\"AC-Unit-Outside-Summer\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The bad news is that your air conditioner needs to be replaced. The good news is that you\u2019ve never had so many options for cooling your home. It\u2019s quite possible that there\u2019s a better option for cooling your home than the outdated AC that hasn\u2019t been serving you well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step in any AC replacement is researching your options and knowing what you want. Let\u2019s go over all of the options there are for cooling your home. We know that the thought of a new air conditioning installation in Colorado Springs<\/a> is a stressful one but we\u2019re here to make the process as easy as possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Split Central Air Conditioners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Traditional central air conditioning systems are the kind that most homeowners have in their homes. This tried and true method of cooling a home is the one people usually know about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a reason why they\u2019re so well known. These whole-house AC systems use ductwork to distribute cooled air throughout your home. They\u2019re dependable and affordable when it comes to upfront installation costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what are the drawbacks? Central air conditioners are reliant on air ducts to distribute the cooled air. The quality of your ductwork contributes to the efficacy of the system. Ductwork is prone to wear and tear and leaks can allow conditioned air to escape the system and for pollutants to make their way in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can decrease your indoor air quality (IAQ) as well as cause poor energy efficiency. Some homeowners don\u2019t have the room for ductwork or want to avoid the hassle of installing air ducts into an existing structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ductless Mini Split Systems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ductless ACs have some things in common with traditional split central air conditioners. They consist of an outdoor unit that houses the compressor. They blow air from which the heat has been stripped throughout your home. However, the outdoor unit connects to multiple wall-mounted blowers which cool different areas of the home independently of one another.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The various air handlers connect to the outdoor unit via a conduit, which contains the necessary power, refrigerant, and drainage lines. If you have a central AC and are concerned about what\u2019s involved with the installation of a ductless system, it usually requires a small 3″ hole to be drilled into the walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The genius of the ductless system lies in its versatility and your ability to really control your home comfort. You don\u2019t have to cool your entire home. You can choose to cool down only certain rooms. This setup is ideal for people who work from home and only need their office cooled down on weekdays. Or if one person runs hotter than other people in your household, they can adjust the thermostat to their bedroom only.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heat Pumps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A heat pump is a 2-in-1 system that\u2019s capable of both heating and cooling a home. This is a great option if you know that your furnace is declining and is due for replacement. Heat pumps can be ductless or utilize ducts (in fact, the mini split is essentially a heat pump).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A heat pump cools and heats your home by transferring thermal energy from the outside using a refrigeration cycle. Heat pumps are more energy efficient than central ACs because they run solely on electricity. They\u2019re also an eco-friendly option because they don\u2019t burn fossil fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
