Top Benefits Of Adding Ames AC

By Janelle Burnett


Today, most new homes have central air conditioning installed as a part of the original building process. However older homes, especially those built before 1960 may not have this advantage. Today, it is easier than ever to have Ames AC added to a home. There are new options that may allow for cooling without having to retrofit the home with ductwork. When considering this home improvement, owners should also consider the benefits.

Today, residential cooling systems allow occupants to keep each room of the building at a perfect temperature. During the hot summer nights, bedrooms remain cool and comfortable, improving the quality of restful sleep for the occupants. Many systems are also heat pumps, keeping the occupants comfortable even in the winter.

A cooling system also offers the advantage of dehumidifying the house. This eliminates the sweaty, sticky feeling caused by air with a high moisture content. Some systems also offer a dry mode for use on those days when one needs to reduce humidity without cooling the area. Keeping moisture low also offers the benefit of reduced chances of mold growth.

With central air conditioning the noisy compressor is located outside the home, allowing for quiet operation. Many owners find the central cooling system to be quieter to operate than a window unit or box fan in the room. In addition, the home is quieter as closed windows and doors help to eliminate obnoxious noises from the street or loud neighbors.

With warmer weather, many locations are highly populated with bugs. Homes with air conditioning are able to keep windows and doors closed so that crawling and flying insects do not have access to the house. By keeping the home pest free, occupants do not have to deal with their bites.

In pre-air conditioning days, older adults may remember sleeping in a home with doors and windows open while feeling safe. However, today, this type of action can render a home as unsafe. Leaving the windows open on the lower level can make homes more susceptible to break-ins. The cooling system ensures greater safety.

Residential cooling units also provide effective air filtration. These filters can reduce the dust, dust mites, bacteria, pollen and pet dander from the air. Anyone who suffers from respiratory problems or allergies can benefit from the installation of the system.

When the system is also a heat pump, it can reduce the energy consumption of the home. Heat pumps are highly energy efficient and consume as much as 80% less electricity than any other type of electric heat. It is often less expensive to heat an entire home with a heat pump than one room with an electric space heater.

Unlike other types of home heating systems, Ames AC systems offer instantaneous cooling and heating. The occupant simply presses a switch to have heat for the chilly morning or heat for a hot afternoon. Unlike heating systems that require heating of a boiler tank to warm the home, these systems can warm a house quickly.
