The Maryland HVAC contractors at Presidential Heating and Air recently published a blog describing the different types of air conditioning systems available to homeowners. Choosing the right type can make your home more comfortable.

Certain types of air conditioners serve different purposes or work best in homes of a particular size. Choosing the right air conditioner for your needs will help you more efficiently cool your home, making you and your family more comfortable during hot summer days. It can also save you money, as you'll use less electricity and fewer additional fans to keep cool. Having the wrong type of air conditioner in your home could also cause you to accidentally push it to its limits, causing breakage and necessitating costly repairs or replacement. It is therefore important to choose the correct air conditioner prior to installing one that may not be sufficient.

Window air conditioners are simple and commonly used to cool single rooms. They can be manually or digitally controlled and are available at most hardware stores. However, they are not particularly efficient. A split system is quiet and unobtrusive. They contain inside and outside units and do not require major installation. A ductless mini split system, which requires more extensive installation, is less vulnerable to leakage and can be used for individual rooms, however, they have poor energy efficiency. Central air conditioners are the most common type for cooling entire homes. The air is circulated through an enclosed space and flows back into the system when it is warm. Depending on the size of your home, this type of air conditioning can use a large amount of energy. Before you select a new air conditioner, consider your homes needs and consult a professional for guidance.
