Why Use A Central Air Conditioner: 5 Key Benefits
When temperatures rise to unbearable levels outside, you want your home to act as a cool retreat on the inside, right? Is your current air conditioner ready to rise to the challenge when the heat of summer is in full swing this year? Chances are, if you don’t have a properly functioning central air conditioning system, the answer is no. But don’t worry, we can help! See below to find out why you may want to switch to a central cooling system this season. After all, there are lots of benefits when you compare it with some of the other cooling options on the market.
1. They Make Less Noise Than Other Cooling Options
Tired of dealing with that annoying buzzing or humming sound your window air conditioner makes? Well, with a central air conditioning system, there’s virtually no noise aside from a low whooshing of cool air coming through the vents. Since the condenser, fan and compressor are all located in a large unit outside of the house, you’ll barely even notice when the system is running.
2. They Don’t Take Up Lots Of Space
Aside from having a few ducts run through the ceiling or the attic, central cooling systems really don’t take up much space at all. The largest part of the system is located outside which is a major place if you don’t have a ton of square footage inside the house.
Even though ductwork will take up some space, chances are, you weren’t going to use that space anyway. After all, there’s not much you can do with most of the attic space anyway, so why not put it to good use?
3. They Cool The House Evenly
Window air conditioners and ductless hvac systems are great for one area of the house, but they’ll never be able to cool down an entire home all at the same time. In order to accomplish that feat without a central air conditioning system, you’d have to install multiple window air conditioners throughout the house or have a few ductless systems installed and even then, there will likely be “warm spots” throughout the house.
Lots of systems today even incorporate zoned cooling capabilities so that you can set certain areas of the house to specific temperatures, while keeping other areas warmer or cooler depending on personal preferences. Can your window air conditioner do that?
4. They Are Compatible With Smart Thermostats
Worried about running up energy bills with a central cooling system? Don’t be. Just about every system on the market today is compatible with smart thermostats to give you more control over the entire system.
With a smart thermostat, you can set specific temperatures for different times of the day and the thermostats even have the ability to learn your family’s comfort preferences so that the system works efficiently to keep you cool and comfortable all day and night.
5. They Have Multiple Functions
Most central air systems out there aren’t just for cooling. In fact, most double as heating systems as well. This means you can heat and cool the house with one system rather than using window air conditioners in the summer, having to take them out and store them in the winter, and then fire up the radiators in order to stay warm during the colder months.
When the heat of the summer is in full swing, you had better hope that your air conditioner is ready to rise to the challenge of keeping your home comfortable throughout the hottest time of the year.
