As and Heating as well as Air Conditioning repair tech, many of our customers- as well as many friends as well as family members- will frequently ask me what style of a/c/cooling plan is best.
- My safe answer is almost always “it depends”.
It depends due to the fact that it matters what your cooling needs are, what level of upkeep you’re willing to maintain and, of course, how much you are planning to pay. There is of course the classic a/c unit. This is a tried and planned cooling choice that has a 30-year lifespan. As I’m sure you already know, this is the most regular form of cooling choice across the country as well as the planet. You can never go wrong with the classic cooling system. Another option, easily similar to the usual cooling system is the heat pump. Despite its name, the heat pump is a cooling choice. In all honesty, the classic cooling system is a form of a heat pump. A heat pump is just a component that moves warm air (cooling systems only move heat outside of the house). A heat pump, in the cooling since, works exactly the same way. However, a heat pump has the added perk of giving you the chance to pump heat the other direction as well (inside, not just outside). In mid to warm weather conditions, a heat pump is a great choice for folks. Heat pumps, since they do have a dual purpose, tend to have half the lifespan of the classic cooling system. The lifetime, most extravagant option, is the ductless a/c. Ductless or multi split a/c is the most affordable as well as long-lasting option, but it comes at a price. I hope this has been informative for you!
