3 Types of Air Conditioning Systems
Today, there are different types of air conditioning systems available, each with their own benefits. Below, learn more about the air conditioning systems we install for our customers:
- Traditional Central Air Conditioning: This type of air conditioning system is the most common. With an indoor and an outdoor component, central air uses the home’s ductwork system to move cooled air throughout the home. Modern central air conditioning systems are much more energy efficient than their earlier counterparts, with some systems achieving SEER ratings of nearly 26.
- Ductless Air Conditioning: Unlike central air conditioning systems, ductless systems do not require ductwork to keep your home cool. Instead, one unit is installed in a room or zone, with indoor and outdoor units connected by a small diameter tube. Whether you need cooling in just one room or throughout your home, ductless is an option, as they are available in single or multiple units. Ductless tends to be very energy efficient, as many models use heat pumps to operate, and many models can also provide heating during the colder months.
- Heat Pump Systems: Heat pumps are considered the most efficient means of home cooling available on the market today. They don’t use fossil fuel to operate, instead transferring heat from the air in your home to the air or ground outside. And, like ductless systems, a heat pump can be reversed during the winter to extract heat from the outdoor air or earth and pump it into your home. A traditional heat pump system uses your existing ductwork to move cooled or heated air throughout your home.
The best type of system for your home depends on your home’s structure, your lifestyle needs, and your budget. To determine the most effective AC system for your home, it’s always a good idea to talk to a qualified air conditioning contractor, like Reidy Heating & Cooling, Inc.

Now that the spring season has arrived, most people are starting to think about warmer days ahead. And while it might not be time for air conditioning quite yet, the temperature outside will warm up before you know it, and you’ll want that cool comfort to be readily available. That’s why choosing air conditioning maintenance for your system is important.
In Ludlow, MA, it’s those summer days in the 80’s when you most appreciate a well-functioning air conditioning system. It’s those same days when your air conditioner will be working it’s hardest, which is when it’s most likely to fail.

If you’re like many other homeowners, you’ve likely found yourself with a broken air conditioner one hot summer day, left to sweat in your home until an extremely busy contractor could come fix your AC system. Often times, once is enough of this experience. The best way to avoid such a scenario is to choose preventive air conditioning maintenance prior to summer, which is when your air conditioner will be working it’s hardest.
