Installing Air Conditioning In Your Home
Posted on: 8 September 2017
It can be pretty miserable in a hot home, and if you do not have an air conditioner, you may be miserable a lot in the hot summer months. Nobody should have to go through a day in their own home and suffer through temperatures in the high 80's in their own home. Not only is that type of temperature miserable, but it can also be a health hazard. The good news is it can be fixed with an air conditioning system. There are a few different options when it comes to air conditioning:
Window Unit
If a full on central air conditioning system is simply not in the budget then you may find that a window unit is the best option for you. A window unit will be installed in one of the windows in your home. The advantage of the window unit is that it will cool the air in one of the rooms in your home, and it is relatively inexpensive. A window unit really needs to be installed properly to ensure a tight seal around the unit. If you do not have adequate carpentry skills, you may want to hire a professional to install the unit for you.
Central Air With Ducts
If you have a heating system in place with ducts, it is possible that the plumber will be able to tie into those same ducts for the air conditioning. The technician or plumber will inspect the air ducts and ensure that they are sufficient for use with central air and that there is no damage that has been done to the air ducts. Once the inspection of the air ducts has been performed the installation can take place. The benefits of a central air system are that it will cool the entire home.
Central Air Without Ducts
If the home does not have any air ducts, then the air ducts will need to be installed. This is a very big project and can take a long time. If you are wanting to have air conditioning for a summer, it is recommended that you have this process done in the early spring. Since the process has much more material and much more labor involved you can expect to pay a lot more for your air conditioning. However, once you have air conditioning in your home you will no longer have to sweat out those long hot summer days.
