There are exceptionally few places where you can survive year-round without home air conditioning. If you’re adding a system to your home, it’s important to choose the right option. Many homeowners pick central air systems because of the many benefits they offer. Below is a full breakdown to help you with your decision.

Reasons to Install a Central Air System

1. Combined Heating & Cooling

If you rely on a window unit during summer, that means you have to depend on a space heater during winter. Mini-splits and heat pumps may provide heating and cooling, though the heating is usually supplemental. A central air system delivers both options and is much stronger than window units and space heaters. This means only buying one appliance to serve all your needs.

2. Superior Filtration

Central air systems use industry-leading filters to deliver you the freshest possible air. These filters capture allergens, pollutants, contaminants, dirt, debris, and more, and the filters further in your ductwork provide a second, advanced layer of protection.

3. Space Saving

Most central A/C systems are installed outside of a home, so you won’t have to worry about them taking up space the way a large window or in-wall unit would. An HVAC contractor will usually tuck them discretely next to your utility meters, and you can add a fence or partition to further keep them out of view.

Inside, ductwork will be hidden in the attic and ceiling, and air will be ejected through small, non-invasive vents position on the ceiling, floors, and walls.

4. Smart Integrations

Window units, heat pumps, mini-splits, and other central air alternatives are typically limited in their functionality. Central air systems can connect with smart features, such as a smart thermostat, that allow you to better program on and off cycles, control them remotely, and monitor your energy use. This goes a long way toward creating a more comfortable home and reducing utility bills.
