HVAC is an acronym that stands for heating, ventilation and air conditioning. There are many different types of air conditioning units and manufactured products to suit the different demands of Dallas consumers. At Oak Point Heating and Air LLC, we have experience installing, repairing and servicing air conditioning units of all types ranging from large-scale commercial units to smaller residential units and everything in between.

Some Common Types of Air Conditioning Systems

The most common type of air conditioning system is the split system. Most homes employ this type of air-conditioning system as it is affordable, efficient and common in the Dallas area. A split system air conditioning unit consists of an air-conditioning condenser. This type of air conditioning unit is most common with free standing homes since the unit typically sits outside, either at the side of or in the back of the home. In some cases, this unit can be placed on the roof of the home. Inside the home, it is typical to install the evaporator, air duct coils and ventilation system. The condenser condenses the refrigerant, turning it from a gas into a liquid state. It is then pushed into the evaporator and on through the air duct coils into the ventilator, where it reaches the different rooms in your home.

The packaged unit contains both heating and cooling units within one piece of equipment. This type of unit typically sits in the window of one room in the home. All of the components including the compressor, condenser, expansion value and coil are all kept within the same unit. Therefore, it is an ideal choice for cooling or heating one room within the home.

The portable air conditioner unit is convenient in that you can move it from room to room, however it runs solely on electricity. It is useful to keep this in mind when shopping for an air conditioning unit in Dallas or the surrounding areas because considering the hydro rates will help you make a more informed decision. Another downfall to this type of unit is that the exhaust pipe needs to be lead to the outside of the home, as it is dangerous to inhale its fumes. Not every room is outfitted with the requirements that this type of air conditioning system needs, therefore it does have its limitations.
