Whole-home air conditioning systems are central services that rely on ducts to deliver cooled air throughout the home. An HVAC service provides cooling, ventilation, humidity control and even heating (if using a Heat Pump) for a home. Home air conditioning systems cool refrigerants like Puron Refrigerant and Freon and deliver them to evaporator coils, which dissipate the refrigerant and blow cool air into ducts for delivery throughout the home.
Air conditioning installs such as room air conditioners are local cooling options for smaller areas within homes. Instead of delivering cooled refrigerant to a coil and then to ductwork, a room air conditioner system contains all the components in a single unit and blows air directly into a room.
Homes with air conditioning installs often have sealed windows, because open windows would disrupt the attempts of the cooling services to maintain constant temperature.
