Is your Louisiana home due for a new air conditioner? Perhaps it\u2019s just not delivering the cooling power you need in our hot and muggy weather or even worse\u2013it\u2019s broken down completely and you\u2019re faced with an expensive repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We understand that no homeowner looks forward to the day when their AC requires replacement. However, there is a silver lining to this cloud: you now have a lot more options for air conditioners than you did 10 years ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When considering AC installation, you might be tempted to go with the cheapest version of the last system you bought. However, by spending a bit more and doing a little more research, you may find that there\u2019s a different type of system that\u2019s better suited to your needs. You can stop Googling \u201cair conditioning installation near me<\/a>\u201d and find out your options right here and now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Central Air Conditioning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most Louisiana homeowners have a central air conditioner and it\u2019s probably the kind that\u2019s in your home right now. That\u2019s because a central AC is considered the \u201cgold standard\u201d when it comes to cooling a home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re determined to get a new central AC, it\u2019ll help to know about recent advancements that have been made. You\u2019ll need to choose an efficiency rating that is designated by SEER2 or the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The higher the SEER2 rating, the more energy efficient it\u2019ll be, but that also means these units are more expensive to purchase upfront. You\u2019ll need to take into account the fact that a more energy-efficient air conditioner will cost you fewer energy bills the longer you have it. Consult us when choosing a SEER2 rating for your new central AC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Some Louisiana homeowners believe that a heat pump cannot sufficiently cool down their homes in the summer. However, this is untrue. It helps to think of a heat pump as an air conditioner. They use the same technology, but the only difference is that a heat pump can switch modes to also provide heating. Heat pumps are a great option if you know that you will also need to replace your heater soon. Ducted heat pumps have a similar setup to a central AC with both an indoor and outdoor unit and also come in different SEER2 ratings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ductless Mini Splits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When a heat pump doesn\u2019t use ducts, it\u2019s a ductless mini split system. Although there are some ductless mini splits that only provide air conditioning, most are heat pumps that provide both heating and cooling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their setup is different from ducted heat pumps. There\u2019s still an outdoor unit, but there are multiple inside units instead of just one. These individual units are called air handlers. They are mounted on the walls of the various rooms of your home. As you can imagine, this provides incredible customization of which rooms are cooled and heated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to choosing a new AC, there are a lot of options that\u2019ll restore your home to a cool oasis. Don\u2019t hesitate to contact us about choosing the best system for your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
