While there\u2019s no straight forward answer, there are several factors that can help you determine if a central unit or window units would be a better fit for you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are three main things to think about when considering different cooling systems\u00a0\u2014 the size of your home, how insulated your home is, and the climate where you live.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If your home is in an urban setting, or less than 700 square feet, a window unit might be your best bet, and sometimes your only choice. A one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Los Angeles might only have the option of a window unit. However, if your home is large enough, a central AC unit is recommended. Consult with an air conditioning service technician to ensure you\u2019re purchasing the right size unit for your home.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While central air conditioning installation may help cool your home down, it will only make a difference if the home is well insulated. A poorly insulated home will not keep any cool air in \u2013 no matter if it\u2019s a window unit or a central unit. While many people think of insulation to stay warm, it\u2019s also important to ensure your home stays cool. While a central air conditioning installation may help,<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, depending on the climate where you live, a window unit could potentially be all you need to keep your home cool in warmer months. If you live in an extremely humid area, talk to an air conditioning repair company to ensure you\u2019re buying the right type of air conditioning. Certain types are better suited for humidity and extreme temperatures.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do You Need Window Units or Central Air Conditioning? \u00a0 People often ask if a window unit or central air [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1106,1107,1117,1824],"tags":[1131,1607],"class_list":["post-24958","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ac-repair","category-ac-service","category-air-conditioning-services","category-air-conditioning-installation","tag-air-conditioning-service","tag-air-conditioning-repair"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v17.8 (Yoast SEO v27.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Do You Need Window Units or Central Air Conditioning?
