Types of Heating & Cooling Systems

The perfect system for your home depends on several factors, including the physical specifications of your home. Whichever innovative products you select, there are a few primary types of heating and cooling systems: split systems, hybrid heat split systems, and the Infinity System.

The most typical and traditional heating and cooling systems are split systems. With a our split system, you have products that reside both inside and outside your home. Our innovative traditional split system includes:

• Air Conditioner—Cools refrigerant
• Furnace and Evaporator Coil, or a Fan Coil—Converts refrigerant and circulates air
• Ducts—Carry the air throughout your home
• Control or Thermostat—Your interface for controlling your system
• Optional Air Quality Accessories such as Air Cleaners or Ventilators—Clean your air before it circulates throughout your home.

Our hybrid heat split system is a more energy-efficient variation of the traditional heating and cooling split system. The inclusion of a heat pump allows the option of electricity-fueled heating and cooling, in addition to gas furnace heat. Our cost-effective hybrid heat split system includes:

• Heat Pump —Cools and/or heats
• Furnace and Evaporator Coil—Converts refrigerant and circulates air
• Ducts—Carry the air throughout your home
• Control or Thermostat—Your interface for controlling your system
• Optional Air Quality Accessories such as Air Cleaners or Ventilators—Clean your air before it circulates throughout your home.
