are located in the attic of the home, it circulates cooled air through insulated supply ducts. Return ducts draw hot air back from the house, this is very efficient since cold air coming supplied from the ceiling naturally drops via gravity. (Cold air is more dense than warm air).
This is a system that is added on to a ducted heating system (in ceiling or under floor) that provides both air conditioning and gas heating through the same ducts and outlets. The Air Conditioning is typically a zoned system – to cool either living areas (day) or bedrooms (night). The heating can operate either half the house or the whole house at once.
Advantages of Refriderated Split Systems
Disadvantages of Split Systems:
These are air conditioning systems that provide cooling to one or more rooms. They incorporate the use of a condenser unit that is placed outside the home, with refrigerant and electrical lines that go through the exterior wall to connect to one or more compact, wall-mounted cooling units (zones) inside the home.
A ductless air conditioner, also called a mini-split system, has two major components: a unit mounted on an inside wall that delivers cool air to the room and a unit mounted on the outside of the house. A pair or refrigerant lines run between the two, one delivering electricity, the other taking away condensate (water).
There are a number of benefits users get with a ductless system. These include easy installation, easy maintenance, quiet operation, heating, simple control, and attractive and efficient design.
An easy installation for your contractor means less mess, or disruption, for your home or downtime for your business. Ductless systems are easy to maintain. Many indoor units have washable filters and require only periodical cleaning. The design for Outdoor units are for easy access for your contractor for those routine maintenance calls.
Ductless systems provide additional heating as well so you can live and work comfortably year-round. And ductless systems are easy to operate. Many provide system control features with a hand-head wireless controller or wall thermostat that puts you in direct control of your comfort.
The amount of cold air entering the room can be controlled by a thermostat or it can be regulated by an infra-red remote control, like a TV remote. One room or one area of a building can maintain a different temperature from another room or area in the same building.
In a central air-conditioning system, refrigerant is pumped from the outdoor condenser coil indoors to a single indoor coil from which cooled air is distributed to each room through a system of ducts. In many houses and businesses, the amount of cold air in one room cannot be regulated without changing the temperature of every room in the building.
deliver comfortable conditioned air throughout your home. It works with an air conditioner to circulate cool air in the summer. Air handlers usually connect to ductwork that distributes the conditioned air through the building/home. Small air handlers, for local use, are called termimal units, and may only include an air filter, coil, and blower. A larger air handler that conditions 100% outside air, and no recirculated air, is known as a makeup air unit (MAU). An air handler designed for outdoor use, typically on roofs, is a packaged unit (PU) or rooftop unit (RTU).
are located outside the home, it offers a lower level of indoor noise than a free-standing air conditionng unit. Condensing units are familiar temperature-control devices in your air conditioner unit. They move energy in the form of heat by compressing a gas known as a “refrigerant” then pumping it through a system of coils and using the air around the coils to heat and cool spaces. Electronic controls, fans, pumps and coils manage the condenser’s work.
heat and cool more than half of America’s small commercial buildings from schools and retail stores to hospitals, restaurants and office buildings. The unit consists of heat exchangers for heating and an air conditioning system for cooling. They are installed on rooftops most notably because of the large amount of space on the roof; it is well out of the way and doesn’t cause any unattractive obstructions to the building. Also available for heating only or cooling only as well as heat pump models. These units have many different installation design capabilities including our favorite, the economizer, which allows free cooling while bringing in fresh air.
are similar to pumps, they both increase the pressure on fluid and both can transport the fluid through a pipe. As gases are compressible, the compressor also reduces the volume of a gas.

A household furnace is a major appliance and a basic necessity for everyone. A furnace is permanently installed to provide heat to an interior space through intermediary fluid movement, which may be air, steam, or hot water. A typical life span of a furnace is about 20 years, but some modern age units can last 25 – 30 years.
Regardless of the make or model of your furnace, there are a few basic steps you can take to keep your heating system in peak condition:
Works by heating air in a furnace and then forcing air out into various areas of the home through installed ductwork and registers.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
Uses a natural hot heater equipped with a finned tube heat exchanger to provide space heating, as well as hot water.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
Heats water in a boiler through electric, oil, or natural gas, and dispenses using radiators throughout the home.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
Boiler heated water travels through pipes to baseboard units in the home.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
During the summer, extracts heat from inside the home and transfers it to the outdoor air. In the winter, takes heat from outside and moves it inside.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
A closed unit in which water or other fluid is heated. The heated or vaporized fluid exits the boiler for use in various processes of heating the house or building.
Boilers can be made of cast-iron, steel, or copper heat exchangers. Boilers can use different burners and venting systems. The wall-mount condensing boiler is the design of choice for most residential applications. Homeowners, builders, and heating contractors prefer this because it has flexible venting options and is compact in design.

When shopping for mobile home furnaces you must remember that standard home furnaces use different rating systems that are not relevant to a manufactured (mobile) dwelling. Mobile home furnaces need to be ducted, vented, and installed differently than furnaces for standard homes. The ducting system in a mobile home is much smaller than in a standard home. Mobile home heating systems, like the homes, are also different.
It is essential to obtain a furnace which is of the right size for the mobile home. This will depend greatly on the climate in the area of the home. Also a unit which might be suitable in a warmer climate could be undersized in colder areas. A unit which is too small in your climate zone must work too hard to heat the home. The result is also inefficient and wasted money. It is necessary to obtain a system which is suited to your particular size of home in your particular climate. When in the replacement market, you should seek expert advice from Hitech Central Air Inc. (PTAC Experts). on this.
