There are countless air conditioner products on the market, and homeowners often struggle to figure out the right solution for their property. Maple Air Heating and Cooling, providing HVAC services in the Greater Toronto Area, can help customers figure out specific solutions to meet their needs.

Major Differences Between Central and Window Air Conditioning Systems
Central air conditioning units are typically better than window units because they can cool an entire home in minutes. In addition, central air conditioners are typically far more energy efficient than window air conditioners. The thermostat in a central air conditioning unit will automatically shut off when a certain temperature is reached. Some window air conditioners offer these functions, but many simply run until the user shuts the device off.

The Issue With Window Air Conditioners
Window AC units will typically only cool a single room, and these units can be very unsightly looking. These air conditioners block you from opening the window, and homeowners have to deal with the dripping water problem. All air conditioners drip water, but central air conditioning units typically have a specific line that drains outside. Condensation always causes air conditioners to drip water, so you'll have to frequently check to ensure water isn't dripping onto electric components.

Benefits of Central Air Conditioners 
Central air conditioning units last significantly longer than window. Replacing a central AC unit isn't that difficult because the vents and drain lines are already set up. The main reason most people prefer central air conditioners is because these units effortlessly cool the entire house. Homeowners will typically only install a window AC unit in the bedroom. This means that the kitchen, living room and bathroom will still be very hot.

Central air conditioning units may improve a home's value. Toronto gets warm and humid from June to September, so these are times when homeowners will want to cool off indoors. Toronto is also very cold throughout the year, so central heating systems can be invaluable. If you are in need of a central air conditioner, the professionals at Maple Air Heating and Cooling located in Vaughan will examine the property's existing configuration to determine the best course of action.
