AIR CONDITIONERS

There are a variety of air conditioners available to help with your cooling needs. The main types of air conditioners include central systems (cool the whole house at the same time, through air ducts), window (cool one room, and are generally installed in the window and difficult to move), and portable (easily moved from room to room, with minimal or no installation).

The type of air conditioner you will want depends on your cooling needs. For warmer climates, central is often considered the best option, however operating costs will be higher than cooling just one room at a time.

When researching air conditioners, be sure to check out the variety of online retailers and service providers. Many will be able to give free estimates on central systems, and retailers sell a wide variety of other air conditioners, often at discounted prices from traditional retail outlets.
