System Types
The perfect heating and cooling system for your home depends on several factors, including the physical specifications of your home. Whichever innovative products you and your expert dealer select, there are 3 primary types of heating and cooling systems: split systems, duct-free split systems and packaged systems.
Split System
The most typical and traditional heating and cooling systems are split systems. With a split system, you have products that reside both inside and outside your home. An innovative split system includes:
- Air Conditioner–Cools refrigerant
- Furnace and Evaporator Coil or a Fan Coil–Converts refrigerant and circulates air
- Ducts–Carry the air throughout your home
- Control or Thermostat–Your interface for controlling your system
- Optional Air Quality Accessories such as Air Cleaners or Ventilators–Clean your air before it circulates throughout your home.
