Refrigerated Cooling Systems For Your Home

Air conditioners are a blessing in hot climates.  Not only do they cool your home, but many dehumidify and filter the air as well.  The two most common types of air conditioning systems for the home are evaporative and refrigerated cooling systems.  Both can be designed to cool just a single room or an entire house and can be controlled by a thermostat.

Evaporative air conditioners, or swap coolers, work well in dry desert regions like Phoenix, Arizonian.  However, if you had purchased, say a Fort Worth new home in Texas, you will need to use a refrigerated cooling system for your home. Refrigerated units are categorized by room air conditioners that fit into a wall or window and central air conditioning. Central air conditioning is the most common type of home cooling systems.  Thought the initial purchase price is higher, central air conditioning is generally more efficient, quieter, and less costly in the long run than an individual room unit.  In a home without forced warm-air heat, a central air conditioner can be a single unit that is installed next to the house with the condenser and compressor outdoors and the evaporator and blower inside.

It’s important that your refrigerated cooling system properly maintained and if necessary, professionally served to keep your energy cost low.  To ensure efficient operation of your refrigerated cooling system, you will need to clean the filter every month during the cooling season; make sure to replace the filter as necessary. Check the condensate drain for clogs and keep the condenser and evaporator coils clean.
