What Are the Different Types of Air Conditioning Systems?
In the Richmond, VA, area, most homes have split-system air conditioners. Also popular in Richmond homes are packaged air conditioners and ductless AC systems.
The main differences between these types of AC units are outlined below.
Split AC Systems
- The compressor or “condensing unit” is outdoors.
- The furnace or air handler is indoors.
- The evaporators are indoors.
- Copper refrigerant piping connects the condenser to the evaporator.
- A duct system connected to the air handler or furnace distributes the air.
Packaged Central Air Conditioners
- The compressor, condenser, and an evaporator are all in a cabinet outdoors.
- Every part of the system is enclosed in one cabinet.
- These systems often include electric heating coils or a natural gas furnace as part of the unit.
- A duct system connected to the packaged AC distributes the air.
Ductless AC Units or Mini-Split Systems
- These units operate as a split system but don’t use ductwork.
- The air handler is usually mounted on a wall.
- Cool air blows directly out of the air handler without the use of ductwork.
- These units are the most efficient way to cool homes.
What Size AC Unit Do I Need for My Home?
Getting an appropriately sized air conditioner is critical to assuring your system efficiently meets your needs now and for years to come. If your AC unit is too big for your house, it won’t remove humidity. If it’s too small, it won’t be able to keep your home cool.
For expert advice regarding the right size air conditioner system for your home, contact F.H. Furr.
Call 833-228-2481 or contact us for expert assistance with all your air conditioning needs.
Some factors to consider when selecting the size of your AC system include:
- Climate
- The size and age of your home
- The number, type, and age of your home’s windows
- Your home’s insulation
- And more
The team at F.H. Furr is fully trained on Manual J load calculations, the industry standard for properly sizing a heating or cooling system.
If you need a new air conditioner, we’re always ready to discuss your options and help you choose the proper size and type of system for your home.

What Does SEER Mean?
SEER stands for seasonal energy efficiency ratio. All central air conditioners have a SEER rating, measuring the efficiency of the unit or system. You can think of a SEER rating like MPG fuel efficiency for a car. The higher the SEER rating, the more energy-efficient the AC or heat pump is.
Currently, the minimum efficiency standard for ACs in the Richmond area is 14 SEER. Every few years, the minimum efficiency is raised. Most systems we replace are from the 6 to 12 SEER range.
This means that replacing an old, inefficient system with a system that meets today’s minimum efficiency standards can greatly improve comfort while reducing energy bills.
How Efficient Are Modern Air Conditioners?
Most new air conditioners are 14 to 20 SEER. There are ductless air conditioners that can achieve up to 42 SEER. Each increase in SEER number can save 6% to 8% on your cooling costs.
Many new systems also have a multi-stage compressor. A system with a multi-stage compressor can run at a lower speed when it’s not as hot outside. This feature dramatically improves the energy efficiency of these types of air conditioners.
If you need a new AC and are looking for expert advice on the best system for your home, contact the team at F.H. Furr. We can explain your best options based on your needs and budget.
