the air temperature, accompanied by a fan to expel hot air. Essentially, these are the outdoor air conditioning units typically operational during the summer season.
• The hybrid HVAC system has similarities with split systems but also important differences. It features a hybrid heating system, which helps lower energy costs,
and homeowners can customize
the key distinctions to meet their specific needs.
• This system relies on conventional ducts and thermostats, extending all the benefits of a split system while also delivering the added advantage of energy conservation and reduced utility costs.
• A duct-free or mini-split system, though having a higher upfront cost, offers tailored benefits for specific needs, making it a practical alternative to traditional ducted HVAC systems in less conventional spaces.
• Duct-free units are placed directly in target areas of a home, with up to four indoor units per outdoor unit. This setup allows for individualized temperature control, making it a suitable choice for hotels and venues.
• A packaged HVAC system, situated on the roof or near the foundation, houses all components like the compressor, condenser, and evaporator in a single unit. It efficiently caters to both heating and cooling requirements for a home.
• Due to its compact size, the packaged HVAC system is suitable for space-limited homes. It's highly efficient and low-maintenance. However, its heating capacity is typically better suited for warmer climates.

• Water pooling around the unit or leaking through the ceiling
When should I replace my unit?
Some basics to look for when determining to replace your unit include:
• Your unit is older than 10-15 years
• Your energy bills are increasing
• You've had several repairs
Can I make my unity more energy-efficient?
Changing the filter regularly, closing rooms and windows that are not in use, and using ceiling fans to circulate air throughout your home help in your unit's efficiency.
How often does my AC need maintenance?
This depends on the type of unit you have, but we suggest having a pro look at your system twice per year.
