Should I Get a Central AC or a Central Heat Pump?

Selecting Your AC System

More and more homeowners in Montana are getting central air conditioners and heat pumps installed in their homes to combat the summer heat. If you’re tired of making do with portable window units that aren’t that effective, the sky is the limit when it comes to finding an affordable solution to staying cool in the summer. 

Heat pumps, ductless mini splits, and central air conditioners are three solid choices for boosting your home comfort when it’s warm outside. Let’s go over the benefits of each system so you can make an informed decision. No matter what you choose, rely on the Ambient Air Solutions team for your central air solutions in Belgrade, MT.

Central Air Conditioners

This continues to be the most popular type of AC system in the US. They consist of an indoor and outdoor unit and connect to your home’s ductwork to distribute cold air. From standard models to more advanced systems that consume less energy, you can’t go wrong with a central air conditioner. Look for central AC systems with higher SEER2 ratings to maximize energy efficiency.

Ductless Mini Splits

Does your home lack ductwork? Is your home’s duct system not in the best condition? Or perhaps you want to cool or heat a specific area of your home such as a garage, sunroom, or addition. These are all ideal scenarios for ductless mini splits. Not only that, but since they use heat pump technology, they also provide heating.

Central Heat Pumps

Also called ducted heat pumps or just heat pumps, these systems provide both heating and cooling. Just like a central air conditioner, they consist of an indoor and outdoor unit and distribute conditioned air via ductwork. 

However, the benefit of heat pumps over central AC is that they also provide heating. Although heat pumps work less efficiently when heating in sub-freezing temperatures, cold climate models are available that can run efficiently in single-digit temperatures.

No matter what type of system you choose, the one decision you should make is to have your brand-new system installed by a team of professionals. Our NATE-certified technicians have the skills and expertise to make sure that your new system is properly sized for your home and expertly installed.
