AC4Life – Orlando Air Conditioning

Heat pumps are perfect for use in all but the absolute coldest northern climates. Heat pumps are extremely energy efficient and use a heating element as backup heat when the outdoor temperature drops below about 30° F. A split system is the most common type using an outdoor condenser and an indoor air handler.

Split AC Electric Heating Systems

Electric heat is less energy efficient (and less expensive to purchase) than a heat pump or gas heat in heating mode. Primarily used in extreme southern climates that rarely experience winter temperatures below 40° F such as south Florida. A split system is the most common type using an outdoor condenser and an indoor air handler.

Split AC Cooling Only Systems
Split AC systems with straight cooling
Primarily used in spaces where an existing heating system such as radiant or floor heat is already in place and AC is the only requirement. A split system is the most common type using an outdoor condenser and an indoor air handler.

These are AC systems using a gas furnace for heating. They are used anywhere you have propane or natural gas available. Perfect for the coldest climates. A split system is the most common type using an outdoor condenser and an indoor air handler or furnace.

Split AC Dual Fuel Hybrid Heat Pump Systems
Split AC systems with dual heating furnaces
These AC heat pump systems use a gas furnace as the backup heat source instead of an electric heating element. When the heat pump no longer produces enough heat on a cold day, the gas furnace will activate and provide 100% of the required heating. Most useful for cold climates but they can be used in all climates.

Package Unit Systems
Package unit air conditioning units
Also known as self-contained package units, these all-in-one systems are located outdoors with no need for an indoor section such as an air handler or furnace. Perfect for homes on a crawl space with ductwork in the floor, rooftop applications, and mobile homes.

These all electric AC and heating split systems are perfectly designed and compatible for use in mobile homes where you have an indoor unit (air handler) matched to an outdoor unit (condenser). Most suitable for all but the absolute coldest climates.

Mobile Home Split Electric Heating Systems
AC heat pump systems for mobile home
These all electric split AC and heating systems are most suitable for extreme southern, low-demand heating climates such as south Florida and south Texas. These are a little less expensive to purchase than the much more efficient heating side of heat pumps and will cost more to operate than heat pumps or a gas furnace in the winter. Not recommended for anywhere but the extreme south.

Mobile Home Split and Gas Heating Systems
AC with gas furnace systems for mobile home
These split AC and heating systems are suitable for all climates and include a gas furnace for use with natural or propane gas, a cooling evaporator coil, and an outdoor AC unit (condenser).
