What is a Centralized Air Conditioning?
Centralized air conditioning is a relatively new technology in which there is no need to install separate air-conditioners for different rooms in the same house. There is a central location where air is cooled and then distributed to separate rooms with the help of one or more fans and ductwork.
As part of a central heating and cooling system, outside air is used to heat the house in winter and cool it down in summer. It’s installation typically consists of an indoor unit called an air handler and an outdoor unit called a heat pump. A centralized air conditioner is actually a shared system of packaged units.
Benefits of a centralized air conditioning
There are many benefits of centralized air conditioning compared to the traditioning cooling systems:
- Gives cleaner air: A central air conditioner draws air out of the rooms through air ducts. Before the air is distributed everywhere, it is passed through an air filter which removes airborne particles such as dust and lint. There are some sophisticated centralized air conditioners which are able to filter microscopic pollutants, as well.
- No noise generation: As the compressor unit is located outside the house, you experience almost no noise inside your room.
- Reduces humidity levels: A centralized air-conditioning system ensures that you get the best comfort by reducing the humidity level of air.
Types of centralized air conditioners
There are two types of a centralized air conditioning system:
- Split-system central air conditioner
In these types of air conditioners, the condenser and compressor is housed in an outdoor cabinet. But the evaporator is contained in a separate indoor cabinet. Sometimes, there is also a furnace or an air-handler inside the indoor cabinet to make your home warmer. You should install a split-system central air conditioner if your home already has a furnace but no air conditioner.
- Packaged central air conditioner
These are different from split-system central air conditioners in the way that all the units including the evaporator, condenser, and compressor are located in one cabinet. These air conditioners often come with electric heating coils or a natural gas furnace to make your home warmer.
Choosing the right air conditioner for your home is a decision you have to live with, and it is up to you to choose the right one for you.
Centralized air conditioners are very good when it comes to ensuring excellent temperatures throughout the house, compared to limited comfort in some rooms. Having central air conditioning in your home can be a great advantage, especially if you live in an area that heats up in the summer months.
