As a seasoned HVAC expert with over 27 years of experience, I have witnessed the evolution of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. From the traditional split systems to the modern ductless systems, there are four main categories of HVAC systems that are commonly used today. These include split systems, hybrid systems, ductless systems, and packaged heating and air systems.
Split systems
are the most common type of HVAC system and are divided into two separate units - one for heating and one for cooling. These units come with both indoor and outdoor components that are easily identifiable.At EB Air, we have the expertise to handle projects that require top-notch performance and solutions.
Hybrid systems
combine the features of both split and packaged systems. They use both electricity and gas to operate, making them more energy-efficient than traditional split systems. However, they can be more expensive to install.Ductless systems
, also known as mini-splits, are highly efficient and offer great energy savings over their lifespan. In fact, many modern ductless systems have SEER ratings higher than 20, with some high-end models reaching up to 30 SEER.This makes them a popular choice for homeowners looking to reduce their utility bills. Lastly, packaged heating and air systems are all-in-one units that contain both heating and cooling components in a single outdoor unit. They are commonly used in commercial buildings or homes with limited space for separate indoor and outdoor units. Regardless of the type of HVAC system you have, it is important to keep up with regular maintenance services. This includes checking and replacing filters, cleaning coils, and inspecting all components for any potential issues. Neglecting these services can lead to a decrease in efficiency and lifespan of the system, resulting in costly repairs and higher utility bills.
