Air Conditioning Options for Old Houses

Sure, older homes are charming and full of character, but they come with their fair share of problems too — one of the biggest being cooling and heating the home in an efficient way. Fortunately, living in a home built decades or even centuries ago doesn’t have to limit your ability to remain cool and comfortable during the hot and humid months. Technological improvements are enabling people who own older houses to enjoy several air conditioning options. Here are some available options for homeowners of old houses.

Ceiling Fans

Living in Florida, it’s impossible to solely rely on ceiling fans for the better part of the year. However, using ceiling fans in conjunction with your air conditioning system can help the rooms in your home feel cooler by promoting better air flow within the residence.

Ductless Air Conditioning

Ductless air conditioning systems are a great option for older homes that lack ductwork. With a ductless air conditioning system, a small indoor unit and an outdoor compressor are installed. The  to the indoor unit is connected to the outdoor compressor via a tiny cable and refrigerated line. Together, the two units created cooled air, which is dispersed via the small indoor unit. Not only are these systems quiet and energy-efficient, but they are easy to install and are perfect for virtually any home. You can read more about how ductless air conditioning systems work here.

Central Heating and Air Conditioning

A central heating and air conditioning system is often an efficient choice for older homes depending on the home’s layout. Although having ductwork installed can be expensive, a quality central heating and air conditioning system is a great investment that can last upwards of 15 years.
