Heat Air Conditioning

Heat air conditioning refers to a dual heating and air conditioning system. Such a heat air conditioning installation will keep your home at an even temperature throughout the year. This kind of system can be a split, one room system or a central unit that will deliver heat / air conditioning to a whole house. Central heat / air conditioning systems make use of ducting to deliver hot or cold air to every room in the house, whereas a split system is composed of two units: the air conditioner compressor will be outside, while the air handler and electric heater unit will be inside.

Heat Air Conditioning

Heat air conditioning units are the most economical methods of controlling the temperature of your house throughout the year. Technically, your heat / air conditioning system will consist of three basic units: the air conditioning system, the heating system and the shared ducting which will deliver whichever type of air that you select.

Having a joint heat air conditioning system will save you money because the heating and cooling units will share the blower and the ducting and the ducting alone can cost half the price of a central air conditioning system.

Central heat / air conditioning systems are the best solution for controlling the environment in a house. A 'standard system' will usually service seven rooms, which is enough for a typical house. They can be extended to suit larger houses, of course.

Once you have a heat air conditioning system in your house, you can also opt to have an air purification unit built in line in the ducting behind the blower, so that every breath of air, hot or cold, that is pumped into your house has been treated, filtered and purified. That is a tremendous benefit and it is fairly cheap to install as well.

On the other hand, there are stand alone units, which are meant to service one room only. Such a heat / air conditioning stand alone system is better suited to be set up in a trailer or caravan. Some people may only require heat / air conditioning in the bedroom in order to afford a good night's sleep. These units are a combination of the old electric hot air blower and an air conditioner. In this case too, the blower is shared by the both systems.

Stand alone heat air conditioners can also be portable. Some of the cheaper portable models are poor air conditioners, but all right as heaters. However, the real problem lies in the fact, that if you use such a device in a house, you are restricted to one room and every time you open the door, unconditioned air mixes with what you have already cleaned.

The only real way to go is by treating your whole living space simultaneously. For most people, this will mean a central heat / air conditioning system in the basement, whereas a stand alone heat / air conditioning system will suit an office or a trailer or caravan.
