How to Choose the Best Home AC System

Summers in Texas are scorching. There's no getting around it; they're just warm, hot, and occasionally uncomfortable. Many homeowners are looking into cooling options to help them deal with the impending heat. But which is the best home air conditioning system? To be honest, there is no simple answer to this question, which is why we are sharing the four most common AC systems, what they are, and their benefits and drawbacks.

Portable AC Units

There are only a few instances when a portable air conditioner should be used. If you are renting a room where a window unit cannot be installed, or if you need to cool a small, specific area. Portable air conditioners are simple to use and operate; all you have to do is plug it in. On the other hand, they only cool a small area and are extremely energy inefficient.

Central Home AC System

For most homeowners, the most popular option is a central home air conditioning system. The central system will cool your entire home evenly and shares a duct system with your furnace. The central air conditioning system has numerous advantages. One advantage is that it evenly cools every room in the house while also being extremely energy efficient. It's almost completely silent, you won't even notice it's on, and investing in a cooling system increases the resale value of your home. One of the only disadvantages is the cost, but We provides many financing options to our customers.

Ductless or Mini-Split AC System

For homeowners who do not have existing ductwork, a mini-spit home AC system is the best option. These systems are compact and comprise two components: an indoor evaporator and an outdoor condenser. The mini-split system was designed for older homes, add-on units, and smaller homes. There are many advantages to this until and, fortunately, only a few disadvantages. The mini-split AC system allows for adjustable temperatures in every room of the house while also being very energy efficient. It's quiet and can even heat up. The main disadvantage is that some people may dislike the aesthetics of a wall unit.
