Common Questions and Concerns

If you are considering installing a central air conditioning unit in your home, you may want to know the basics of install, cost, and how it works.

Below we will list some common concerns and questions so you don’t have to feel so out of the loop when considering home cooling.

For convenience you will want to find a nearby HVAC professional, so do your research on local contractors to find the ones with good reviews, as they may be the ones taking care of all your air conditioning concerns for years to come.

What About Cost?

The system and install could start anywhere from $5,000 depending on these factors.

How Long Will It Last?

Typically, central cooling systems last up to ten years before any replacement is needed but can continue for up to fifteen years with proper maintenance and care. However, if after a while your mini split stops working, and things start to sputter out, its likely worth it to invest in a replacement system.

How Does it Work?

Because air conditioning can be a complicated system to explain, we will break it up into parts and briefly explain how these different parts work together to cool your home.

Ducts: The ducts are what carries the air around your house. Ducts carry the hot air from your home to be cooled and then carry the cool air back into your rooms quietly and evenly.

Registers: Each room will likely have at least two registers, one that connects to a supply duct for cold air, and one to a return duct for warm air. These registers are generally located near the ceiling and floor respectively and let the air from the ducts flow through your rooms.

Air Handler: This indoor unit contains an expansion valve which will turn refrigerant into the cool liquid that flows through coils and warms it into a gas to go back to the condenser.

Condenser: This outdoor unit takes warm refrigerant gas and converts it back to a liquid as a fan cools the coils.
