HVAC (Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) units are used in both commercial and residential applications. The main task of the air conditioning system is not only to heat or cool the room. This system also performs the ventilation process and enhances air quality. An HVAC air conditioning system allows you to control the heating and cooling of your home, and maintains indoor air quality and ventilation.
What are the types of HVAC system?
There are different types of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. The type of HVAC unit will determine the cost of maintenance, energy efficiency and other additional features. Let’s take a closer look at the types of HVAC air conditioners. There are four main types of air conditioning systems, these include:
1. Mini Split system. Split heating and cooling systems are considered one of the most popular types of air conditioning systems. The split system is popular because it has an outdoor and indoor unit that can be easily identified. These systems act like large air conditioners and are usually installed outside the building and operate during the summer. Also, the Split system has a conventional thermostat to control and maintain the internal temperature in the building at the required level.
2. Heat pump. This type of AC system is more advanced than the split system. The hybrid system is equipped with an electric heater system to improve energy efficiency. This system is popular because it can reduce energy costs through the use of a hybrid-electric heating system. This type uses standard thermostats and air ducts.
3. Ductless. This type of HVAC is suitable for buildings that do not have a standard duct system. As a rule, it consists of an external air conditioner and a heat pump. This is an independent unit that is installed in every room and provides better independent control. These systems are also popular in hotels and homes with large living spaces because they give occupants the ability to control temperatures and conditions.
4. Central Air Conditioning. This type of HVAC system provides the possibility of heating and cooling in one unit. This system is most often used in houses without a basement, as it is usually installed outdoors. This system is capable of both heating and cooling the house. These types of systems are extremely efficient and easy to maintain.
Each type of air conditioning system has its own advantages and disadvantages, which depend on a person’s needs, room size, and other factors.
Benefits of HVAC Mini Split System Heating and Cooling
- Split air conditioners are easy to install because they operate without air ducts;
- The split system is easy to manage;
- This air conditioning system is very quiet. Therefore, it is ideal for conference rooms, libraries, bedrooms, offices and classrooms;
- This system is easy to maintain;
- These systems cool different areas of the building by dividing them into small parts;
- Split systems are low maintenance and typically result in lower utility bills.
Disadvantages of HVAC Mini Split System Heating and Cooling
- Ductless heating and cooling is 30%-40% more expensive than conventional air conditioners;
- You may need a professional technician to install these systems to confirm warranty and safety;
- Installing a drainage system outdoors may be upsetting to neighbors. If this system is leaking, it can cause a short circuit;
- Odors can spread throughout the home and dust can also circulate in the room.
Benefits of a Ductless CAC (Central Air Conditioning) System
- Easy installation;
- Reduced energy costs;
- No duct installation costs.
Disadvantages of a CAC System
- Higher installation cost;
- Poor heat output;
- Higher energy costs.
Benefits of a Central Air Conditioning System
- Easy to maintain and the system is relatively small;
- This is the most efficient air conditioning system;
- You can install it inside a building.
Disadvantages of a Central Air Conditioning System
- You may need a professional technician to install these systems to confirm warranty and safety;
- The most expensive system to purchase and install it;
- Requires a permit.
Any type of HVAC system must perform the basic functions of heating or cooling rooms. When outdoor air enters the air conditioning system, it enters the ventilation unit, where the complete AC cycle begins. If this does not happen, then your air conditioning and ventilation system is faulty. In this case, you need to call the wizard to troubleshoot the HVAC system.
