Converting to Refrigerated Air

HVAC unit outside of homeAn efficient and functional HVAC is central to a comfortable home. If your air conditioner or heater goes out even for a few hours you could be in a world of trouble. This is especially true about El Paso summers. One day without an air conditioner can raise temperatures in a home to 90 degrees or higher. A lot of homeowners ask us here at Mechanical Technologies the same question, is a swamp cooler or refrigerated air conditioner better for my home?

Why is Refrigerated Air Better?

At Mechanical Technologies we recommend using a refrigerated air HVAC system. A conversion to refrigerated air is a better option for several reasons. First of all, a swamp cooler pushes air through wet pads and into the home to produce cooler temperatures. The moisture in the air can cause several other issues. For one, swamp coolers are ineffective during humid weather. Secondly, the moisture in the home can cause changes to doorframes and windows. These problems don’t happen with refrigerated air.

A refrigerated air system cools the air with an outdoor compressor and condenser coil that is connected to the indoor furnace and evaporator coil. The system uses refrigerant to cool the air. Another perk to this system is that it is self-contained. There is no need to leave windows or doors cracked to help it work. In fact, it is better to have a sealed system for optimal performance.

What Does Converting my HVAC System Entail?

In most homes converting your HVAC system from a swamp cooler to refrigerated air is not a difficult process. If the previous maintenance team installed the ductwork properly the same system can work for the new refrigerated air cooler. The process can be as simple as switching out the HVAC system. A refrigerated air system is also easier to switch during season changes as well. Many homeowners like the switch they have made because they feel as though a refrigerated air system is easier to maintain and work throughout the year.
