While tropical weather can be beautiful, the heat and humidity make ACs an essential in many homes. Although there are several styles to choose from, it can be challenging to know which system is best for your space and needs. If your house doesn’t have a unit yet, use this guide to help you decide.

Homeowner

If you’re a homeowner seeking the greatest convenience, get a central system. This unit pipes chilled air through a network of ducts and distributes it to every room in the house. If you’re seeking the lowest environmental impact and cooling costs should go with a ductless split air conditioner system. Cooling occurs right inside the room, so the system doesn’t require a series of ducts to be installed.

Convenience & Efficiency

Central and ductless systems can feed up to four indoor units with a single outdoor unit, allowing family members in different rooms to decide their optimal temperature. Any unoccupied areas can be left uncooled, saving you money on utility costs. You can also set the temperature for the entire home through a central thermostat, which you can program to power down when the house is unoccupied.

Renter

If you’re a renter, your best AC option is a window unit. This fits in a window opening, cools the room effectively, and vents hot air outdoors through the back of the unit. These devices are affordable, easy to install, and portable. Unlike other air conditioners, you can remove it and take it with you when you move out of your current apartment.
