The machines we cool our homes with come in several types including the portable window unit which provides room level comfort, the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) system that provides whole house comfort and the ductless systems that provide zone area comfort. Which of these is best for you will depend on the home you are in and how many rooms it has. For example, a small loft or apartment can usually get by with just a medium sized window unit to cool the rooms. However, you may still need a fan to blow the cooler air between the various rooms.

The HVAC is probably the most commonly used cooling system in the country. This is partly because many homes feature this type of cooling equipment when first constructed. It is also one of the most common appliances used in home Air Conditioning Install and Repair Mattituck NY. The HVAC system is a split unit with an external condenser for compressing the refrigerant that cycles through the home and an internal cabinet that houses the furnace, evaporator coil and blower. It cools the home by transferring heat collected around the evaporator coil through the refrigerant to a coil in the external cabinet where it is released into the atmosphere. Sort of like a giant heat exchange system.
The other common household cooling system is the split or ductless cooling unit. This system works very similar to the HVAC with an external condensing unit but it uses several different zone based cooling units. This type of system allows the homeowner a little more control over the room temperature and allows them to have separate temperatures in different areas. This allows you to quickly cool down the bedroom or turn up the A/C in the living room before you go to bed. Of course, all of these systems still require regular maintenance and repairs. This is especially true regarding maintenance because without regular maintenance the machine will break down and need many repairs that could have been avoided.
