If it's time for your air conditioner (AC) to be replaced, and now, you are considering the many different options that are available. Rather than just replacing the AC, you may want to consider improvements that will help your makeover your entire system. Here are some energy-efficient solutions that will help makeover your HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system when doing an AC replacement.
1. Affordable and Energy-Efficient Solutions with Ductless AC
There are many different solutions for efficient AC installation, but few of them are as affordable as ductless AC systems. Ductless systems can be installed in areas like additions or used as a replacement to conventional systems. The advantage of ductless AC is that they can be installed quickly and cost less. In addition, modern mini-split ductless systems offer solutions for zoned air conditioning.
2. Evaporative Cooling and Hybrid Systems for Efficiency in Dry Climates
In dry climates, evaporative cooling is an efficient alternative to conventional HVAC systems. These systems work by cooling the air through the process of evaporation, but they due not work as well when it is humid outside. Hybrid systems or combos use a combination of evaporative cooling and conventional AC to provide you with the most efficient solution to keep your home cool and comfortable during the hot summer months.
3. Geothermal HVAC For More Efficient Heating and Cooling Design
Geothermal HVAC systems have been around for decades and are still a great solution to consider for an energy-efficient heating and cooling solution. These systems work by using the geothermal energy in the Earth for thermal exchange, which reduces the amount of energy that is used by your air conditioner or furnace. If you want more of a conventional HVAC solution, you can talk to your AC installation service about geothermal options.
4. Heat Pump AC Design for Efficient Cooling and Heating for Mild Winters
The latest HVAC designs have heat pumps to provide energy efficient cooling for your home. The heat pump works much like the conventional condensing unit of your old AC, but also offers an energy efficient solution for heating your home. If you live in an area with mild winter weather, heat pumps can be an energy efficient solution.
These are some energy-efficient solutions that will help makeover your HVAC when doing an AC replacement. If your AC is old and outdated, contact an HVAC installation service and talk to them about some of these options.
