If you use a boiler for heating your home, chances are you have wondered how you can keep your home cool in the summer. In fact, many people ask their HVAC professionals whether or not it is even possible to have air conditioning installed. One of the problems these homeowners face is that the boiler heating system in their home means there are no ducts to carry cool air from a traditional central air conditioning system. Fortunately, it is still possible to cool your home.
One very common method of bringing air conditioning comfort to a home with a boiler heating system is to simply install a ductless mini split cooling system. The ductless mini split system utilizes a condenser which is situated outdoors as well as an indoor air handler which can be installed in a wall for added convenience. This system is generally designed to cool specific zones, so keeping your entire home air conditioned is generally not possible. However, it is possible to install a single condenser unit to bring cool air to several indoor air handlers. This way you can have air conditioning in the rooms where you spend most of your time.
Another system that provides cooling relief is the attic air system. The attic air conditioning system has a condenser located outdoors with an indoor air handler installed in the attic. Ductwork must be installed in order to carry the conditioned air to various locations in your home. This cooling system will typically be able to effectively cool your entire home.
Similar to the traditional attic air conditioning system, a High Velocity system also makes use of an outdoor condenser as well as an air handler that is installed in your attic. However, instead of having to run traditional rigid ductwork, smaller tubes are used to carry cool air to different points in your home. One of the advantages with this type of cooling system is that it uses the smaller tubes to deliver cool air, so there is no need to worry about interfering with design elements of your home.
