If you want your air conditioning unit to do more, there are three new trendy ways to upgrade it. At Northern's One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning®, we generally help homeowners in the Minneapolis area save money on their long-term budget by informing them about installing a more efficient unit. Nonetheless, some homeowners simply enjoy the new features of cutting edge technology. In order to keep your house comfortable with the latest engineering, take a look at the following trends for upgrading a pre-existing air conditioner.

A new twist on old-fashioned window units

Most homeowners consider windows units to be a relic from the past. However, if you have a room in your house that tends to get steamy, providing extra central air conditioning for that specific space can be difficult. In most cases, an HVAC contractor would recommend that a new air conditioner window unit was the ultimate solution. Today, you do not need to worry about having the frame of your window altered to accommodate these bulky air conditioners. The latest technology has upgraded the traditional window unit into independent standalone models that only require minimal installation by a professional contractor.

Adding more circulation power

For some homeowners, they feel they need to replace their central air with a new unit because the upstairs is hotter than the downstairs. While a new air conditioner installation may be in order, part of this issue can be eliminated by encouraging the air to circulate in the ducts. After an air handler is installed in the attic, homeowners often find that they do not need to alter anything else about their current central air unit.

Filtering the air you breathe

When you have allergies or other breathing difficulties, the quality of the air is one of your top priorities. In order to filter out allergens and pollutants, a variety of HVAC air filters can be installed to work with your current air conditioner. When the time is right to call a Minneapolis air conditioner company, let us know you are in the market for the latest in new air conditioner upgrades. Northern's One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning® is one call away at (763) 284-8639, and we are happy to help you with any questions you may have.
