2. If there is one thing that the professionalism at
Action Cooling & Heating in Fort Meyers,
Florida can tell you, it’s that no two HVAC
needs are the same. With the number of HVAC
solutions available on the market, it can
become confusing trying to find the right unit
for your needs. With this brief guide to the
different types of HVAC units available, sorting
through the various types should be a little
easier.

3. The single & multi-stage HVAC systems work in tandem with one another.
Typically, a single-stage HVAC unit is utilized in areas that experience extreme
weather conditions, both hot and cold. They work to provide optimal comfort
for the inside of your home based on the extremity of the weather. However,
because the areas where single units are commonly used are extreme, your unit
will constantly be functioning at full capacity. This is where a multi-stage unit
comes in handy.
A multi-stage unit uses multiple levels of heating and cooling for your home to
help save energy. Similar to how a light switch dimmer works, it adjusts to set
conditions in increments. Multi-stage systems are extremely efficient and uses
lower energy since the system does not need to repeatedly turn on and off.

4. If you have specific areas in your home that you
want to heat/cool instead of others, zoned HVAC
systems are ideal for your needs. With a zoned
system, you can heat/cool individual areas of
your home through controlled valves and zone
dampers.
A zoned system gives you a more specific range
of control. This in return helps to cut down on
costs, as you are only heating/cooling the rooms
that you need, when you need.

5. Action Cooling & Heating has realized that many
consumers believe humidifiers and dehumidifiers are
automatically included in their HVAC unit. Contrary to
what most consumers believe, all HVAC systems do not
automatically come with humidifiers and dehumidifiers.
Instead, these are optional features that you have to
choose with your system.
Humidifiers and dehumidifiers are essential upgrades
for those who live in very dry or humid climates. These
upgraded HVAC systems that include these features
allow you to control the humidity levels as your home
heats/cools. Many people have found that it helps with
allergies and allergy related issues (itchy eyes, nose
bleeds, etc).

6. There are a variety of air conditioning systems
available on the market, including ductless
units. Choosing the right cooling system
depends greatly on what the needs for your
home are. For example, residents in Fort Meyers,
Florida commonly use central units or units that
cool the entire house. On the other hands,
someone in Philadelphia may only use a window
unit for certain months of the year.

7. There are two main types of heating units:
furnaces and boilers. The most popular type of
heating in the United States is furnace systems.
The furnace works by releasing heated air into
the ductwork. On the other hand, boilers heat
water for radiators and pumps.
Furnaces are typically fueled by natural gas or
propane whereas your boilers are gas or oil
fueled.
