Get a customized air conditioning solution for your home

It's important NOT to take a "one-size-fits-all" approach when installing an AC system. To get the best efficiency, comfort and overall value, Halco will take the time to specify a "right-sized" air conditioning system and choose AC components that match your home's installation requirements. Some of the most common options are explained below.

Air conditioning installation options for different home conditions

Cool news. Thanks to ongoing innovation, air conditioning systems installed today can be more than twice as efficient as those installed 10 years ago.

• Existing forced-air heating system. If your home already has a ductwork system that delivers warm air throughout the house during winter months, the same ductwork can distribute cooled air from a new central AC system.
• Existing forced-air heating & cooling. In this case, you already have central AC, but your old system needs to be replaced. If you plan to stay in your house, this is a smart upgrade because new ENERGY STAR® equipment can be more than twice as efficient as older equipment.
• No forced-air system. Since it's difficult and expensive to install new ductwork in an existing house, you might consider having mini-split, "ductless" air conditioning installed. Each room will get a compact, wall-mounted air handler with its own wireless controller, making it easy to control temperatures in each room. Avoid the portable, window-mounted AC option if possible. It cuts off your view and your option for natural ventilation during milder weather. It's also the noisiest option.
• Ducted & Ductless Combination. Some homes have an existing forced air heating and cooling system, but it doesn't include other areas of the home like a garage, a bonus room, or recently added square footage. Halco can combine an efficient ducted system with ductless heat pumps to bring efficient heating and cooling to your whole home.
• Major renovation. A major "gut rehab" gives you the option of having new ductwork installed for a forced-air, whole-house system; or you could opt for ductless, mini-split AC, or a combination of both.
• Home addition. It's sometimes possible to extend the ductwork of an existing forced-air system to serve your new living space. Otherwise, you can enjoy the same comfort and efficiency levels by having a ductless mini-split system installed.
• New construction. If you're building a new house, all options are open. Just make sure to hire an AC expert, like the pros at Halco.

Heat pumps for AC replacement & more

We also offer advanced options like air source heat pumps and ductless mini splits as well as geothermal heat pumps air conditioning replacement, and as a supplement to existing AC systems. Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling, making them a versatile and energy-efficient choice for year-round comfort. Ductless mini splits can be installed in home with or without existing ductwork, offering the flexibility to cool individual rooms with compact, all-electric, wall-mounted units. Both systems are designed to maximize efficiency and minimize energy costs, ensuring you stay comfortable while saving on utility bills. Trust Halco to recommend and install the best solution for your home, tailored to your specific requirements.
