For these homes, it might seem like having a new central AC installed is impossible. They\u2019ll just have to do with clunky window air conditioning units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this isn\u2019t necessarily true! Adding central air conditioning to a home is not as difficult as you might imagine, and there are several ways our technicians can provide your house with a central <a href=\"\/conyers\/services\/air-conditioning\/ac-installation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AC installation in Conyers, GA<\/a>. You can pitch those ugly and inefficient window units into the recycling yard and enjoy great cooling throughout the rooms of your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What\u2019s Involved in Installing a Ducted AC System?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re going to assume the reason you\u2019re uncertain about getting a central AC added to your house is because your building was constructed without a network of ducts. If you already have ducts installed for a furnace, it\u2019s straightforward for our technicians to put in a central air conditioner while making only modest changes to the rest of the ventilation system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your house doesn\u2019t have ducts, it\u2019s possible for our installers to add them without having to tear apart large sections of the building and intrude too much into the living space. Most of the ductwork can be run through the attic, with downward branches put in spots such as the back of closets. Our technicians are familiar with duct replacement and other duct services and can find the most convenient method to install a central duct system that will work for both air conditioning and heating.\u00a0If you&#8217;re unsure about your options, it\u2019s important to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierishere.com\/blog\/air-conditioning-service\/how-choose-next-ac-system-installation\/\">consider the right AC system for your home<\/a> based on its layout and your cooling needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this might not be your most convenient path to central cooling\u2026&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Considering a Ductless Mini Split for Your Home?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many owners of older homes have chosen ductless mini split heat pumps for both heating and cooling. As the name implies, these systems don\u2019t use ductwork at all, and they\u2019re flexible installations that work in a variety of situations.\u00a0In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierishere.com\/blog\/air-conditioning-service\/is-a-ductless-hvac-system-a-good-fit-for-my-home\/\">ductless HVAC systems are a great fit for many homes<\/a> that can&#8217;t easily accommodate new ductwork and still want consistent comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ductless mini splits operate similarly to standard central air conditioners, except instead of having a single indoor unit that pushes air into ducts, the outdoor unit connects to a series of indoor air handlers located around the house. These mini air handlers are mounted up on the walls, often over windows, and contain a blower fan and a refrigerant coil. They send cooled air directly into the space. One outdoor unit can handle from 4 to 8 indoor units, enough to give your house the cooling coverage it needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because ductless systems are heat pumps (although there are \u201ccool only\u201d options), they work as both air conditioning <em>and<\/em> heating systems\u2014and they\u2019re highly energy-efficiency compared to electric furnaces. Because they lack ducts, these systems experience far less heat loss and heat gain, and have the extra benefits of 1) never needing duct cleaning or duct repair, and 2) providing zone control cooling and heating so you can shut off units in rooms when they\u2019re not needed without affecting the others.\u00a0For homeowners focused on cutting energy bills, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierishere.com\/blog\/air-conditioning-service\/high-efficiency-acs-explained\/\">high-efficiency ACs like ductless systems<\/a> offer both environmental and economic benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We install the finest in ductless systems, and we can help you with other cooling solutions for your house.
