Are you in the market for a new home? When we began looking for our home we had a
list of criterion that came with the feat; we wanted a two car attached garage,
three bedrooms, two baths and a newer heating system as well as a central air
conditioning system. Many people gaffed
at needing central air however having lived in Michigan we knew to be
comfortable in the summer months it was important. Consider these four important pieces in
regards to the cooling system of choice in your home.
·
When looking at a home with a window unit over a
home with a central air system what is the first thing you notice? I know I notice that one window is blocked
and unavailable to be used when it is nice out for air flow. I also notice this huge box sticking out of
the window and sabotaging the curb appeal of your home. However this complaint is not true with
central air conditioning units. In fact
a central air conditioning unit is hardly even noticeable these days. Most homes have a unit on the outside of the
home that connect to a unit in the home all while distributing air throughout
the home in the same outlets as the heat.
·
Another benefit of central air conditioning systems is that the ducts are able to access all the rooms in your home. Unlike a window air conditioning unit that
cools one central area in the home. This
does not make for comfortable sleeping if the home is only cool in the central
living areas.
·
Central air units also run significantly quieter
than window units. With a window unit
there is considerable noise pollution when the machine is turning off and
on. Running a central unit allows for a
more gradual lull with the air flowing through the house at a consistent rate
rather than long bursts of running, shutting down and working to turn back
on. Central air systems are quiet.
·
Central HVAC systems you can heat and cool your
home without needing extra machines. One
complete unit allows your heating and cooling needs to be met without the bulk
of adding another unit to the home.
·
Last but not least a central air conditioning
system adds value to your home. When it
is time to sell your home the house will appraise for more than the same home
using only a box air conditioning unit.
In these tough economic times selling a home is difficult
enough. Adding a central air
conditioning system to your home will untimely only help in the sale of your
home especially in a four season climate like what we have in Michigan. When the market is difficult and saturated
with homes for sale items such as the heating and cooling systems come into the
picture and are often an item that makes or breaks a sale. When looking at a new central air
conditioning unit for your home make sure you hire a licensed HVAC contractor. They will be the best people to certify the
units are installed correctly.
