Continue reading to discover why refrigerated air conditioning is the best decision for your home or business, and how it compares to other types of air conditioning.

Why is Air Conditioning is Beneficial?

This might seem like a silly question. Of course AC is beneficial - no one wants to be hot during the summertime! But, there are actually more benefits to AC than just colder air. If you live in a colder climate and on the fence about including an AC unit, here are some benefits to consider:

Increased Health

Having A/C can reduce the frequency or risk of asthma attacks.

A/C:

• Reduces the humidity in the environment

• Lowers the amount of mildew, mold, and pollen you breathe in

• Decreases asthma triggers

Better Rest

Having air-conditioning can also lead to better sleep. The ideal sleep temperature is somewhere between the high 60s and low 70s. Those temperatures are usually impossible to reach in most places (especially in the summer time) without A/C!

Improved Performance

A colder climate can even increase work performance. Hot and sticky environments can lead to grogginess and sleepiness, whereas a brisk climate will keep you sharp and alert.

Having cool ventilation will reduce the risk of dehydration. It can also reduce the risk of heat stroke, which is a huge concern in the summertime months.

Other Types of Air Conditioning Units

In order to understand why ducted ac is superior, it's important to know what else is out there with regards to cooling options. A few of the main other options are:

• Central ac

• Window ac

• Ductless (or, mini-split) ac

• Portable ac

• Geothermal heating/cooling

Despite these various options, the biggest difference is central vs. ductless.

What is Central Air?

Central air conditioning is the most commonly used type of AC. It functions by cooling the air through a central unit, and using a supply duct to carry the cool air to different rooms. Once the air warms, it goes back to the central unit to be cooled again. Individual room temperature cannot be controlled.

What is Ducted Refrigerated Air Conditioning?

Aspen Air is proud to offer reverse cycle air conditioning for several reasons. To begin with, it is currently the best air conditioning unit that money can buy.

Some of the biggest benefits:

• It can be used for cooling as well as heating

• It is available throughout the entire home

• It only requires electricity to power

How Does Ducted Refrigerated Air Conditioning Work?

Ducted air conditioning works by blowing cool air in your home through a series of ducts. It removes the hot air and circulates the cool air throughout the home.

The condenser unit cools the air, which is outside the home. Once the air is refrigerated, the air is pushed through the ducts to cool the rooms. It also functions the same way to provide heat all year round. The reverse process is what provides heat: the cold is expelled, and the hot air is circulated around the home.

How Many Rooms Can You Control?

With ducted refrigerated cooling, you can control up to eight zones (or rooms) with a single thermostat. The refrigerant pipes are small and concealed. The indoor unit is hidden under the floor or in the ceiling. A return air grill filters out household dust to purify your air even further. Inverter technology allows the ducted refrigerated AC unit to recycle hot air into cool air, and vice versa.

How Costly is It?

Reverse cycle air conditioning is as beneficial for your home and air quality as it is for your bank account. The average yearly cost of running a Mitsubishi Electric PEAD-rp 125jaa Series 12KW Ducted Refrigerated System is $1340.05. That's for the whole year!

Of course, you can lower that average even further by taking economical steps like insulating your home, closing blinds, and dressing weather-appropriate.

What Sizes Are Available?

Ducted refrigerated air conditioning units come in several different sizes to suit your home needs.

• A smaller house will need a 7-10KW unit, a medium house will need a 12-14KW unit

• A larger house would benefit from a 17-25KW unit, depending on how large your house is
