As for air conditioning options, there are two types of home cooling systems that work well for those hot Ontario summers: Central AC systems, and Ductless Heat Pump systems. Read ahead to learn about the differences and benefits of both.
A central air conditioning system is fairly simple: An external condenser unit (this often looks like a metal box on a level base) sits outside your home and rids your property of hot air. Inside your home, an evaporator coil above your furnace cools the air within your home.
The end result is nice, cool air blown through your home’s duct work using a fan, thanks to a partnership between your furnace or air handler and your AC.
Central aircon works in close contact with your home furnace because the air travels through the furnace filter and any air purification equipment that you have in place.
A ductless heat pump, on the other hand, is different from a central AC system in that it does not use ductwork to pump out cool air. Ductless air conditioners tend to be smaller and can be attached to the indoor wall, ceiling, or sit on the floor. The heat pump unit sits outdoors and can be mounted.
A small hole in the exterior wall connects the ductless, sometimes called mini split, indoor unit to the outdoor heat pump unit via a conduit, while a power cable, refrigerant tubing and condensate drain run between the indoor and outdoor units. This results in cool air without the need for ductwork.
Wondering which system is better for you? There are unique benefits to both:
