Q&A: HVAC Edition

Published by Luke Weiden

Many people have an HVAC unit in their home, but it’s possible that you don’t know how it works. It’s important to stay informed with the system and learn about the benefits of it so when something goes wrong, you know what the next steps are. If you ever have a problem with your HVAC system, make sure you contact your heating company serving Irving Park, Deljo Heating & Cooling.

How Does Air Conditioning Work?

An air conditioning unit is able to provide cool air through duct work inside your home. The AC changes the temperature, humidity, and the general quality of the air in your home by making your home cooler. The AC absorbs heat energy from the house and transfers it outside, replacing the air inside your home with cooler air.

What Are The Different Types Of AC?

There are a few different types of air conditioners that can be used in order to cool a home. Some types include:

  • Central AC: The central unit controls air in an enclosed space using a system of supply and return airflow. The cooled air flows out of the system through the supply ducts and into the living space. If the air becomes warmer, it will flow back to the system through the return ducts. One of the advantages of central air conditioners is the consistency of maintaining temperatures throughout the house.
  • Ductless Mini-Split AC: This is similar to other air-conditioned but unlike the window air conditioner, both components of the ductless units are connected through a small drilling on the wall. These units are smaller than others and flexible to be used for either zoning, heating, or cooling individual rooms.
  • Portable and Window: Window air conditioners are among the most common types of AC units because of how simple they are. Mounted on the walls or windows, they consist of a casing that hosts all conditioner parts. When they first came out, the front side was manually controlled, but today they are digitally controlled through a remote or touch panel.
