Central Air Conditioning Systems

At Laird and Son Heating & Air Conditioning, we handle several styles and brands of central air conditioning systems. Generally, these are the type that can be seen attached to a traditional Toronto area forced-air heating system. Approximately 85% of GTA homes use this type of system, regardless of the type of furnace in use.

We've all seen those familiar square boxes outside many houses; this is most likely the condensing unit of a central air conditioning system. It may also be called a split system, because there is a second component called an evaporator coil, which is installed inside the duct near the furnace. The household air passes through the evaporator coil (to be cooled and dehumidified), and is then sent through your duct system using the furnace blower. Central air conditioning systems typically use your existing thermostat, or a modern replacement heat/cool model if appropriate.

Our home comfort consultants would be happy to discuss central air conditioning, ductless air conditioning, or attic based air conditioning with you. Contact us today for a free, no obligation estimate.
