The Many Benefits of Converting to Refrigerated Air Conditioning
If you are unsure about switching to refrigerated air, there are plenty of benefits to look forward to. First of all, a refrigerated air conditioning unit runs more efficiently and smoothly than swamp coolers. Since swamp coolers require optimal airflow, you have to have windows and doors cracked open for the best cooling conditions in your home or office. This might put homes and businesses at risk of break-ins. If optimal airflow isn’t taking place, the swamp cooler has to work harder to cool the building. Since refrigerated air conditioner units don’t pull outside air into your home, the system is much more reliable. Bypassing the need of optimal airflow makes refrigerated air units great for people who struggle with allergies.
Better Mechanical Components Translate to A More Efficient Machine
Swamp coolers run on a very simple mechanical system. A pump pushes water into pads and cool air flows through the wet pads into your home. This process causes the air in the home to become much more humid than that of a refrigerated air system. Swamp coolers tend to break down often because of their simple mechanical systems. A refrigerated air conditioner doesn’t experience this problem. There is no need to weatherize your home. You’ll no longer have to switch to a heater in the winter. With a simple flip of a switch, your refrigerated air unit can go from cooling your home or business to keeping it warm during the chilly winter months!
What Does Converting to Refrigerated Air Require?
If you are concerned that your home or commercial building cannot sustain a refrigerated air conversion, don’t worry! Once you decide to make the conversion, one of our electricians will visit your home or business in order to conduct a full assessment. We will determine which size unit you should use and if your current ductwork will sustain a refrigerated air unit.
When converting to refrigerated air, the Omega Electrical & Mechanical team will make use of the existing ductwork so there will be no need to worry about expensive duct installations.
