Looking for an energy-smart heating or air conditioning contractor? Try Oliver Heating and Cooling!
A new air conditioner is a big investment, but keep in mind that choosing an energy-efficient system can mean big energy savings.
High-velocity air conditioners
If you have an older home, you might have resigned yourself to living without the comforts of central air conditioning. A new technology called high-velocity air conditioning can be added to almost any home - even those without existing ductwork.
Also known as “mini-duct” systems, high-velocity air conditioning uses a typical outdoor compressor to cool the air, combined with a high-pressure blower.
But instead of bulky metal ductwork, this technology uses flexible tubing only two inches in diameter. The insulated tubes can be threaded behind walls or inside closets without damaging sheetrock or plaster.
And instead of large metal registers, you’ll have a two-inch vent in the ceiling on high on a wall that’s nearly invisible when painted. The system is much quieter than air conditioning through traditional metal ductwork.
A mini-duct system also dehumidifies the air more effectively. The high pressure blower compresses the air and allows it to be in contact with the cooling coils longer - which reduces the temperature and removes more humidity.
Oliver Heating and Cooling can help with determining the right system size and design for your needs and provide competitive bids on the project. Oliver Heating and Cooling is the best among experienced heating & cooling contractors.
