Choosing the Right AC System


There’s a lot riding on the line when you’re choosing your next air conditioning installation in Corpus Christi, TX. 


Your new AC will affect your comfort and your utility costs for years to come, so you need to make sure you’re making the right choice. But what exactly goes into making that decision?


Getting the Right Contractor

The most essential part before choosing the right type or brand of system is finding the right contractor. Choosing the right contractor will help to ensure you are getting the most out of the system you choose in terms of energy consumption, comfort, performance, longevity, and safety. 


Focusing too much on the make of the system can be a costly mistake. No matter who the manufacturer of the equipment is, you will receive very comparable results between each manufacturer so long as the system is installed and maintained properly. 


Be wary as many contractors may not follow standard industry processes in order to cut time and cost. Give us a call any time, and we will gladly advise you on what to look for to ensure your system gets installed properly. You can count on the HVAC professionals at Logicool Air Solutions to provide a top quality installation, we guarantee it. 


Getting the Right Type of AC System

There are many different types of air conditioning systems out there that are suited to different situations. Here are just a few of the different types of systems out there - Single-Stage Systems, Two-Stage Systems, Variable-Speed Systems, Heat Pump Systems, Electric Strip Heat Systems, Gas Systems, Package-Unit Systems, and many many more.


There’s a big division in the market right now between central air conditioning systems and ductless mini-split systems.


A central air conditioning system relies on a large and powerful AC unit that delivers enough cooling capacity for your entire home. It distributes cooled air throughout your home using ducts. This is an effective and efficient solution that works well with medium to large buildings that have many different individual rooms. 


Ductless mini-splits are a more recent trend better suited to buildings where Ductwork is difficult or not possible to install. This kind of system will require several units for most homes, with each providing cooling for a designated “cooling zone” inside your home. For many homes, this just means one unit on each floor. These units are great for large open areas; but, these units are not cost effective for smaller rooms that still require conditioning such as bathrooms, closets, pantries, etc. 


Getting the Right Size AC System

Both ductless and central air systems can be configured to provide effective cooling for just about any home. Another important factor in whether you’re getting the cooling you need is the size or capacity of the system.


Air conditioners are measured in terms of BTU of cooling output. You need to make sure that your system has enough BTU of cooling to keep your home at the desired temperature. The best way to do so is to have professionals install your air conditioning system.


Professional HVAC technicians will calculate the cooling load of your home based on its size and construction, taking into account factors like your foundation type and attic insulation. They will also help you look into additional features customized for you and your home.
