Types Of AC Units

Air conditioners are one of the most essential parts of your HVAC system, as it plays a primary role in cooling down your home or office space. Not every air conditioner is the same, and some models work better than others for certain spaces. When choosing an air conditioner, you want to consider budget, energy consumption, space requirements, and cooling power.

Central Air Conditioner

Central air conditioners are perfect for larger homes. The main advantage of a central air conditioner is that it can cool multiple rooms at once, as long as each of those rooms is connected to the air ducts. So, you can enjoy a more regulated and comfortable environment throughout your home.

Ductless Mini-Split

A ductless mini-split unit is an excellent option for those seeking direct control of cooling down a room. Ductless mini-split systems are usually more energy efficient as well. People are drawn to this type of air conditioning system because professionals can install it anywhere without the need for ductwork.

Modulating AC

Modulating air conditioners are one of the most efficient heating and cooling systems on the market. The system automatically adjusts its output to match the temperature requirements of your space. Plus, adding a modulating AC to your heating and cooling system optimizes the other components of your HVAC system!

Window Air Conditioner

Window air conditioners are a single unit that blows cool air into a room while ejecting heat through the outer part of the system. Plus, window air conditioners are one of the most affordable options on the market. Window air conditioners are also easier to maintain and have lower upfront costs, saving you money.

Portable Air Conditioner

Portable air conditioners work similarly to window air conditioners. The main difference is that you can move your portable air conditioners between rooms depending on which space you want to cool. Individuals favor portable air conditioners because there’s no permanent installation involved, and you can move the unit around.

Floor-Mounted Air Conditioner

Floor-mounted air conditioning units are perfect for the elderly or people with respiratory problems. In addition, due to the air conditioning unit being installed close to the ground, users can check the air filters and change them with ease to ensure they’re breathing the highest quality air possible.

Hybrid Air Conditioner

Hybrid air conditioners contain a system that utilizes a gas furnace and an electric air-source heat pump. The system pulls hot air from inside your house during the summer and expels it outside. During the winter, the system works in reverse. This option is excellent for those who want to lower their carbon footprint and minimize the cost of utility bills.

AC Installation FAQ

When should I consider upgrading my system and installing a new air conditioning unit?

On average, a well-maintained air conditioner usually lasts for about 15 years. If you’ve had your air conditioning system for about this long, it’s a good time to consider a replacement.

Is it better to have an AC unit with a higher or lower SEER?

SEER, or seasonal energy efficiency rating, measures how efficient your air conditioning unit is. It’s calculated by taking the cooling output of your system and dividing it by the energy used. The higher the number, the more efficient your system. Air conditioners with a higher SEER typically cost more upfront, but their monthly cost is more affordable.

What seer rating should I look for when purchasing an AC unit?

Well, starting January 1, 2023, any new AC installations must meet the new SEER2 requirements. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is improving their testing methods and “SEER” will become “SEER2”. The U.S. Department of Energy hopes this will increase the efficiency of residential systems and help reduce energy loss across the country.

Can central air conditioning be installed in any home?

If you’re willing to spend the money and invest in ductwork, central air conditioning can become a part of your home. However, if looking for a more affordable air conditioning system and not wanting to install air ducts, the Polar Bear Mechanical team can assess your space and provide alternative ductless cooling options.

Is hiring professionals for an AC installation worth it?

We highly recommend hiring professionals to handle your AC repairs and installations. Extensive knowledge is required to handle the complexities of air conditioning units correctly. An incorrectly installed unit may result in poor efficiency, lack of durability, and a decrease in the system’s lifespan.

What are some of the benefits of installing a new air conditioner?

After the Polar Bear Mechanical team installs your new air conditioning unit, you’ll notice that your home can easily reach your desired temperatures. With a new, efficient system, you’ll most likely see lower energy bills because your air conditioning unit will no longer have to work so hard to cool your space.

There are a variety of sizes to choose from, what size air conditioner should I pick?

Our licensed HVAC specialists will take into consideration multiple factors such as the size of your space, average outdoor climate, and the number of windows you have to figure out the best air conditioning system that will meet your needs.

Why are your AC prices higher than before?

In 2021, the heating and cooling industry experienced some of the most significant price increases in its history. A combination of equipment price increases, labor shortages, supply shortages, manufacturing constraints, delivery restrictions, and stricter equipment standards from the EPA has led to us having to increase our prices somewhat. If something is out of your price range, we encourage you to consider our financing options.
