Coping with summer heat can be difficult without a quality residential HVAC system. A reliable option for many homeowners is central air conditioning, which offers several advantages over window units. If you’re considering hiring a contractor to upgrade your home’s cooling system, keep these benefits in mind.

Why Install Central Air Conditioning

1. Aesthetic Improvement

Window units are bulky and distracting and may take away from the room’s otherwise polished appearance. By comparison, central air systems supply cool the air through ducts already installed in your home. They’re far less obtrusive and contribute to a more streamlined look.

2. Quiet Operation

Central air systems won’t disturb you with loud sounds. Its core components, including the condenser, the compressor, and the fan, are located in the unit outside the home. At most, all you’ll hear is a low hum when the system cycle turns on to cool your home.

3. Better Air Quality

To protect your indoor air quality and minimize the odds of dealing with indoor allergies, all central air systems require air filters. Replacing them every two to three months promotes clean air free of common contaminants, such as dust mites, pet dander, and mold spores.

4. Fast Response

Unlike a fan or a window unit, you don’t have to wait long for a central air conditioning system to cool your home. Once you input a temperature on your thermostat, the unit begins its cooling cycle. Provided there are no problems with the system and assuming it has a clean filter, it will quickly and efficiently meet your needs.

5. Simple Controls

There is a convenience in controlling your residential HVAC with a single thermostat, as opposed to turning the knob on a window unit in each room. All rooms enjoy the same cool, comfortable temperature at once, and you can adjust it easily with the same push of a button.
