The temperature of your home plays a major role in your personal comfort level. Therefore, your HVAC system serves an incredibly important job! According to ComfyLiving, 57% of the HVAC systems currently sold are split systems. With the right system, air conditioning repairs can be kept to a minimum and you can enjoy a comfortable home environment year-round!

If you're in the market for a new AC or HVAC system, you've come to the right place. Home cooling systems are available in a number of different types. Finding the right ones for your needs may take a bit of research, but it's definitely worth the time and effort. Let's take a closer look at some of the most popular home cooling system options.


Central Air Cooling Systems


One of the most popular and effective cooling systems is the central air option. The compressor system is located outside, thus keeping noise and dust to a minimum inside your home. It's connected to air ducts and is disbursed through vents. This allows each room to have some control of the temperature as the vents can be opened or closed depending on the desired amount of cold airflow. In larger homes, central air systems are often set up in "zones" to give residents more control over the temperature of their homes.


Split System Units


As mentioned above, these systems are also very popular. They are referred to as "split" because the compressor and condenser are located outside and the evaporator is located inside in a cabinet. The cabinet will also have the heat pump or furnace that's used to heat the home. This option is especially common when a homeowner wants to add an AC system to their home, piggybacking on their furnace system.


Window or Room AC Units


When you live in an area that doesn't require central AC or a split-system unit, a window or room AC unit is often sufficient. While these units may not be as reliable as other options, they are affordable and don't require expensive maintenance or air conditioning repairs. If your home remains relatively cool during the day but heats up too much to sleep comfortably, a portable unit may be a good solution.
