AC Systems: Which Type is Best for You?
Discover the various types of AC systems with our comprehensive installation guide.
Equipment Staging:
The efficiency of HVAC systems largely depends on staging and proper installation. Staging refers to the compressor speed in the outdoor unit and is categorized into three types: single, dual, and variable. Single-stage units are the least efficient, dual-stage units offer moderate efficiency, and variable-stage units are the most efficient.
Single Stage Units:
Single-stage HVAC systems are the most common and affordable, operating simply at either full capacity or off. While cost-effective to install and repair, they offer low efficiency and don't adjust to varying heat loads, making them less suitable for well-insulated homes. Their operation is typically controlled by room conditions via the thermostat.
Dual Stage:
Dual-stage HVAC systems offer enhancements over single-stage units by operating at both low and high stages. This flexibility allows them to adjust to home conditions and run more efficiently, often below peak load, which prolongs run time and reduces energy use. With proper installation, they provide more consistent comfort and save electricity by minimizing short cycling.
Variable Speed Systems:
Variable speed HVAC systems include both variable speed indoor fans and outdoor units, allowing them to adjust compressor output precisely to changing conditions, ranging from 0.01 to 5 tons. This greatly enhances efficiency and comfort compared to dual-stage systems. They run longer but use less power, effectively controlling humidity and temperature.
